Acknowledgements Athletics Tasmania acknowledges the ongoing efforts and commitment made by its officials, coaches, volunteers and administrators. Our sport could not be successful without their contribution. Also we would like to acknowledge the efforts of our athletes and assure them that we will make every effort to give them the best support and competition that we can in the coming year.

Special recognition must go to our Government Partner the Tasmanian Government, whose financial contribution to our organisation is most welcome through Communities, Sport and Recreation Tasmania.

Our parent body, Athletics Australia, often in partnership with the Australian Sports Commission, also supported us in 2017/18 – including national insurance, state performance programs along with coaching education support.

The major sponsors of the Tasmanian Marathon Festival, Cadbury, along with many other sponsors and supporters, helped us deliver the thirty fifth edition of this continually growing event.

Proper National Pies were our major sponsor of the Tasmanian All Schools Cross Country competition. These events are growing in popularity and we thank them for the support in 2017/18.

We thank all our sponsors and supporters for their generous assistance:

The media has continued to be most generous in the interest shown and the coverage given to our sport, our athletes and events across the state. We thank the many individuals and organisations who have supported us in this regard over the period of this report.

President’s and Board Report 2017-18 The primary focus of the Board in 2017-18 has been the development and publication of the 2018-2021 Strategic Plan. This represents the culmination of many months of consultation and work by the planning committee and the Board, with significant input from Communities, Sport & Recreation. As part of this work we examined our organisational values and established a set of behaviours that we will hold ourselves accountable to whether as athletes, coaches, officials or staff. The values are a useful tool to assist all members of our athletics family to understand what is expected of them, and what they can expect from others.

The Strategic Plan sets down strategic goals for the organisation and will guide us in deciding where to best utilise our precious resources. Within our six strategic pillars we have identified practical actions for the organisation to take over the next three years to support and expand our membership, increase our sustainability and incorporate good governance and financial practices. The Strategic Plan is a living document and as our circumstances change it may be necessary to update or alter our direction to ensure we are adapting to our environment. Input from members is vital to this and I encourage members to take a look at the plan and contact the Board with any questions.

I can report that the Board met five times since the 2017 AGM.

The Membership Fees working group undertook a review of the membership and fee model, taking into consideration the requirements of clubs and branches across the state, as well as the financial goals of Athletics Tasmania. The working group developed a new model that better represented the needs of the organisation today. The model was subsequently approved by the Board in November 2017. It was a pleasure to see a cross-section of the membership working together to solve a problem.

I thank Little Athletics Tasmania for their willingness to take part in our Strategic Planning and Membership Fees forums.

We trialed a new fast format of competition called ATLAS. A small committee gave many hours to deliver three exciting evenings of athletics and feedback from spectators was overwhelmingly positive. Thank you to all involved, whether organising or competing. We look forward to further developing this concept in the coming year.

Founded 1902 | Incorporated 1981 10 | P a g e

We signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Orienteering Tasmania to cross-promote our sports during the 2018-19 winter season. We will continue to seek opportunities for cross- promotion to grow awareness that athletics is a foundation for other sports.

Work was undertaken to improve our facilities for members and external hirers, to increase our ability to generate revenue from our facilities. Our new bar area and the Tin Shed improvements have contributed positively to our bottom line as well as providing an improved experience for our users. Thanks to Gabby Steele for driving these improvements.

I would like to thank my fellow Board members Alec, Cameron, Darren, and Paul for their support and hard work and for re-appointing me as Chair. We welcomed Alec Eiszele onto the Board in May 2018 to fill the position left vacant by Mike Gunson in 2017.

I would also like to thank Executive Officer Gabby Steele, Hannah Ibbott and Alinta Browne for their tireless work in maintaining a professional office for our members, sometimes under very trying conditions beyond our control.

Thank you, and congratulations to all of our members, coaches, officials, team managers, and volunteers for a successful competition season.

Executive Officer’s Report 2017-18

It is with pleasure that I write the Executive Officer’s report for the 2017/18 season, knowing that the momentum from the previous year has continued, with a busy and productive period for Athletics Tasmania. The development and implementation of the Strategic Plan, along with ongoing operational improvements, moves the organisation towards best practice; this is the benchmark we set ourselves and one towards which we will continually strive.

I would like to welcome Alinta Browne, who is working casual hours in the Athletics Tasmania office. Alinta has a background in office administration, and is a welcome addition and valued contributor to the organisation. Hannah Ibbott continues to provide exemplary customer service to all our key stakeholders. The Athletics Tasmania office is unique in how it needs to operate and the staff have shown themselves to be adaptive and prepared to learn across a range of areas.

Through the Major State Grant program from Communities, Sport and Recreation, Athletics Tasmania receive significant funding assistance to conduct our business. From a governance perspective, we saw the development of position descriptions and the outlining of key volunteer roles, the development and implementation of a social media policy and the creation of procedure manuals for the office and key events.

