2015 WORLD MASTERS ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS

Congratulations to all Sydney Pacific’s Athletes who competed at these Championships from 4-16 August 2015 that were held in Lyon, France. Outstanding and PB performances!

‘Delaney spells Double Trouble’1

An ecstatic Janelle Delaney (below left) took out the 200m/400m double in the Women’s 45+ Age Division at the World Masters Championships.

Australian Team manager Janet Naylon said the Sydney Pacific endurance sprinter ran an “awesome race’’ to take out the 200m in NSW record time which made her an odds-on favourite to win her main event the 400m.

Running in very hot conditions, described by Naylon as “crazy’’, Delaney blitzed her opposition in the 400m in 57.37 to easily beat American Emmanuelle McGowan by almost two seconds and Spain’s Esther Colas.

Lenore Lambert (above right, and below with her Sydney Pacific Coach Tony Morphis) Bronze Medal winner in the 45+ Division Heptathlon, went one better in the 400m hurdles, taking Silver.

She further added to her tally with a Bronze in the long jump. And with a bit of luck it could have been another Bronze. Lenore finished 4th in the high jump, jumping the same height (1.48m) as the third place-getter, but was relegated to fourth on a countback. Lenore also finished 7th in the 80m hurdles.

Janelle and Lenore won Gold as members of the 45+ Division Australian Women’s 4x400m relay team.

SYDNEY PACIFIC’S 2014-15 FEE STRUCTURE AND REGISTRATION

Athletics NSW (ANSW) registrations are now open for the 2015-16 season. In August 2015 ANSW transferred to a new IMG database version for member registration. The benefits to members include simplified log-ins and personalised result portals. You may, however, find that you need to create a new profile as only active members from the previous two seasons were moved into the new system.
