Roderick "Roddy" McLeod
Roddy McLeod Sr. born in Lancaster, Ontario. His heavyweight career started in 1975 while he was attending The Glengarry Highland Games. After a couple of liquid encouragements with the boys, he decided that he’d like to try the Heavyweight Events . And so, as was the custom in those earlier days, he just walked onto the field, received a few instructions, and entered into his first competition.
Roddy has competed at many Highland Games throughout Eastern and Western Ont., Nova Scotia, and the U.S. over the past 30+ years. In 2005 he placed first in the World Masters Heavyweight Championship in Concord, N.H and at age 59 he took 2nd place in his age category in the 2006 World Masters Heavyweight Championship in Inverness, Scotland.
A number of years ago, he took over as Chairman of the Glengarry Games Heavyweight Events and has brought in and expanded the competitions to Amateur, Masters and Women.