Communication, marketing and promotion have been a key focus. Through our social media platforms we are growing our following and increasing Athletics Tasmania’s branding and presence. There is now consistent branding in all that we do and this is most evident in our carefully considered Tasmanian state team apparel, which has become a positive talking point not only at home but amongst our fellow member associations. Our intention in the future is to expand the selection of key items available to our wider membership. The work of Dominic Anastasio as Social Media Coordinator has been outstanding, bringing professionalism, care, autonomy and objectivity to the role. He cares about his sport and is providing excellent leadership in increasing its profile. Thanks must also be given to the Social Media Team of volunteers who assist Dom throughout the year.

A long-term coaching calendar with upcoming courses has been made available on the Athletics Tasmania website driven by Blair Taylor from Athletics Australia. This promotion and ready availability has assisted in having 32 Level 1 coaches accredited during the last year. The opportunity for coaches to progress to the next level course was on offer, which saw several

Founded 1902 | Incorporated 1981 12 | P a g e

coaches increase their skill base. There certainly seems to be an appetite for skill development in the Recreational Running space, with 19 coaches gaining their accreditation. There were also 23 people who completed the IAAF Kids’ Athletics (Sporting Schools) upskilling course online. Athletics Tasmania has 8 senior coaches on the Athletics Australia mentor list, who have access to resources and opportunities to progress their knowledge. These coaches are an asset to the sport in Tasmania and are mentors to our developing coaches. Professional development within the coaching framework is an essential part of what we must do – the sharing of knowledge and skills is a crucial aspect of the development of our athletes and the growth of our coaches. Our coaching fraternity must work constructively and positively together for the good of the sport.

Athletics Tasmania was pleased to introduce a new Talent Identification Program (TID) developed by our organisation and aimed at identifying young athletes who may be aiming for, or have the potential for, national and international under-age representative selection in the future. For the first time Athletics Tasmania extended the invitation to promising athletes from Little Athletics, creating opportunities to progress in the sport, and offering exposure to specialised coaching. The squad comprised of 27 athletes, who were selected based on their top 12 results at the National Age Championships, and representation at the Australian Little Athletics Championships in 2017. A big thank you to Yvette Edward who administered and delivered this successful program in a professional manner. Special mention must be given to Susan Andrews (TIS) for her ongoing guidance with our programs, to the coaches and to members of the Little Athletics Tasmania Board for your support. We look forward to rolling out this program again in 2018.

There are key personnel that oversee and maintain Athletics Tasmania’s membership, rankings and results, records, state selection, state teams and events and competitions; they take on these responsibilities as volunteers and deliver operational services that keep the organisation functioning. I wish to acknowledge their positive contribution and appreciate their support.

I wish to thank the Athletics Tasmania Board for their support and look forwarding to continuing the positive work we have undertaken thus far and working with them to implement our Strategic Plan over the next twelve months.

All indicators demonstrate that Athletics Tasmania is leading our sport in a positive direction. If we understand our roles and responsibilities at Club and Branch level and are passionate and genuine in the delivery of our sport, it will sell itself – the opportunities for positive engagement in all aspects of our sport will contribute to our desire for growth and the promotion of a positive culture and environment. They say it takes a community to raise a child and the same philosophy

could be applied to athletics in Tasmania; for those who participate and for those involved in our sport should want to contribute to making ours a sport of choice.

Athletics South Report 2017-18

It is pleasing to report that Athletics South has enjoyed another successful year, with steady participation for both Cross Country and Track and Field. Cross Country and the various fun runs continue to attract family and community interest and support.

Congratulations to:

 Athletes achieving one or more personal best performances,  Athletes gaining State and/or National selection,  Coaches, for your continued encouragement and development of your athletes,  Officials and helpers who ensure weekly interclub/cross country and other meets are conducted successfully for participating athletes.

The past year has been an outstanding one for our elite athletes, with many gaining State and/or National selection. At the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast our premier athlete, Hamish Peacock, earned a Silver Medal in the Javelin Event, adding to his bronze medal of four years earlier. Congratulations Hamish, a great reward for your years of dedication and hard work.

Board members have worked tirelessly to provide athletes with every opportunity, using the best equipment available. This year Athletics South purchased new Pole Vault equipment, and this equipment was well received by our Pole Vaulters. Next to be purchased is Cross Country timing equipment to increase timing efficiency.

Thank you to all Board Members for your dedication, support and enthusiasm.

To all Officials and helpers, thank you for your valuable support throughout the year. Your contribution has ensured that our athletes can enjoy their athletics.

To all sponsors, we thank you for your support. Our Track and Field sponsor, Bennett’s Petroleum; our Cross Country gold sponsor, the Running Edge, thank you both for your ongoing support to athletics in Southern Tasmania. Thank you to our bronze sponsor, RSM Insurance Brokers, and to the Hobart City Council for providing a national standard facility. Without all sponsors, our athletes would not have the opportunity to compete weekly at an excellent venue with quality equipment.

We were all saddened this year with the passing of coach, official and Athletics South Life Member, Rex Morriss. Rex’s contribution over many, many years has been significant to his club, Sandy Bay, Athletics South, his fellow officials, and of course his many athletes. RIP Rex.

