Ron Clarke Scholarship 2020 Athletics International Ron Clarke Scholarship 2020 OBJECTIVE The aim of the scholarship is to provide support for a middle distance/distance athlete to achieve his or her athletic and educational potential. The recipient will be expected to uphold those values demonstrated by Ron over his life: commitment to his athletic career, his education and his subsequent working life; support of the athletics community; and dedication to his family and other important relationships. RON’S CAREER Ron Clarke was truly a “renaissance man”. His lifetime achievements include being a successful businessman, an environmental crusader, Mayor of the Gold Coast for eight years, a philanthropist and a devoted family man. But it is as a runner that Ron is best known. Ron showed that distance runners could race hard, race fearlessly and race anyone. His assault on performance barriers was stunning: in his halcyon days Ron took almost 40 seconds off the world record for 10,000 metres between December 1963 and July 1965 (36 seconds in one race), and 18 seconds off the world record for 5000 between January 1965 and July 1966. Ron won an Olympic bronze medal at 10,000 in Tokyo in 1964 and silver medals at three miles at the Perth Commonwealth Games in 1962, at three and six miles in Kingston Jamaica in 1966 and at 10,000 metres in Edinburgh in 1970. In all, he set 17 world records over the period 1963 to 1968, in events ranging from 2 miles to one hour. RON’S CONTRIBUTION TO ATHLETICS INTERNATIONAL In the late 1960s, there was a dearth of international competition in Australia. Glenhuntly Athletics Club, of which Ron was always a proud member, went guarantor for several meets at Olympic Park in 1968. A main attraction was to see people like Ron, Ralph Doubell, Derek Clayton and Kerry O’Brien run. Close to 20,000 spectators would turn up. In part, this led to several of our very top athletes at the time, including Ron, establishing Athletics International (AI). The inaugural meeting of AI was held at Helen (Ron’s wife) and Ron’s home on 15 December 1968, and was attended by 37 of our then best athletes. Ray Weinberg was elected the first President and Ron became the AI Patron, a position he held until he passed away in June 2015. AI’s aim was to provide international competition for Australia’s athletes, and to help bring Australia’s coaching standards and facilities up to international level. In 1971 AI published Athletics the Australian Way (followed later by a second edition), with Ron both the editor and a contributor. These books contained ‘comments, advice, thought and stories about the events in which each contributor specialised and their approach to athletics’. Profits from the track meets and sales of Athletics the Australian Way provided the capital to establish the Athletics International Trust. Today, this Trust funds AI’s initiatives to help young and emerging athletes, including the domestic and international travel grants programs, and the Athletics International Ron Clarke Scholarship. Luke Mathews was the inaugural Ron Clarke Scholarship holder in 2016, with subsequent recipients being Lora Storey (2017) and Georgia Griffith (2018). In all Ron, through both his athletic profile and desire to put something back into the sport of athletics, played a vital part in AI getting off the ground. THE RON CLARKE SCHOLARSHIP 1. Funding and associated obligations The Athletics International Trust has allocated up to $5,000 each year for this scholarship. The AI Awards Committee will oversee the awarding of the scholarship payments. The successful athlete will receive $2,500 at the start of their first semester of study. The Ron Clarke Scholarship holder will receive a second $2,500 at the start of the second semester, following receipt by the AI Awards Committee of: • Evidence of successful completion of the requirements of semester one; and • A progress report on how the Scholarship has assisted the holder to progress both their educational and athletic goals. At the completion of the academic year, the Ron Clarke Scholarship holder must: • Provide to AI a final report indicating how the $5,000 assisted him/her to progress in their education of choice and their athletic career. • The Scholarship holder will, where practical, be required to give a short presentation to the “Strawberries and Cream” function on their progress over the past year, and aspirations for the future. This function, to commemorate Ron’s world records at the Oslo Meet, is generally held in association with the Zatopek 10km meet in Melbourne in December. • Finally, the Scholarship holder will be required to prepare short articles for the AI Newsletter as requested, but no more than twice a year both in the year of holding the Scholarship and the next two years. 2. Mentoring The recipient of the scholarship will be offered a mentor from Athletics International if they wish. The mentor’s role will not be a coaching one, but rather one that provides support and advice when needed. Typically, this mentor will be a former elite athlete and have experiences that could provide lessons for the scholarship recipient. 