For the firsttime the Almanac is produced solely as a digital copy. The rankings database continues to grow and now contains over 71, 700 performances by 3642 athletes. Major work in the past twelve has resulted in us being able to finalise the records lists. The website itself underwent a “refresh”, resulting in a new look. Again for this edition we have collected most of the data ourselves over the past few months – so we take responsibility for any errors. Once again, before getting immersed in the content, we would advise you to spend a few minutes reading the Notes section which details some of the intricacies of the data. Stephen Hollings Simon Holroyd January 2017 Acknowledgements We are grateful to the following colleagues and associates who provided content and their expertise to sections of this almanac: Janiene Newman of PIXL Desktop Publishing, undertook the typesetting and layout of the Almanac. Rod Syme and Murray McKinnon, as members of the Records Advisory Group, provided advice and counsel on the ratifying of records. NOTES 2016 Calendar Year – The material in this Almanac covers the 2016 Calendar year which is from 1st January 2016 until 31st December 2016. Age Groups – New Zealand had three age groups in 2016. They were: Youth Men/Women, Junior Men/Women, Senior Men/Women. These were the same as the IAAF definition. (see table below) Names – We have used the convention that the athletes name as recorded on the Athletics New Zealand membership database is the name of the athlete that we record in our statistics. Names of athletes on the Athletics New Zealand membership database are sometimes at variance with the name used when entering a competition. Some athletes interchange abbreviated names and differently spelt first names across competitions. Further, many athletes names on registration become abbreviated or differently spelt when they enter a competition. We have endeavoured to be consistent but in many instances the athlete themselves prefer to be known by either name – depending on the circumstances (and their mood!). Name Change – Some athletes do change their family name due to specific circumstances e.g. marriage. Again we use the same convention as above – the family name they are using in the entry list or results of a competition. As far as we are aware the only athletes who have different family names in different parts of this Almanac are: Valerie Adams – Valerie Vili Angela Petty – Angela Smit Tania Murray – Tania Murray-Dixon Fiona Centers – Fiona Hely Demelza Murrihy – Demelza Murrihy-Topp Rowan Torckler – Rowan Baird Danielle Trevis – Danielle Ingram-Trevis Lucy van Dalen – Lucy Oliver Lesley Morton – Lesley Ryan Bryn Jones – Bryn McLeod-Jones Leonora Joy-Petrina – Leonora Petrina Jordan de Spong – Jordan Rackham Athletics New Zealand - Almanac 2016 2 Affiliation - Again we have used the convention that the athlete’s affiliation is the one under which they are registered on the Athletics New Zealand membership database. We are reliant on athletes informing us of a change of affiliation (Centre/ Club). For records, an athlete may be representing their club, their Centre, or has been selected to represent New Zealand. Whichever representation is officially recorded at the time of the competition where a record is set is the one that we use. Ranking Lists – Age group athletes’ performances (Junior Men/Women, Youth Men/Women) will also appear in the Open Men/Women lists if the event specification (implement weight/ hurdle height) of the age group is the same as that of the specification for Senior Men/Women. Youth Men/Women athletes will not appear additionally in the Junior men/ Women lists unless they compete with Junior Men/Women implements/hurdle heights. All-Time Lists – The All-time lists were first compiled in early 2010 and listed the top 20 All-time performances. Since that time, there have been performances that would fit into the top 20 All-time. Hence some of the lists are longer than 20 athlete’s performances. Only athletes who were eligible to represent New Zealand internationally at the time of the performance are included in the All-time lists. (see note re Tori Owers) Age Records – Eligibility for a New Zealand Age Record is different from eligibility for competing in an Age Group. Age Records are adjudged on the age of the athlete on the day of the performance. Registered Athletes – Only performances achieved by athletes who are members of Athletics New Zealand appear on Ranking Lists. Some school athletes, Children’s Association athletes, Masters/Veteran athletes are not members of Athletics New Zealand. Placing in a competition – Because of the many different ways results are presented it is