There remains the urgent need for new helpers and officials to assist in the smooth running of weekly events. Please consider, training will be provided to all new helpers and officials.

Northern Tasmanian Athletics Inc Report 2017-18 It is my privilege to present the 1st Annual Report of Northern Tasmanian Athletics Inc.

2017/18 has been a season of change with the amalgamation of the former Northern Branch Athletics Association of Tasmania and the Northern Athletics Centre Board. Certainly the transition to one body has been as seamless as possible and that is all thanks to all the hard work of the committee who put in many hours behind the scenes. To the Executive of Wim Vaessen, Sandra Speers & Mark Smith, Technical Director Shane Wagner and our delegates Kay Knee, Brian James, Laura Downie and Tracy Canham, I thank you for all your hard work in our inaugural year. A special thanks to Brian Roe who put a lot of work into constructing our Constitution in readiness for the amalgamation.

This year after 19 years, we have finally seen the resurfacing of the track. To say it was long overdue is an understatement and we are very happy with how the new track looks and has performed in its inaugural season. We are very fortunate in Launceston to have a regional facility to the standard that we have. This is something we should not take for granted and the committee is committed to continually looking at ways we can improve the experience at the venue for athletes and spectators alike. To do this we need to continually work closely with the Launceston City Council to ensure the facility is maintained to a high standard which enables us to attract events to the venue when the opportunity arises. We also need to put a plan in place for years to come on what priorities we have at the track and what developments we would like to see in the short to long term. Hence why the new committee will look at putting together a 5 year capital expenditure budget.

With the track back in full service this season we saw an increase in our bookings, which is an area we wish to continue to grow as this is our main stream of revenue both through the hire fees and the canteen. As I have mentioned we have a wonderful facility available for the residents of Launceston to utilise and we should be promoting this fact, even if it means we need to think outside the square to attract users. Next season will also see a new fee structure for our hirers, which will also coincide with a booking system for the venue. We feel the fee structure will be less complicated and the booking system will streamline the booking process for users and our own booking officer.

On the competition side of things numbers were ok but we are determined to increase the competing numbers in the north of the State. We have had some good initiatives in place in recent times to try and attract the younger generation to the sport and this has had some positive

Founded 1902 | Incorporated 1981 17 | P a g e

results but we need to continue to strive to come up with new ideas to boost our numbers. This is not just an issue in the north but across the State and we should be working with Athletics Tasmania to address this issue and more including rotating state events between the north and the south and also possible combining of State events to relieve the travel and time burden on athletes, officials and administrators.

It is also important on a local front that there are open lines of communication between the Board, Clubs and our Associate Members. This will enable us all to be on the same page and for ideas to be shared around. So if you have any ideas that you feel could help the Board make positive improvements, please don’t be hesitant in putting your ideas forward. Progress can only be made if we are all moving in the same direction.

Looking forward we are currently working with the Launceston City Council to secure the Special Olympics in 2022. If successful it also means we will host the Trans Tasman Special Olympics in 2020. Events such as this will be important for the continued improvement of the facility with Local, State and Federal grants becoming more attainable.

The School Knockouts is also set to return this season but in a new format. Details are still being finalised and an announcement should be made soon. It will be a fast paced action packed event which we are hopeful of getting a good response from the schools.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the hard working committee of the NTA, you all do a fantastic job and please know it is very much appreciated by myself. I would also like to congratulate our very own Sandra Speers for her recent representation at the Commonwealth Games. We are very fortunate to have someone with Sandra’s skill set involved in athletics in the north. Well done on a fantastic achievement.

North West Athletic Club Report 2017-2018 It is with pleasure that I present this report for the North West Athletic Club 2017 – 18 athletic season. Success factors for the season saw the staging of the athletics component of the 2017 Australian Masters Games with nearly 400 competitors arriving from all around Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Canada, India and Africa to compete in Track and Field and OOS events. I wish to thank the partnerships bodies namely the Professional Cross Country Club and Burnie 10 committee for assistance in the running of the Half Marathon and 10km Road Race. Once again the NWAC were given the opportunity to host the State 3000m, Combined Events and some Relays and saw a moderate number of athletes compete. Hopefully in the future these fields will increase with AT and the Events Commission looking at incentives and encouragement for athletes to compete at Penguin. Congratulations to all athletes on their achievements throughout the season and especially those that competed at State and National level and also our Junior athletes that competed at the Australian Little Athletics Championships and National Age Championships. Congratulations to the following athletes for their Athlete of the Year Awards:

 Morgan Gaffney – Female Sprinter  Deon Kenzie – Para Athlete  Charli Kay – Female U14 Merging Talent  Tom Winkel – Male U14 Merging Talent

With the implementation of our equipment replacement program last season the NWAC has been able to upgrade Hurdles, High Jump Mats and Field Equipment for this season and with the continuation of the program equipment will be upgraded as required on a yearly bases. Personally I would like to thank the Committee, Officials, Athletes and Parents for their professionalism and continued support of the NWAC throughout the year. There is still the need for extra assistance and officials to help run our competitions. Training opportunities will be provided for new people.

