Achilles were fortunate and proud to have a such a man at the helm of the Club’s affairs for so long. Among countless initiatives, he organised a very high profile tour to Greece and Italy in the early 1950’s, took over from Harold Abrahams as Chairman, oversaw the establishment of the Achilles Trust when the US Series had all but collapsed through lack of funds, and raised sponsorship for major tours to Australia in the late 1970’s and Hong Kong and China in the early 1990’s. Athletic achievements included a rare victory over Roger Bannister, and he competed against Zatopek while representing Great Britain in the World Student Games. In spite of impaired speech and mobility in recent years, which prompted him to resign as our President of 40 years, Tommy had remained our Patron and maintained the keenest interest in Achilles affairs: he attended the 150th Varsity Match dinner in Oxford in May, and at the time of his death had been preparing to join Club mem- bers again for an Achilles Trust dinner in London.

Dawn Lucy (later Gaskin) was the first athlete I ever coached. Previously, she had made little progress for several years. In our first season together her improvement was such that the local newspaper was prompted to address her performances with this headline. ABSTRACT This study explores the history of English women's athletics, from the earliest references up to 1980. There is detailed discussion of smock racing and pedestrianism during the eighteenth- and nineteenth-centuries, but attention is focused on the period from 1921, when international and then domestic governing bodies were formed and athletics .became established as a legitimate sporting activity for women.

  • 0 Eulogy Delivered by Alan Jones Ao Honouring the Life
    EULOGY DELIVERED BY ALAN JONES AO HONOURING THE LIFE OF BETTY CUTHBERT AM MBE AT THE SYDNEY CRICKET GROUND MONDAY 21 AUGUST 2017 0 There is a crushing reminder of our own mortality in being here today to honour and remember the unyieldingly great Betty Cuthbert, AM. MBE. Four Olympic gold medals, one Commonwealth Games gold medal, two silver medals, 16 world records. The 1964 Helms World Trophy for Outstanding Athlete of the Year in all amateur sports in Australia. And it’s entirely appropriate that this formal and official farewell, sponsored by the State Government of New South Wales, should be taking place in this sporting theatre, which Betty adorned and indeed astonished in equal measure. It was here that in preparation for the Cardiff Empire Games in 1958 and the Rome Olympics in 1960, as the Games were being held in the Northern Hemisphere, out of season for Australian athletes, that winter competition was arranged to bring them to their peak. Races were put on here at the Sydney Cricket Ground at half time during a rugby league game. And it was in July 1978, as Betty was suffering significantly, but not publicly, from multiple sclerosis, that the government of New South Wales invited Betty Cuthbert to become the first woman member of the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust. Of course, in the years since that appointment, as Betty herself acknowledged, her road became often rocky and steep. 1 She once talked about the pitfalls, the craters and the hurdles. But along the way, she found many revival points.

The follow- Asia for the first time ing games in 1968 in Mexico City also began in October. The 1964 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XVIII Olympiad ( Dai J ūhachi-kai Orinpikku Ky ōgi Taikai ), were held in Tokyo , Japan , from October 10 to 24, 1964. Tokyo had been awarded the organization of the 1940 Summer Olympics , but this honor was subsequently passed to Helsinki because of Japan's invasion of China , before ultimately being canceled because of World War II . The 1964 Summer Games were the first Olym- pics held in Asia, and the first time South Africa was barred from taking part due to its apartheid system in sports. (South Africa was, however, allowed to compete at the 1964 Summer Paral- ympics , also held in Tokyo, where it made its Paralympic Games debut .) Tokyo was chosen as the host city during the 55th IOC Session in West Germany, on May 26, 1959. These games were also the first to be telecast internationally without the need for tapes to be flown overseas, as they had been for the 1960 Olympics four years earlier. The games were The 1964 Olympics were also the last to use a telecast to the United States using Syncom 3, the traditional cinder track for the track events.

  • Alaga Syrup As a Symbol in King Hedley II
    Vol. 2 | Summer 2020 Subverting the Role of Les Lieux de Memoire: Alaga Syrup as a Symbol in King Hedley II By Christopher Bell Associate Professor of English, University of North Georgia While the Alaga Billboard may evoke fond memories for those who recognize it, by the 1980s the Hill District, the setting of the play, was a food desert, a community wherein no healthy food options exist, and the product was no longer available in the neighborhood, rendering the presence of the Alaga billboard a negative symbol which complements Wilson’s depiction of the neighborhood as one that steadily declines during the second half of the Twentieth Century. Christopher Bell Abstract An analysis of the impact Alaga Syrup has had on Black communities and its relevance within August Wilson’s play, King Hedley II. Keywords August Wilson, Alaga Syrup, King Hedley II, Hill District, lieu de mémoire Introduction King Hedley II, the ninth play chronologically in August Wilson’s much lauded American Century Cycle, is the playwright’s darkest play. Set in 1985, approximately thirty years after the City of Pittsburgh began its so-called urban renewal project meant to revitalize the run-down Hill District neighborhood. The play focuses on the nadir of this plan. Beginning in the early 1950s, the city began demolishing the Lower Hill, displacing thousands of residents and shuttering hundreds of businesses. The Civic Arena was erected, establishing a tremendous source of income for both the white power structure and white owned businesses such as the Pittsburgh Penguins, while the Hill District benefitted little.

