  • Athol Stubbs
    A. J. (ATHOL) STUBBS – WORLD BEST OVER THE 1 MILE WALK Athol Stubbs, born in 1910 and a member of Eastern Suburbs Athletics Club, was one of Australia’s greatest ever speed walkers, winning a variety of titles and setting various State and National walking records as well as producing two World Best performances. The first press cutting I have found on his career was dated January 10 1930 from the Sydney Mail (page 31) and concerns the NSW Track and Field Titles. It reads, with the typical anti-walking bias of the time The 1924 Olympian E. Austen (Western Suburbs) defended his title in the three miles walk, which went to A. Stubbs, of Eastern Suburbs. While at some time or other every competitor transgressed the rule of walking, W. Clark (Randwick-Kensington), who finished second, was the only one to be disqualified. The winner's time was 22 min 40s. He first came to prominence at the 1933-1934 Australian Track and Field season. In the Australian 3 Mile walk, held in Adelaide in January 1934, he placed second to William Marston of Victoria. Two days later, in the Australian 1 Mile walk, he looked set to go one better. After trailing Marston (Victoria) and Cocks (SA) in the first lap, he built up a commanding lead in the second lap, only to be disqualified in the third lap. Although this enabled Marston to take the double, it heralded the rise of a new champion onto the National scene. (This disqualification was a severe blow to NSW who had hoped to win the prestigious Coombes Shield at these titles.

This includes an athlete s extended family and caretakers, individuals who are significant to that athlete. Parent or sibling involvement is a key factor that motivates and enables athletes to play sports outside of their formal practices with the coach. Athletes and family members frequently say that they enjoy Special Olympics because it helps teach skills that enable athletes and their families to enjoy sports together in community sports programs as well as Special Olympics. The Home Training Guide provides tips and activities for athletes and families to follow BETWEEN organized Special Olympics practices. Guidelines for Family Home Training A consistent and dependable training routine provides familiarity and stability. Schedule training sessions into the daily routine. Set specific times for workouts during the week. Coaches should communicate with the families periodically throughout the training season. Provide assistance whenever possible.

    Volume 28, Number 4 Club #229 Volume 27, Number 8 April 2009 StrideRightwww.floridastriders.com August 2008 A Special Thanks to River Run Volunteers By Stan Scarlett I would like to thank all the volunteers that made the Florida Strider 2009 Hospitality Tent a huge success. We solved several problems that popped up last year and have a few things to work on for next year. When I arrived at 6:00 am, I saw that the gates had been opened before I got there. Thanks to General Mike Mayse and everyone else that beat me there, they were well under way to getting things ready. What amazes me every year, is that our volunteers just step forward and start getting things done. When they finish one job, they say, “What needs to be done next?” I tried to delegate more and set up area Managers this year. I think it went well. It was great to have the Amelia Island Runners Track Club (AIR) with us this year. I hope you had a chance to meet and socialize with them. I’ll go into more depth later, about our plans for next year to improve our Tent event. Right now, I need to recognize our “TENT HOGS”!