Tasmanian Athletic League Report 2017-18 It is with pleasure that I present the Annual Report for the Tasmanian Athletic League Inc. for season 2017-2018.

Again this season we had Carnivals in all areas of the State. These were conducted by the following clubs:- Hobart Athletic Club, Professional Cross Country Club Tasmania, Central Coast Carnival with the assistance of the League, Latrobe Bicycle Race Club, Burnie Athletic Club, Devonport Athletic Club, Rosebery Athletic Club, St Helens Athletic Club and the Launceston Carnival Committee. The season started in the middle of November and concluded in January at the St Helens Carnival where we presented our Annual Awards.

We are extremely lucky to have a small but hard working committee that keeps the administration side of the Carnival Series working. We take the entries and do the handicapping for the Clubs for each Carnival. With the assistance of Phil Clayton and the North West Athletic Club they travel the state doing the timing for all the Athletic Events at the Carnivals. This assists the clubs with not having to have the amount of Officials they would normally need.

This season at some of the Carnivals we trialled open races for men and women combined. They were well supported and hopefully we can continue to grow this area. Another area that is growing is our Masters. With the support of the Clubs, hopefully we can have additional events for them in the coming season.

The Nu Gen Series is growing in numbers. We are hopeful that more clubs will come on board with this so that the athletes can have a greater appreciation of handicap running and that they will then continue on into the future of the Christmas Carnival Series.

With the support of the Sports Carnival Association of Tasmania and the work that Epic do in bringing National and International competitors to our series we are forever grateful.

It is hoped that we can encourage more local participation in the Series as this is a good form of training for the athletes especially over the Christmas New Year period when the domestic season has a small break.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every member of the Council who work tirelessly to make the Carnival Series what it is today.

Tasmanian Masters Association Report 2017-18 We can report on another successful year for Tasmanian Masters Athletics. Membership totalled 266 in 2017/18 slightly down from 275 in 2016/17. The membership split by region is South – 209, North – 38, North West – 17, Mainland – 2. The gender split is Male 170 and Female 96. Not only was membership high but participation was also strong.

The Track and Field season proved to be highly successful. TMA’s Northern Branch once again combined with the NBAAT to conduct joint meetings. TMA also combined with Athletics South for Interclub 3000m or 5000m on a Wednesday night during the Summer Season. These distance events attracted large numbers of participants. Many TMA members also represent an Athletics Tasmania affiliated club in Track & Field competition. Integrated meets are likely to continue as common practice in all three regions of the State into the future.

The pinnacle of the Track and Field Season was the State Championships where a record 79 Masters athletes took part. These Championships were again held in collaboration with Athletics Tasmania. The Graeme Cruise Award for the best age-graded performance in the State Championships was won for the fifth time by Janet Upcher (W71) with another world class percentage of 92.15% in the 5000m. The Female Masters Athlete of the Championships was awarded to Nicole Perry (W31) for her wins in the Open 400m and 800m. The Male Masters Athlete of the Championships was won by Paul Tucker (M55) for his wins in the M55-59, 200m, 400m and 800m with all performances in the 80% range. TMA’s Northern Branch conducted the Track & Field Pentathlon Championships at St Leonards in November 2017 with nine keen and versatile athletes taking part. Cathy McKeown (W48) was the stand-out performer with 2779 points.

There were some real Track and Field highlights during the past year. Cathy McKeown (W48) participated in AMA Championships in both Darwin and Perth where she competed in numerous individual events as well as both the Track and Field and Throws Pentathlons. She came home with a medal haul from both Championships. Geoff Gibbons (M41) competed in the Icosathlon at the World Ultra Multi Events Championships in Belgium. The Icosathlon consists of 20 events over two days and concludes with a 10,000m on the track. Geoff won the M40-44 category and was second overall of all age groups. Geoff was also successful in winning the annual AMA Multi Events Award and was runner-up in the World Masters Athletics Combined Events Award. Two Australian Masters age group relay records were set by TMA members in January 2018; one in the W30-34, 4 x 400m and the other in the M30-34, 4 x 1500m.

Competition for the annual TMA Awards as always was very keen with strong contenders in all categories. The winners were: Female Athlete of the Year – Cathy McKeown (W48); Male Athlete of the Year – Todd Davey (M51); Sprints/Hurdles Athlete of the Year – Sharee Maksimovic (W52); Middle Distance/Steeple Athlete of the Year – Nicole Perry (W31); Distance Athlete of the Year – Mick Davis (M48); Jumps/Multi Events Athlete of the Year – Cathy McKeown (W48); Throws Athlete of the Year – Todd Davey (M51). The Jim Burr Memorial Award for service to TMA was awarded to Andrea Marquardt for her outstanding work over several years as Communications Director.

Cross country and road events were programmed and were well supported by core groups of loyal members. TMA also has strong representation in the Winter Competition of Athletics South. The TMA Road Championships and Cross Country Championships were also well supported. There were 38 starters in the Road Championships at Campbell Town. The Westcott Perpetual Award for the best age-graded performance in the Road Championships was won by Esther Zbinden (W56) with 85.18%. The Cross Country Championships at Symmons Plains attracted a field of 33.North West Coaster, Bryan Tuit (M45) returned the best age-graded performance with 81.26%. A small but select group of members participated in regular Race Walking club events as well as AT and TMA Road Walk Championships over 5km and 10km.