  • Mechanics of the Jump Approach
    MECHANICS OF THE JUMP APPROACH A Manuscript by Irving Schexnayder, University of Southwestern Louisiana Importance of the Jump Approach When projected into flight, the center of mass of any object (including the human body) follows a predetermined, predictable, unalterable parabolic curve. Thus, establishment of the proper flight path is totally dependant upon proper force application during ground contact. Since all takeoff forces, including eccentric forces, are applied while still in contact with the ground, any resultant rotations are produced during ground contact as well. These rotations continue into flight and assist or interfere with efficient landings and clearances. In light of these facts, it is obvious that proper force application at takeoff is the only way to produce good performances in the jumping events. Although good takeoffs produce good jumps, there are prerequisites to the execution of correct takeoff mechanics. Consider an athlete executing an approach run in a jumping event. A person running at relatively low speed can demonstrate greater accuracy in aligning the body into positions favorable for efficient takeoffs, because prior mechanical errors can be easily corrected. However, when dealing with the high velocities we see in competitive jumping, the correction of errors occurring during the run is limited due to time constraints, and is often impossible without great compromises. Also, at these higher velocities, reflexes play a much greater part in the pattern of movement, again minimizing the chances to correct earlier errors in body positioning. The execution of any part of an athletic endeavor is largely dependant upon the proper execution of prior parts. In cyclic tasks such as running, the correct execution of one cycle is prerequisite to the correct execution of the next cycle.

  • The JUMP! Impact Fund Is an Initiative Created by the JUMP! Foundation to Bring Experiential Education to Youth in Underserved Communities
    Impact The JUMP! Impact Fund is an initiative created by the JUMP! Foundation to bring experiential education to youth in underserved communities. The JUMP! Foundation is a non-profit social enterprise that uses experiential education to advance a world in which individuals, community leaders, and global citizens realize their passions and potential. GLOBAL HUB CHINA HUB CANADA HUB 1/5-1/6, Soi Ari 2, Phahonyothin Road No.15 9th Floor, Jingchao Mansion, SFU RADIUS Innovation Bangkok 10400 No.5 Nongzhangguan South Road, 308 W. Hastings Street, Thailand Chaoyang District, Beijing 100026 Vancouver, BC V6B 1K6 [email protected] JUMP! Impact The mission of JUMP! Impact is to: The Challenge? Today, children and youth aged 24 years and below make up nearly 40 percent of the world’s population, many of whom are concentrated in underdeveloped countries. Major challenges in these regions include inequity of wealth distribution, lack of employment opportunities, and rapid urbanization. The marginalization of youth in this context carries enormous negative implications for our global future as it causes a sense of disenfranchisement and lack of upward mobility, which can lead to ethnic, religious, and political conflicts1. Our Response? Innovative programming that utilizes experiential education to transform youth from under- served communities into globally competitive leaders for positives change in their lives and the world. We pair this approach with a unique methodology which brings together local NGOs, leaders, and youth to create sustainable impact.

  • Development of a Speed Model for Terrain Park Jumps
    Project Number: CAB-001 ` THE DEVELOPMENT & SOCIETAL IMPACTS OF A SPEED MODEL FOR TERRAIN PARK JUMPS An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Heather M. La Hart Date: Professor Chris A. Brown, IQP Advisor 1. Safety Analysis & Liability Project Number: CAB-001 ABSTRACT The objective of this project was to develop ways to design safer terrain parks. Two separate models, The Geometrical Jump Design Model and The Speed Model, were developed and produced criteria for the initial design and predicted the speed for any jump. To understand the opinions of society on terrain park safety and this research, questionnaires were distributed within the skiing culture. Through field data and surveys it was found that utilizing terrain park design models and integrating them into society and terrain would mostly be welcomed and used. ii Project Number: CAB-001 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to acknowledge Dan Delfino a fellow friend and student at WPI for his ongoing and continuous help, additions, and support of this project over the past two years. I would also like to thank my advisor Professor Chris Brown for the inspiration of this project, his continuous hard but helpful criticism, advice, guidance, and support throughout the entirety of this research.
