Almanac 2015 1 Almanac_2015_6.indd 1 19/04/16 5:05 PM Introduction We are pleased to be able to offer you this sixth annual edition of the Almanac. The rankings database continues to grow and now contains over 63,100 performances by 3329 athletes. Major work in the past twelve – months focussed on consolidating the lists of Records. Bylaw changes that reflected this consolidation has enabled us to fill in some of the “gaps” in the data. However further work is required to be able to finalise the records lists. We have added a couple of new features to this edition – namely the addition of trend graphs for the senior events, that demonstrate how the events in New Zealand are tracking over the past eight years. 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 2016 Acknowledgements We are grateful to the following colleagues and associates who provided content and their expertise to sections of this almanac: Gavin Lovegrove of Lovegrove Design, designed the cover, undertook the typesetting and layout and coordinated and supervised the printing of the Almanac. Terry Lomax supplied the data relating to the Athletics New Zealand Grand Prix Series. Rod Syme and Murray McKinnon, as members of the Records Advisory Group, provided advice and counsel on the ratifying of records. NOTES 2015 Calendar Year – The material in this Almanac covers the 2015 Calendar year which is from 1st January 2015 until 31st December 2015. Age Groups – New Zealand had three age groups in 2015. 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 Tania Murray – Tania Murray-Dixon Demelza Murrihy – Demelza Murrihy-Topp Danielle Trevis – Danielle Ingram –Trevis Lesley Morton – Lesley Ryan Leonora Joy-Petrina – Leonora Petrina Angela Petty – Angela Smit Fiona Centers – Fiona Hely Rowan Torckler – Rowan Baird Lucy van Dalen – Lucy Oliver Bryn Jones – Bryn McLeod-Jones Jordan de Spong – Jordan Rackham Athletics New Zealand - Almanac 2015 2 Almanac_2015_6.indd 2 19/04/16 5:05 PM 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
