Hall of Fame 1 INTRODUCTION The scottishathletics Hall of Fame was launched at the Track and Field Championships in August 2005. Olympic gold medallists Allan Wells and Eric Liddell were the inaugural inductees to the scottishathletics Hall of Fame. Wells, the 1980 Olympic 100 metres gold medallist, was there in person to accept the award, as was Patricia Russell, the daughter of Liddell, whose triumph in the 400 metres at the 1924 Olympic Games was an inspiration behind the Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire. The legendary duo were nominated by a specially-appointed panel consisting of Andy Vince, Joan Watt and Bill Walker of scottishathletics, Mark Hollinshead, Managing Director of Sunday Mail and an on-line poll conducted via the scottishathletics website. The on-line poll resulted in the following votes: 31% voting for Allan Wells, 24% for Eric Liddell and 19% for Liz McColgan. Liz was inducted into the Hall of Fame the following year, along with the Olympic gold medallist Wyndham Halswelle.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

    NUTS NOTES Vol. 18 No.3 June 1980 Editor: Tim Lynch-Staunton, Meadowbank, Eydens Avenue, Walton-on-Thamee, Surrey KT12 3 JP. This is the third issue of NUTS NOTES to go on sale to the general public* For the last twenty or so years it has been available to members of the NUTS on a quarterly basis, thanks mainly to the untiring efforts of Andrew Huxtable, who was editor for many years until last year. We hope this issue will be of interest to athletics fans, in particular those who like athletics' statistics, although it will not in future be entirely a statistical newsletter, and will encourage those who compile lists and other data for their own amusement to submit compilations for consideration for inclusion in future issues. T.L-S. BRITISH BEST PERFORMANCES OF ALL-TIME - 10 MILES (ROAD) One of the most frequently contested yet least documented distance events is the 10 miles. So far as I am aware, no one has previously attempted to produce an all- time list for road performances. There are, of course, certain inherent problems. It's an event which, like the marathon, is subject to considerable variation in the severity of courses; and it is sometimes difficult to establish for sure the accuracy of distance for races advertised as being at 10 miles. But there are several very good reasons for establishing a statistical record of the event. First, almost all top-class distance-runners contest it during their career. Second, it brings together trackmen, cross-country runners and marathoners. Third, it has also produced a significant number of performers who have not achieved major recognition in other events.

This is not surprising because we arefed aconstant diet of these four games by the various elements of the sports media. The improving sports book industry is also dominated by publications devoted to the big four. Other than Kieran Shannon’s recent Hanging from the Rafters,there are very few sports books that examine the social dimension behind the facts of sport. TheAmericans have led the way in true sports history. These writers not only produce the facts of their topic but explain them in the context of their time. A new book, Gold, Silver and Green: TheIrish Olympic Journey 1896 to 1924 by Kevin McCarthy was published by Cork University Press last week. It is a book thatcan sit comfortably on the history as well as the sports bookshelf. This book ex- amines the stories and circumstance of over 75 Olympic medals which werewon by Irish-bornathletes in the Olympics prior to 1924. The num- ber is even greater when you in- clude those of Irish parents who were born abroad.

  • Hamilton Athlete Biography: William D. Sherring Leesha Deweerd and Krista Hoftyzer PED 201 Professor John Byl Redeemer Universit
    Hamilton Athlete Biography: William D. Sherring Leesha deWeerd and Krista Hoftyzer PED 201 Professor John Byl Redeemer University College Friday April 9, 2010 As a diverse and cultured country, Canada has produced many phenomenal and successful athletes in the past and present. Athletics is not a new concept to Canadians, as citizens have been participating since its beginnings. Hamilton has long since been a hot spot for producing elite athletes. Among these athletes is William (Billy) Sherring, an Olympic marathon runner. Throughout his lifetime in the 1900’s, Billy participated in many events including the Olympics, the Boston marathon, and Hamilton’s renowned Around-the-Bay road race. Born September 18, 1877 in Hamilton, Ontario, William (Billy) D. Sherring’s roots are tightly linked with the Hamilton area. 1 Billy began his running career at a young age with the Y.M.C.A. Boy’s Club. With a small body frame and weighing only 98 pounds, Sherring quickly shone in his sport. He started competing in his early teen years at various county fairs. At the age of twenty, Sherring achieved his first major success. In a great athletic display, Billy defeated his opponents in a race at Bartonville in 1897. 2 Bartonville was only the beginning of Sherring’s many eminent successes. Two years later, at the age of 21, Billy Sherring won his first of two Around-the-Bay marathons. This marathon began on Christmas Day in 1984 and is the oldest road race in North America. 3 Sherring was not without competition in this marathon. One of his constant and closest competitors was Jack Caffery.