The next 12 months will provide many participation opportunities for our athletes. In addition to local competition we have the AMA Championships in Melbourne in April 2019; the WMA Outdoor Championships in Malaga, Spain in September 2018 and the WMA Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland in March 2019.

As always our challenge is to maintain and even expand our membership base and to provide a broad range of activities for our members. There is recognition within our ranks that we have a major contribution to make as a whole of sport perspective for athletics is developed and enhanced.

Events Commission Report 2017-18 (incorporating Track and Field and Out of Stadium Commission Report) The Athletics Tasmania Championships year began with the State Road Running Championships in Launceston in June. With the kind agreement of Wayne Larden the new race director and owner of the Launceston Running Festival we were able to continue determining these championships with a well-organised mass participation event. The permanent addition of 2km and 5km events to the Festival means that we are able to recognise state road champions from under 12 through the age groups.

The Board decided that we should change the format of the cross country championships so that all under age events (except under 20) were determined from amongst the AT registered athletes entered in the State All Schools Cross Country who also “entered” for the state championship component. This proved to be not all that popular and was discontinued after the one year experiment in 2017.

The under 20, open and masters cross country championships were held on the immediately following weekend at Symmons Plains to take advantage of the facilities and course set-up. With no individual under-age championship races, cross country relay championships were added. Sadly whilst these were very strongly supported by northern based athletes, entries from the south were limited. Whilst the relays were not conducted in 2018 it is planned that these will be ‘revived” on a school or club or hybrid basis in 2019. With a long period of promotion it is hoped that these will become “big events” in the future.

The two days of the Tasmanian All Schools Cross Country at Symmons Plains were well-staged and highly successful. Pleasingly the event grew once again – creating some challenges for the future. Learnings are critical in event management and significant changes in the start and finish areas and course set-up were recommended and implemented for 2018.

A small group of hard-working officials again delivered the winter track and field series of competitions – with the numbers competing clearly demonstrating that there is a demand for throws event in particular throughout the year. But as a sport we need to think outside the box to find ways to deliver these competitions in a realistically low-cost manner – otherwise they are unviable despite the commitment of the organisers and officials and the level of athlete interest.

Founded 1902 | Incorporated 1981 25 | P a g e

With the eventual completion of the resurfacing of the St Leonards Athletics Centre by the start for the 2017-18 track and field season, AT had all three of our synthetic tracks available for its event calendar.

The State All Schools Track and Field was allocated to St Leonards and was staged with a significant increase in entries. The newly “re-formatted” Northern Tasmanian Athletics was found to be well-resourced and delivered its responsibilities in a sound and professional manner. The current intention is for this meet to be rotated annually between the north and south of the state.

The combined events, 3000m and the non-standard relay state championships were once again held together in Penguin in early February. Again it seemed apparent that unlike in the past, southern athletes in large are reluctant to travel to compete – despite the generally good competition conditions and fast running and jumping tracks at Penguin. Nonetheless numbers were reasonable across the board with invitation events added to provide for those whose disciplines were not being contested as championships.

The Age and Open/Masters Championships were staged separately, like the All Schools with increased entry numbers and encouraging results. Many under age athletes demonstrated the advantage of the separated model with personal bests and improved competition skills when taking part in the open events.

The State 5000m race walk and 10000m championships were held in conjunction with the Age Track and Field whilst the 10000m walk was part of the open and masters’ championships.

Two event areas which perhaps need some special attention are relays and combined events. These are events in which at various times in past years Tasmanian interest and participation has been significant. We have had much success at high levels in combined competitions and therefore is good reason why we should encourage more athletes to consider taking part in them. Pleasingly the numbers in the 10, 11 and 12 years age groups at our All Schools have been good for the last few years so perhaps the potential is there.

The success of the Tasmanian women’s team in winning the gold medal in the under 20 4x100m at the Nationals on the back of male victory in the same event two years before demonstrates what is possible. What is needed is better skills and a more serious participation approach to relays in club and school competition.

Founded 1902 | Incorporated 1981 26 | P a g e

In the final year of the Schools KnockOut competition it proved difficult both to inspire participation within the schools and to come up with a competition opportunity that was accessible to schools. In the end our solution was token – through providing an opportunity to score a total through athlete participation in the State All Schools. A direct invitation to the National Final was organised for The Hutchins School in recognition of its long standing support for the program.

Next season will see the transition at state and national level to a Nitro-style competition. It is anticipated that this will revive interest in both local and national participation. The initial state competitions will be held in term 4 in 2018 but thereafter it is AT’s intention to conduct them in terms 1 and/or 2.

AT’s involvement in supporting the delivery of inter-school competition continues with SSATIS cross-country, all three SATIS track and field meets, state primary track and field (PSST) and NHSSA track and field and through NWAC - the NWHSSA track and field. A most pleasing aspect in 2017-18 was the decision of SATIS and PSST to add events for para-athletes. This, alongside the success and example of the State’s club-based para athletes, promises to deliver some real opportunity for more athletes with a disability or impairment.

