Niobe Menéndez Interviewed 3 Do Britain's Young Race Walkers Have 757 December 2005 £2.00 Niobe Menéndez Interviewed 3 Do Britain’s young race walkers have the X Factor? 7 Results 10 Letters 18 Fixtures 19 www.racewalkingrecord.com A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. Lao-tzu. The milepost of 1000 days to the Beijing 2008 Olympics was passed this month, and with the 2012 London Games only four years further ahead British Athletics will be under increasing pressure to improve. UK Athletics new Performance Director Dave Collins hosted a series of public meetings on 17-27 October 2005 to explain how he thinks his Performance Pathway will help athletes deemed capable of achieving podium / top eight placings at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Collins, the former Marine and professor of physical education and sports performance who became UK Athletics’ performance director in March, is responsible for making sure British athletes win medals at the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012. Collins was a controversial choice, having no previous coaching experience ‘The medal targets appear modest enough’, he said ‘five in Beijing and eight in London’. A stated aim of getting British athletes into 50% of the finals in London is more ambitious. He didn’t mince his words when it comes his impression of some of the coaches he's met. ‘Those guys who reckon they know everything are brain dead. Take them away and turn them into meat pies.’ he said. According to Dave Collins, there is need for action. There are athletes on funding who have gone slower year on year for the last three years.’ If I was the coach, I would have asked myself, “Am I doing everything right?” If I was the athlete, I would have asked myself, “Am I doing everything I can?” If I was an administrator involved with the athlete and coach, I would have asked myself, “Am I doing all I can?” Because someone must be doing something not right for the athlete to be going slower for three successive years.’ As a result of the shake-up, UK Athletics has appointed Performance Managers to focus solely on helping athletes with a chance of achieving top 8 performances at World or Olympic level. Among the 'PMs' appointed is 1992 Olympic 50m walker Martin Rush who will cover the in the South of England. Norwich Union Great Britain and Northern Ireland Teams for competitions such as the IAAF Race Walking Championships will be funded from sources other than the World Class Performance budget. There seemed to be a degree of mental frailty in the GBR team at the IAAF World Championships in Helsinki this summer, not helped by the simplistic 'hero or zero' press coverage and quotes from Dave Collins in which he came across as something of a bully using words sports editors wanted to hear, rather than strengthening team morale. Nevertheless in his presentation (linked from the UKA and RWR site of 14 December 2005) offer some solid pointers for aspiring coaches and athletes His Athlete Performance Template (APT) offers a standardised format for evaluating the performance and/or potential of athletes. He also reminds us ‘what sport is all about: ambition, competition, and achievement’. The Race Walking Association’s AGM on 4 December in Birmingham will vote on the position of RWA President for its crucial period leading up to the EAA European Cup of Race Walking at Leamington Spa in 2007. Debate can also be expected in the Foster Report about the future structure of athletics. Obviously the structure is important but should negotiated past as quickly as possible. The RWA says it will be working on a Development Plan, but matters that should be worked on (one step at a time) are integrating the competitive structure of the events as much as possible within the rest of athletics, raising the standards in coaching and elsewhere, and concentrating wholeheartedly - to paraphrase Dave Collins simple mantra - on encouraging our athletes to walk faster.

The major factors by which the rankings are determined are win-loss record, performances in major meetings, and sequence of marks. If have missed any performances, I would be very pleased to receive any missing results at 10 Madgeways Close, Great Amwell, Herts SG12 9RU. On the first line is shown the athlete’s name, then their date of birth followed, in brackets, by the number of years ranked (including 2005) and their ranking last year (2004), and finally, their best mark prior to 2005. 20 KILOMETRES WALK 1 Daniel King 30.5.83 (3y, 1) 1:27:51 ’04 Daniel King 1= Coventry 1:29:37, 27 La Coruña 1:31:37, 1 RWA 1:32:55, 37 Rio Maior 1:33:10, finishing the RWA 20km dq Leamington 2 Andrew Penn 31.3.67 (15y, 4) 1:23:34 ’92 6 Dublin 1:29:13, 2 RWA 1:33:55 3 Dominic King 30.5.83 (4y, 2) 1:27:52 ’04 1 Leamington 1:29:21, 1= Coventry 1:29:37, 30 Rio Maior 1:30:41, dq, ECp, Dublin, RWA 4 Steve P artington 17.9.65 (18y, 6) 1:24:18 ’90 1 Douglas 1:30:20, 1 Manx 1:31:20, 1 Douglas (11/9) 1:31:42, dnf Leamington 5 Andi Drake 6.2.65 (13y, 3) 1:24:04.0t ’90 2 Douglas 1:32:55, dnf L eamington, dq RWA 6 Peter K aneen 12.7.61 (2y, -) 1:35:24 ’03 3 Douglas 1:34:52, 2 Douglas (11/9) 1:36:59, 2 Manx 1:37:18 There is again no British walker remotely near my international class (world top 150) standard of 1:25:00 and only eight men broke 1:40, the fewest since 1963.

Some of the main contenders include • The winners of the 12 walk events in the Australian Junior T&F Championships • Tyler Jones, Kyle Swan and Clara Smith who all bettered the World Youth qualifying standard at the above champs • Chris Erickson who did a PB of 1:22:08 in taking 10th place in the IAAF Challenge event in Nomi, Japan • Ashleigh Resch who won the Girls 1 Mile walk at the USA National Indoor T&F Champs with a new US National Girls record of 7:00.33. Having analysed all the results, I am pleased to announce that Kyle Swan is my overall choice. I am sure that you will agree he is a worthy choice once you review my explanation. He came into the summer season with a PB of 46:50 and needed to improve to 44:15 or better to have any chance of World Youth Championships selection, but his form was well off that sort of time. He had carried an injury through the second half of 2014 and was struggling to get back into shape as the summer progressed.

  • SOUTHAMPTON ATHLETIC CLUB ROLL of HONOUR Best
    SOUTHAMPTON ATHLETIC CLUB ROLL OF HONOUR Best performances In 1886 C, Rogers of Southampton Harriers won the A.A.A. 4 miles title. Hampshire A.A. have had an enquiry from a lady about her grandfather who was cycling down from a village outside Andover in the 1890’s to run (in hobnail boots) in cross-country and Hare & Hounds. As he was the hare sometimes, this again supports a local club membership. H.A.A.A. was formed in 1927. Probably due to the clash Hampshire Athletic Club changed its name to Southampton Amateur Athletic Club on 15 th February, 1932. A Ladies Section was added on 14 th December, 1949 for cross-country but track and field, badminton and netball quickly followed. The club amalgamated with Eastleigh Amateur A.C. on 1 st December, 1970.to form Southampton & Eastleigh A,C. Later names were Southampton City A.C. and after amalgamation with Team Solent in November, 2004 Team Southampton. The next amalgamation was with Southampton R.C. on 1 ST April, 2010 to become the present Southampton A.C. As no club was dissolved to form Southampton A.C. I have used members of all the named clubs, except the Harriers, to assemble these records. I am particularly indebted to Rod Davies and Aaron Bennett for their data. So far there is one deliberate mistake and doubtless many unintentional ones. I am only too happy to be corrected, so inundate me with e-mail at [email protected] . The clubs have competed on the grass tracks at the County Cricket Ground, the Civil Service Ground and Fleming Park, and the Redgra Education track at Redbridge.
