THE VETERAN ATHLETE ACT VAC: Rosemary Parker, P.O Records crash in NSW State Titles Fred Turner hits top form with 200/400 metres double and Fred O’Connor grabs nine gold medals. NSW athletes have set a cracking pace for the national championships and the World Games later this year. The State championships in Sydney over the weekend of March 21-22 yielded no fewer than 46 records — yet to be ratified — and some excellent performances from both men and women. They were also timely, in that they coincided with the centenary year of the NSW Amateur Athletic Association and were marked by a record number of entries. Officials estimate that the total entries were up by at least 100 on the previous best figure. An appreciative crowd at Sydney Athletic Field lent its support as new marks were set throughout the two days in warm, sunny weather marred only by a stiff breeze at one stage which troubled the sprinters in the home straight. The championships ran like clockwork and gave officials — many of whom were recruited at the last minute because NSWAAA officials were busy elsewhere — a golden opportunity to rehearse their skills for the Sydney-based Nation^ Champ­ ionships over the Easter weekend. Many of the athletes seem to feel the new spirit of determin­ ation which marked these championships and performed accord­ ingly. Midway through the second day the 800-metre men appeared to have a mortgage on fast times and three State records toppled in quick succession. Paul Critchley set the pattern by smashing the State record for M45 with a time of 2min 0 .10s, carving a massive 8s off the existing record and just 1.60s outside the Australian record. Then Bryan Dean (M55) lowered the old mark of 2:18.60 with a splendid 2:14.67. Finally, Ron Gribble raced to a third State record in the MSO category by clocking 2:14.69 to clip 4.81s off the old mark. One of the more outstanding performances came from Fred Turner, the former 100 and 200m champion, who made a great Despite a troublesome hamstring injury, Fred Turner takes out the Gold Medal in the M45 400 metres in 52.42 at comeback to 400m running in the M45 category. the 1987 NSW State Titles in Sydney.

    CLUB KIWIFRUIT FUND RAISING PICK As reported in Ramblings newsletter, 6th June, 1992. The annual Shallcross kiwifruit pick was once again offered to Tauranga Ramblers to give our funds a much needed boost so that we can subsidise club days, Bar-B-Q’s, Pinto, buses, newsletters and travel to major events. All in all club members receive more than their subscriptions cover, therefore we need full support from all participants for our fund-raising efforts. The club is very appreciative of the chances to earn this money and a special thanks go to Bill and Marge Shallcross for this fruit picking opportunity. It certainly beats selling raffle tickets and gives us the chance to do something other than one’s usual job or studies. It is quite an education especially the way different people see the hairy berries – their shapes and sizes I’ll leave to your imagination. Colin Clifton commented that it was a change from working alone. Teresa Coston was certainly the noisiest and Kristin McLoughlin one of the quietest, but it was good to see everyone turn out. Some brought their spouses, or sons and daughters. Robyn Bint did a great job removing all the kiwifruit stalks. Marge did a great job of keeping the team fed, while Nigel Hines had done an absolutely fantastic job chasing along all members he could find. Over the two days we picked 162 bins compared to 166 last year. Unfortunately we couldn’t quite finish but Ramblers received $1400.00 for the two day’s work. Once again special thanks to Bill, Marge, Debbie, Russell, Rob Shallcross and his in-laws and to Nigel and Sheryl Hines for their organisation.

In school, he ran and boxed, but was most interested in rugby football. Because of the Great Depression of the 1920’s, Lydiard dropped out of school at 16 to work in a shoe factoryc. Lydiard figured he was pretty fit until Jack Dolan, president of the Lynndale Athletic Club in Auckland and an old man compared to Lydiard, took him on a five-mile training jog. Lydiard was completely exhausted and was forced to rethink his concept of fitness. He wondered what he would feel like at 47, if at 27 he was exhausted by a five-mile run. Lydiard began training according to the methods of the time, but this only confused him further. At the club library he found a book by F.W. Webster called “The Science of Athletics.” But Lydiard soon decided that the schedules offered by Webster were being too easy on him, so he began experimenting to find out how fit he could get.