Much work was done with SATIS to re-position their carnivals to terms 1 and 2. Unfortunately, after it seemed agreement had been reached for 2019 and beyond, there has been a change of heart amongst the decision-makers. AT will continue to advocate for such changes in the best interests of athlete participation and performance in the independent school structure.

Sadly there was again no national circuit meet in Tasmania but opportunities to again stage the Briggs Athletics Classic are constantly pursued. However ATLAS was born with an emphasis on short, sharp, well presented evening competitions to drive personal best performance. The four meets met the brief and provided a great platform for expansion into the future. One key factor is date selection to maximise the opportunities for participation by the quite large number of higher performance athletes who live outside Hobart, particularly on the north-west coast.

The Cadbury Marathon Festival incorporating the state half marathon and marathon championships was again well-staged. It is recommended, however, that eligibility for the state championships component be re-visited by the Association.

Founded 1902 | Incorporated 1981 27 | P a g e

Carnival meet and club competition continues to be well delivered by the TAL, AS, NTA and NWAC. The continuing co-operation between AT and TMA in delivering joint events is particularly successful and a model for other states and territories. Two things can and should be the subject of immediate focus, however – a re-invigoration of club level competition in Launceston and ways found to increase masters participation in carnival competitions, as is very successfully the case in Victoria and South Australia.

Whilst the arrival of technology has reduced the number of officials required to deliver athletics competitions both in and out of stadium, all three geographical competition regions of the State and the TAL are in need of a revitalisation of officiating numbers. Commitment and the expertise of the current officiating groups remains high but they are in need of reinforcements. This must be a priority of the sport from 2018 onwards.

2018 Cadbury Marathon Festival Report Athletics Tasmania hosted the 35th edition of the Cadbury Marathon on Sunday 14th January.

After Cadbury updated their logo recently, the event also received an update, with a new logo and contract extension. Mondelez (the parent company to Cadbury), agreed to a further three years as major sponsor of the event.

This year’s event once again included five events:

 Cadbury Marathon

 Cadbury Half Marathon

 Cadbury 10km

 The Running Edge 5km

 Cadbury 1km

Since 1984 when Lindsay Webb won the first Cadbury Marathon, that saw runners roll along the Brooker Highway, Salamanca and Sandy Bay without any care for traffic management, Cadbury have remained a constant. The event continues to start and finish at the famed factory and this year attracted some 2300 entries.

Remarkably, around 800 of the entrants came from outside of Tasmania, spanning as far as Sao Paulo in Brazil, Beijing, New Zealand and across Europe, so keen are people to participate in such events around the world.

At the pointy end, a classic battle was held in the men’s Cadbury Marathon. Melbourne based Ethiopian Samuel Gebremichael did much of the front running until the back end of the race, when he was caught by Dion Finocchiaro and Dane Verwey.

The trio were side by side deep into the final kilometre, before Verwey surged ahead up the Cadbury ‘hill’, going on to claim his first major marathon win in 2:24:54.

Gemma Jenkins was the run away women’s winner in 2:51:26.

State titles were awarded to David Bailey in 2:42:48 and Jacqui Guy in 3:47:40.

Rio Olympian Liam Adams returned to run the Cadbury Half Marathon, smashing out a 64:44, holding out 2017 race winner Nick Earl and Canberra physio Hugh Williams. The men’s race in particular was quite deep with 6 men breaking 68minutes.

Northern Suburbs local Meriem Daoui was victorious in the women’s Cadbury Half Marathon, in her first attempt at a flat half marathon. At just 19 years of age she clocked an impressive 76:35.

State titles went to Sam Morey in 75:05 and of course Meriem.

The event once again made a healthy profit for the sport and continues to be a major event for Athletics Tasmania.

Over 100 people worked on the delivery of the event, which also provided many of our clubs and other community groups with an opportunity to raise some funds.

Race Walking Tasmania Report 2017-18 It is with great pleasure that I present Race Walking Tasmania’s Annual Report for 2017. This season the Club recorded our lowest number of competing walkers for a few years, especially in the junior ranks. As usual Masters Athletes continue to be a positive influence on all, always giving of themselves to either judge or mentor the younger walkers. Thanks also to Wayne Fletcher for all his advice and assistance with the measurement of our weekly courses.

The All Schools Race Walking Championships were held in Tunbridge in June with 21 walkers taking part and coming from all over the State, many achieving Personal Bests. Bayley Campbell, was our young winner in the Open Men’s 10KM event, and many of our junior walkers excelling in their respective events. It was at this meet that we welcomed Steve Ahern, one of the fathers whose daughters were also racing. Steve has done well on a National scale, winning three silver medals at the Australian Masters over several distances. I am sure that OVA and Masters will welcome his inclusion.

