Western Province Athletics www.wpa.org.za March 2014 Newsletter Editorial January and February literally raced past us as WP athletes participated in events for top honors. Our commissions are active and participating at all events in the forthcoming action-packed March calendar. Preparations for the provincial and national championships are well in their final stages. The National 10 km Championships took place in Bloemfontein over the weekend of 22nd February with our athletes performing admirably with our master athletes bringing back medals. The WPA Junior and Senior Track & Field championships takes place from the 6 - 8th March and after an extremely good 2013 season we trust the athletes will follow the trend and achieve their best times, heights and distances which will place them in good stead for the many competitions to follow. The honor as a provincial or national champion should be the goal of every athlete participating. My best wishes to all administrators, coaches and athletes participating in these competitions. Our road running events are showing increased participatory levels at the moment as many runners are now preparing for the two prestigious events on the WPA calendar. These 2 events will collectively host more than 50 000 participants in April. The Old Mutual Two Oceans Ultra marathon and its ancillary events top the table with more than 30 000 participants. Followed closely will be the SPAR 10 & 5 km event with more than 20 000 female participants. The ever popular Kids Athletics Development Programme got under way in February. Clubs participating in this program benefit massively by influencing the lives of youngsters. A Teen Athletics and talent identification programmes will be launched soon. These development programmes are hugely successful with promising athletes being selected last season to represent WPA at the national Cross Country championships. The Cross Country season is almost upon us and the Commission is busy with the preparations with some exciting new venues and courses being launched. After months of uncertainty within ASA the IAAF finally intervened and successfully negotiated a settlement to the conflict. The ASA Board and the Interim Board were both dissolved and an adhoc committee put in place to prepare for fresh elections to take place at the end of May 2014. The IAAF delegate Mr. Cheikh Thiare reminded all that all administrators must never loose sight of the following and I quote “The athletes must never suffer” and “The main goal is to reunite the SA athletics family and bring back peace and order in the house” As part of the agreement reached all court cases and related disputes were to be dropped immediately – "Athletics does not belong in the courts of a country" These powerful words and phrases were used by the IAAF and agreed as preconditions for a lasting solution. Let every administrator, coach, assistant and official remember the golden rule - without any athletes there will be NO ATHLETICS. Running Regards Jakes Jacobs Commission News CROSS COUNTRY Cliffie Jacobs resigned from the Cross Country Commission due to work commitments in Northern Gauteng. We wish him everything of the best with his new appointment in the Defence Force. A meeting with clubs hosting Cross Country events was held on 11 February 2014. MP Titans indicated that they are not hosting the 7th league on 26 July 2014, due to lack of manpower. The event will remain at Rocklands. Any club who wants to do the 7th league, please get in touch with the chairperson, Russell Mehl on 084 5455 851 or Ben Oliver 082 2927 215. Rowhaldo Ratz was selected to represent South Africa at the 2014 Southern Region Cross Country Championships in Potchefstroom on Saturday, 15 February 2014. Unfortunately this meeting did not take place. The season will start with the Relay organized by Pinelands Athletic club at Pinehurst Primary School on 12 April 2014. Flyers will be ready for distribution on 12 March 2014. Last year we had 137 teams competing so for 2014 we are catering for 150 teams. Come along and make it a family day. Club News TOPFORM ATHLETIC CLUB TOPFORM 10KM EVENT AND WPA 10KM CHAMPIONSHIPS “The idea that the harder you work, the better you're going to be is just garbage. The greatest improvement is made by the man or woman who works most intelligently.” ― Bill Bowerman The TOPFORM AC based in the Athlone area, is a vibrant and enthusiastic club that advances the sport of athletics through additional sporting and social events. In 2013 the club celebrated its 20th anniversary and currently is experiencing a “golden age” in terms of membership, social activities and solid leadership. The members of the TOPFORM family wear the turquoise and white with pride and are clearly visible at most of the WPA races as well as bigger events such as the Comrades Marathon. Besides participating in events, TOPFORM has excelled in organizing various other events such as the Bay to Bay and has assisted with SPAR Ladies and the Jive Big Walk and also presents a popular Cross Country event in Elfindale. The technical organizing team is extremely efficient and focuses on presenting high quality events and has set its sights on being the first club in WPA to score 100% on the race referees score card. It is the following words from our dearly departed president Mr Nelson Mandela who said, “There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living”. The referee’s criteria for assessing an event include the following: Score Description 10 Exceptional. Best ever. 9 Superb. Outstanding effort 8 Excellent. Special effort shown 7 Great. Everything done to a high standard 6 Good effort made in many areas 5 Reasonable. All important elements in place 4 Poor. Basic requirements there but poor implementation 3 Unsatisfactory. Several basic requirements missing. 2 Hopeless. 1 Why bother? 