  • Lesson Plans Introduction the Following Section Provides Twenty-Seven Ready-To-Implement Lesson Plans for Teachers
    Lesson Plans Introduction The following section provides twenty-seven ready-to-implement lesson plans for teachers. The section is divided into four smaller sub-sections. • Early Stage 1 (5 year olds) • Stage 1 (6/7 year olds) • Stage 2 (8/9 year olds) • Stage 3 (10 years and LAANSWabove) ASAP Level 3 Each sub-section contains lesson plans suitable for children in these age groups. The lesson plans assume classes of up to thirty students and a time limit of 30-45 minutes, however a teacher can adapt the ideas to suit their particular circumstances. Each lesson plan generally follows the same format, being: Aim; Equipment; Warm Up; Skill Development; Games. In relevant places, topics such as safety aspects and various hints that will help the teacher organise and conduct a successful lesson are included. The lesson plans at times assume prior learning, ie. that the children have participated in the skill development activities contained in preceding lessons designed for the earlier levels. The activities featured in the lesson plans are based on fun, skill development, maximum group participation and a sound, logical progression. The lesson plans form the foundation of a class athletics unit. 3 29 Early Stage 1 Lesson Plans • Running - Lesson 1 - Lesson 2 • Jumping - Lesson 1 - LessonLAANSW 2 ASAP Level 3 • Throwing - Lesson 1 - Lesson 2 30 Early Stage 1 Running Lesson Plan Lesson 1 Introduction to basic running technique Introduction to relays Ground markers x 30 Relay batons x 5 Warm Up 1.

  • Origins of Canadian Olympic Weightlifting
    1 Page # June 30, 2011. ORIGINS OF CANADIAN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING INTRODUCTION The author does not pretend to have written everything about the history of Olympic weightlifting in Canada since Canadian Weightlifting has only one weightlifting magazine to refer to and it is from the Province of Québec “Coup d’oeil sur l’Haltérophilie”, it is understandable that a great number of the articles are about the Quebecers. The researcher is ready to make any modification to this document when it is supported by facts of historical value to Canadian Weightlifting. (Ce document est aussi disponible en langue française) The early history of this sport is not well documented, but weightlifting is known to be of ancient origin. According to legend, Egyptian and Chinese athletes demonstrated their strength by lifting heavy objects nearly 5,000 years ago. During the era of the ancient Olympic Games a Greek athlete of the 6th century BC, Milo of Crotona, gained fame for feats of strength, including the act of lifting an ox onto his shoulders and carrying it the full length of the stadium at Olympia, a distance of more than 200 meters. For centuries, men have been interested in strength, while also seeking athletic perfection. Early strength competitions, where Greek athletes lifted bulls or where Swiss mountaineers shouldered and tossed huge boulders, gave little satisfaction to those individuals who wished to demonstrate their athletic ability. During the centuries that followed, the sport continued to be practiced in many parts of the world. Weightlifting in the early 1900s saw the development of odd-shaped dumbbells and kettle bells which required a great deal of skill to lift, but were not designed to enable the body’s muscles to be used efficiently.

  • A Short History of St Martins Athletic & Harrier Club
    A Short History of St Martins Athletic & Harrier Club Foreword The year 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the founding of the St Martins Athletic and Harrier Club. This brief history has been prepared to mark the occasion, for although St Martins no longer exists as such, it continues in the form of its successor, Port Hills Athletic, formed when St Martins merged with Cashmere Hillmorton in 2002. In preparing this history, it became evident that besides the names of those mentioned herein, the history of running and track and field in St Martins has been one of countless numbers of people taking up the sport and then enthusiastically giving of their time and energy. Many of those are still with the sport, even more have ‘moved on’ for various reasons, whether it be that their children grew up, they moved to somewhere else, they were no longer able to compete because of age or disability and so on. Be that as it may this history is therefore a salute to all those who have so generously given to the sport in so many ways over fifty years. Thank you to John Dumergue, Kevin Jago, Graham White, Les Woods who provided feedback on the preliminary version. ~ Stuart Payne August 2015 1 Contents Beginnings page 3 Club growth 6 Children’s athletics 19 Flagship and other events 22 Clubrooms 24 Club newsletter 27 Social activities 30 Governance 32 Umbrella club participation 35 Amalgamation 36 Some high-profile achievements 37 Conclusion 39 Appendices - A.