Once again our State Championships were held in Tunbridge a month later in July, with a very small field of 11 walkers taking part. Walkers that excelled in terrible conditions were Alice Randall in a new 5KM personal best, Bayley Campbell who took out the U18 and U16 events, Steve Ahern in the O40 5Km race and Will Bottle, Bianca Anderson and Kade Eastley in the younger age groups. Due to the cost, it was decided not to send a team to the Australian Federation Race Walking Championships, as it is becoming too expensive for families to attend several National meets a year.

Our Tasmanian Race Walking Team headed to Wollongong for the 2017 Australian Road Walking Championships in August. Spearheading the juniors was 17 year old Alice Randall who was the youngest in the Under 20 age group winning the 10KM in a new Personal Best, edging ever so close to the magical 50 mark. Not to be outdone, our younger walkers also performed admirably, with Under 16 walkers Bayley Campbell and William Robertson, both from OVA ‘Southern Saints’, achieving top six placings. William Robertson put in a brave race after being disqualified the previous year. Anna Blackwell also did well in coming so close to a bronze in the U18 Women’s 5KM in a personal best. Demi Petterwood came in a credible 14th in probably the worst conditions of the day and still has a couple of years in this age group.

Founded 1902 | Incorporated 1981 33 | P a g e

Under 20 10Km Women – Alice Randall 1st - 53.10

Under 18 5KM Women – Anna Blackwell 4th - 26.25

Under 16 5Km Men – Bayley Campbell 5th - 26.50

Under 16 5Km Men – William Robertson 7th - 27.32

Under 14 Women – Demi Petterwood 14th - 19.35

I thank all athletes, officials and families who continue to make this small club strive for excellence. We hope that we will be able to build on our strengths and continue to gain new walkers to the club.

Tasmanian Road Runners Report 2017-18 Tasmanian Road Runners (TRR) is a state-wide not-for-profit recreational running organisation originating in 2015. This organisation strives to increase participation in recreational running throughout Tasmania by encouraging a non-competitive running environment; creating a network to connect like-minded individuals; centralising and improving knowledge of and access to running resources and information; developing specific resources available freely online; delivering initiatives and outreach activities that benefit the community; and promoting running opportunities across the state.

Members There are 187 members in 2018 and over 2500 Facebook followers. In the past year, TRR has helped reduce cost as a potential barrier to participation in running by securing a 20% discount for members at nine fun runs across Tasmania, as well as negotiating a number of other discounts with local businesses (e.g. via The Running Edge Hobart, The Running Company Launceston, Muscle Maintenance, Tasman Key Service, etc.).

Events Tasmanian Road Runners attended various events across the state in the past year – including 12 fun runs (Race to the Taste, Cadbury Marathon, Derwent Valley Australia Day Fun Run, Hobart Run the Bridge, Launceston 10, Beach to Bay Fun Run Strahan, Glenorchy Fun Run, Crank-e Hobart Fun Run, Ross Marathons, Launceston Marathon, Bruny Island Ultra Marathon, Convicts and Wenches Beach Run); and various park run events/occasions. The TRR marquee was exhibited at these fun run events, and TRR assists in promotion, distribution of information, and increasing participation.

In addition, TRR coordinated 2 new fun runs – both which were used by members as fundraisers for a particular charity. One was for Meriem Daoui to raise money for the Rohinya refugee crisis, and the other for Rachel Keygan to organise money for Breast Cancer Network Australia – with over 150 participants and $5000+ raised across the two events that were fully coordinated by TRR.

TRR also hosts a number of social functions (open to members and non-members) – including a quarterly run and brunch, as well as intermittent training runs, and a Cadbury Marathon post- run social night.

Founded 1902 | Incorporated 1981 35 | P a g e

Volunteers Volunteering within the organisation comes in many forms: members contribute to the organising of local fun run events (on committees, as traffic marshals, helping hand-out medals/bibs, as water station aids, packing up etc.), and have as such provided over 85 instances in the past year where volunteers have assisted local fun run events across Tasmania. Over 130+ volunteer hours have been contributed to Tasmanian fun run events by TRR members in the past 12 months. We also distribute a one-page information sheet specifically on volunteering within the running community to each member when they register.

Members contribute articles for the online website so that others have access to resources (such as event profiles; tasmanianroadrunners.org.au/resources/event-profiles-tasmania/); offer coaching advice and free/personalised training programs (e.g. offered over 6 personalised marathon training programs to Tasmanians last year, and have various training programs available via the website), volunteers compile and distribute the State’s only comprehensive and free calendar of events (updated monthly).

In addition to this, Tasmanian Road Runners were invited to help organise three existing fun runs in 2017-18 (Bruny Island Ultra Marathon, the Derwent Valley Australia Day Fun Run, and Convicts and Wenches Beach Run) – which was also carried out in a voluntary capacity.

Awards In the past year TRR has received three award nominations (one for Volunteering Tasmania, and 2 for the Tasmanian Community Achievement award nominations).