0 Non-existent According to the above criteria the club scored 78, 5%- which rates the race as good, so it’s back to the drawing board. We will strive relentlessly to achieve this goal and will not settle for less. It is against this backdrop that the clubs annual event took place on Saturday 08 February at Turfhall Park Softball Stadium with the main event starting at 06:30, attracting just over 1500 participants. The 10km League Walk had 100 finishers and the Fun Run had 200 participants. The TOPFORM AC would like to thank the following sponsors for their support: • City of Cape Town • Bellandia • Easipack • Vito • Melomed 24 Race entries were taken on Friday 07/02/2014 with 500 entries being taken. A special commemorative mug for the 2014 WPA 10km Race Championships was designed and handed to all finishers of the 10km event. In addition to the category prize money, an added bonus was paid by WPA to all category winners (R1000 for 1st, R750 for 2nd and R500 for 3rd place) The medal table for the race is indicated below OPEN NAME TIME CLUB OPEN NAME TIME CLUB NBank 1 Nkosinathi Maoyo 30:28 56 Pamela Moyikwa 37:25 VOB WP Nkosinathi 2 30:57 Itheko 58 Danette Smith 37:43 N Bal Sotyantya NBank 3 Mthandazo Quina 31:01 59 Busisiwe Gwala 37:47 VOB WP (40 - 49) (40 - 49) 9 Graham Katzen 21:26 Itheko 86 Sandra van Graan 40:38 E/Mead NBank 26 Tholang Moloi 33:28 SANDF 117 Chantal Simpson 42:47 WP 27 Roger Dickson 33:36 VOB 121 Patricia Adams 43:02 Itheko (50 - 59) (50 - 59) 35 Chris Mitchell 36:01 Celtic 93 Viv Williams 41:17 ATC 54 Ludwig Lillie 37:18 Durbac 131 Olga Howard 44:08 Celtic H Goodman 73 39:28 Gugs 141 Bev Charters 44:31 VOB Mpukane (60-69) (60-69) 70 Barry Bester 39:17 N Bal 232 Helen Du Plessis 48:16 Tygerb 74 Awie Veldsman 39:29 HH 280 Nancy Will 49:47 P/Lands Ommiedr 82 Mohammad Kriel 40:28 291 Pixie Sparg 50:14 Celtic H aai (70+) (70+) 311 Chet Sainsbury 50:51 Celtic H 712 Marlene James 1:01:32 P/Lands 353 Carl Hendricks 52:03 Elsies R 789 Carol Gawiler 1:03:48 VOB Ommiedr 480 Yusuf Gamieldien 55:57 Itheko 1453 Mariam Khan 1:33:20 aai (Juniors) (Juniors) 18 Granwin Katzen 33:28 Itheko 56 Pamela Moyikwa 37:25 VOB 21 Lungile Mdaka 33:36 VOB 59 Busisiwe Gwala 37:47 VOB 29 Buhle Yolwana 35:25 VOB 59 Ashleigh Simons 39:47 Tygerb Figure 1 Marshals at final briefing Figure 2 Lead runner behind lead bike The weather conditions were cool with a thick mist at the start which cleared after twenty minutes into the race. Overall the race was well organized; however there was a lack of water at the first water table, but the matter was rectified as soon as possible. The traffic officers performed their duties well and assisted the marshals at the major intersections. Due to pre-race campaigning in the area many spectators came out to watch and supported the runners with hosepipes and even koeksusters were supplied at the halfway mark. The overall feedback from runners and officials were good and the organising team will be debriefing soon in an attempt to address the shortcomings that were experienced. We would also like to thank all the clubs and individuals who participated during this year’s event and hope to see you back again.

    Western Province Athletics www.wpa.org.za November 2012 Newsletter EditoEditorialrialrialrial At last we can welcome summer after a very long cold and wet winter season. Unfortunately a few of the events hosted during October were heavily affected by the wind and rain. The weather at last is starting to change and the participating numbers are starting to increase. The highlight on the October calendar was most certainly the OUTsurance Gun Run, hosted by Atlantic Athletic Club. The participating numbers exceeded all expectations and the event was hosted in perfect conditions along the Atlantic Seaboard. WPA is looking forward to November’s two big events, namely, Landmarks Half Marathon, followed by the Mr Price Marathon and Half Marathon. The ever popular Wednesday evening events commence from 28 November. The quality of these events, hosted by the different clubs, must encourage temporary licenced runners to participate in more events with the ultimate goal of bringing them into the WPA affiliated club structure. The new Track and Field season is in full swing, an urgent appeal goes out to all WPA clubs to please inform and promote track & field events to their athletes. WPA is lagging behind with quality performances across the board specifically in all the senior levels of participation in Cross Country and Road Running. The lack of a proper coaching structure from National level down to the provinces and clubs is resulting in slow times and very few quality performances. The quality of the athletes within WPA can change as soon as we get these athletes back on track in all the middle distances.

    Western Province Athletics www.wpa.org.za December 2011 Newsletter Editorial A monumental year in Western Province Athletics' history is drawing to a close. This year has witnessed great changes in sport in the country, with the recent Sports Indaba setting the path for South African sport going into the future. It also witnessed major changes in the sport of athletics. Far from the turmoil of 2009, 2011 was the year in which the sport started to perform, WPA was central to this. It is necessary to take a couple of steps back into history and remember the role which WPA played in bringing about the changes in the administration of the sport after the scandals which wracked ASA in 2009. But it was not just in the role of activist which WPA excelled. When called upon to assist, we have been ready and able to do so. Such that ASA and other provinces have been able to call on ASA to assist with personnel and equipment when needed. When WPA was asked to step in to organise a track meeting for ASA, we did not hesitate. And we have not been short on providing leadership to the sport on a national level. Not many provinces have been able to boast having the ASA, SAMA and USSA Athletics Presidents all being members of their province. The year saw WPA hosting three internationally recoginised events, in the inaugural CAA African Cross Country Championships in March, the Cape Town Marathon and the SA 50km Race Walking Championships. In addition, Cape Town also played host to national track and field events, with the Yellow Pages Series and the Yellow Pages Interprovincial meetings both being held at Bellville.
