Race results

Does anyone know how to easily convert web-based race results into an
Excell spreadsheet readable format or import it into Excell?
I've send several emails trying to get race results also posted in
Excell but nothing has changed yet. I enjoy doing post race number
crunching and with a spreadsheet it's so much easier. The ones I've
converted so far where rather time consuming and only for small races
with a limited (< 400) number of participants. I would copy/paste the
web-page content into a document and replace spaces with columns but
there is an enormous amount of time going into cleaning things up, even
after I've imported it into Excell. Any suggestions how to improve this
process or how to convince race directors to post results in Excell
would be greatly appreciated.
Thx, Hank.