3. Criteria The scholarship criteria best reflect many of the characteristics Ron held dear. Applicants need to be able to demonstrate they: • are an Australian citizen • are a promising runner in a distance from 800m to the marathon, including the 3km steeplechase • can demonstrate a commitment to athletics, as shown through participation over several seasons, including currently • have demonstrated improvement over recent years, with potential to achieve elite status • are a student attending a post-secondary education institution in Australia and undertaking, as a minimum, a 50 per cent but preferably a 75 per cent load • do not receive significant financial support from Athletics Australia/NASS, State Institutes of Sport or other sponsors Closing date Friday 28th February 2020 Application form The completed application form should be emailed to: [email protected] ATHLETICS INTERNATIONAL RON CLARKE SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION FORM Section 1: Personal Details Family Name: Given Names: DOB: Age @ 31 December 2019: Gender: M / F Australian Citizen: Y /N Residential Address: Mailing Address: Phone: Mobile: Email: Section 2: Tertiary Study Institution: Course: Year commenced: Units completed: 2020 load: Full Time/Part-Time Number of units per semester: Section 3: Athletics Achievements Discipline (e.g. 800m, 3000m Steeplechase): Number of years of training and competition: Current Athletics Club: Current Coach: Current state/national/international U20 rankings if applicable (please state distance and category of each ranking): Current state/national/international senior rankings (please state distance and category of each ranking): Previous and Current State/National/International titles: Previous National and International championships you have attended (please give title of event, year, result): Any other significant sporting or personal achievements, awards: Section 4: Aspirations and commitment to Athletics 1.

    1 PEOPLE WHO CHANGED MELBOURNE Schools City Tour of Melbourne: www.melbournewalks.com.au/city-schools-tour ; www.melbournewalks.com; [email protected] ; Copyright Melbourne Walks © Peter Lalor, Rebel (1827-1889) As Eureka stockade leader in December 1854 I took the oath of the rebel miners: ‘We swear by the Southern Cross to stand truly by each other to defend our rights and liberties’. I lost my arm in that battle yet later became the only outlaw ever elected to parliament! On 24 Nov 1857 all men received the right to vote. Our Southern Cross flag is now the Australian flag. Down with tyranny! John Batman, Founder of Colonial Melbourne (1801 –1839) I was a Tasmania sheep farmer when I led an expedition to sign a ‘treaty’ with Aboriginal ‘chiefs’ in 1835 to found the settlement of Melbourne and the colony of Victoria. I captured bushranger Mathew Brady and married a runaway convict Eliza Callaghan. We had seven children in all. At Melbourne’s first land sale in 1837. I bought the Young and Jackson Hotel site opposite Flinders Street Station to build a home for my children. It became a schoolhouse in 1839 and today a famous pub. See Chloe upstairs! Ron Clarke, Runner 1937- I had the great honour of carrying the torch into the stadium in the Melbourne Olympic Games in 1956. I was also the first man to run three miles in under 13 minutes. They said I was fastest man on the planet when I broke 17 world records and 25 Australian records in 1965.

  • Our Part in Four-Minute Mile History
    Our part in four-minute mile history Bruce McAvaney addressed a dinner in Melbourne recently, to commemorate Australian John Landy's first sub-four-minute mile and world record, run 50 years ago, six weeks after Roger Bannister first went under four. This is the transcript of his speech. "Here is the result of event No.9, the one mile: No. 41, R G Bannister, of the Amateur Athletic Association and formerly of Exeter and Merton Colleges, with a time that is a new meeting and track record, and which, subject to ratification, with be a new English native, British National, British all-comers, European, British Empire and World Record. The time is 3…." That's arguably the most famous cue, let alone understated announcement in athletics history…3 Minutes, 59.4 seconds! He was a formidable character, the announcer. Norris McWhirter died earlier this year, unfortunately just before the 50th anniversary of the first sub-four minute mile. McWhirter apparently had rehearsed assiduously the night before, in his bath, and it was through him that the BBC, the newsreel camera and most of the print media were present that day. McWhirter, and his twin Ross, who was gunned down in 1975 by the IRA, were joint founders and editors of the Guinness Book of Records. McWhirter had a sense of humour. Here in Melbourne at the 1956 Olympics, he told the story of a middle-aged Australian woman who, observing distressing scenes at the finish of the marathon exclaimed, "Cripes, how many qualify for the final?"… Back to Bannister, and the race: is it the sport's finest achievement? How does the 3.59.4 stack up with other athletic landmarks? Classics such as our own Ron Clarke's 27:39.4 in Oslo in 1965, a 35 second improvement on the previous mark.