Initiatives Tasmanian Road Runners has also introduced/continued a number of key initiatives:

 Angels (pacers) and Footsoldiers (last place-getters) – made available to a number of events across the state; with over 60 pacers and 10 Foot soldiers offered in the last 12 months  Make Me A Marathoner campaign – designed to train 4 Tasmanians to their first marathon (Cadbury Marathon)

 The Coaching Lounge – a private Facebook group which helps open lines of conversation amongst coaches throughout Tasmania

 Successfully applied for funding from the Department of Premier and Cabinet Minor Grants round to allow the organisation to purchase fun run equipment

Founded 1902 | Incorporated 1981 36 | P a g e

 Promoted the growth and participation in training groups around the state by promoting those available via social media, a monthly e-newsletter to members, and a website resource page

 Promotion and encouragement of personal development and coaching pathways by offering three scholarships to assist members with course registration fees (for any relevant course)

 Provided free training programs:

o Couch to 5k o Train for a 10k o Half marathon training program o Personalised Cadbury Marathon programs o Point to Pinnacle pacing chart o Various personalised programs as requested

Athletics Tasmania Tasmanian Road Runners has been an affiliated member of Athletics Tasmania since 2015, and acts as a vehicle to promote athletics and cross country as opportunities for further involvement in running and training that are available to all Tasmanians. TRR recognises the opportunities provided by Athletics Tasmania are available and applicable to recreational runners – and has endeavoured to improve awareness and participation by promoting AT events – such as attendance at cross country, promoting the track and field, calling for volunteers to assist in AT events (e.g. school cross country), and implementing an information page about cross country in Tasmania (available on our website and promoted prior to the season).

Tasmanian Road Runners has valued the opportunity to work with Athletics Tasmania on improving awareness, engagement, and participation in running-related activities in Tasmania, and look forward to continuing this collaboration into the future.

Australian Marathon Championships Report 2017 The Tasmanian tradition in Marathon running had another page written in Sydney with another team BRONZE medal in the Men’s Australian Championships.

It was big PBs all around with Anthony GANGELL (SB) running 2.45, Drew LATHAM (ES) running 2.52.24, and David CHADWICK (ES) sneaking into the elusive sub 3 hour group with 2.59.31. Leigh GEALE (NEW) supported the team with a finishing time of 3.10.21. This team results replicates the Bronze medal won by the half marathon team last month.

In the Women’s Championship, it was also a huge PB to Gabby WILSON (ES) who was the first Tasmanian female home in 3.17.55, while Robyn WALLACE ran a fantastic 3.25.07. Annie De JONG battled injury, but unfortunately it got the better of her towards the end, but she will bounce back from the experience.

The Australian Championships were held in conjunction with the Sydney Running Festival which also featured many other great performances across the various distances by many other Tasmanians.

Para Coordinator Report 2017-2018 During the 2017/18 season, the interest and enthusiasm for para athletics has grown exponentially. Those athletes who were already part of the program have gone on to greater success and personal achievement, and we have welcomed new para athletes who have gained classifications and are training and competing in the sport.

A big step forward has been the appointment of Stuart Millar, our first Para Coaching Scholarship holder for the 2017/18 season. Stuart is taking a particular interest in wheelchair athletes and conducts regular training sessions at the Domain Athletics Centre.

It was very pleasing to see the first wheelchair athlete competing in the 2017 Tasmanian All Schools competition. The challenge of obtaining specialised equipment, as well as technical coaching and expertise, for wheelchair athletes in Tasmania remains an issue. Two separate grant applications to assist in the purchase of specialised equipment have been unsuccessful, and this is something that Athletics Tasmania will need to keep pursuing in order to support and encourage potential para athletes.

The work by Susan Andrews (TIS) and Rebecca Spry (CSR) in pushing for SATIS to include specific para events in their southern and state carnivals was very much appreciated. The inclusion of para events at these carnivals proved extremely successful and I am confident the numbers of participants in these events will increase at the 2018 carnivals.

Athletics Tasmania were once again supported by Athletics Australia in holding a national-level classification day on Saturday 28 October, this time in Launceston. Five athletes were seen by the panel of classifiers and all received para classifications. This number remained steady compared to the first classification day the year before.

Outstanding results have been achieved by Tasmania’s para athletes at both national and international level. Seasoned competitor Deon Kenzie (T28) won gold in the 1500m and silver in the 800m at the IPC World Championships and is currently ranked first in both these events according to the IPC World Ranking.

Alexander McKillop (T36), who, after a long wait, recently had his international classification confirmed, was team captain for the Australian Junior Championships. Running up an age group in multi-class events, Alexander won silver in the U20 Para 200m and bronze in the 100m. During this season he has also broken multiple state and national records.

Samuel Walker (T38) was selected as a member of the Australian team for the inaugural IAAF World Junior Championships in Switzerland in August. Here he won silver in the U16 Long Jump and bronze in the 100m, as well as placing 5th in the final of the 200m. At the Australian Open Championships Sam competed in the Open 100m ambulant final, placing 5th. On the basis of this and other performances, Sam was selected as a member of the Australian Team for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. At just 15 years of age, Sam became the youngest athlete to be selected for an Australian athletics team, and ran a significant personal best to place 6th in the final of the Men’s T38 100m.

The future of para athletics in Tasmania is looking bright.
