He was the world’s leading pedestrian. 1879 Llanfair Caereinion Powys-born George Dunning sets a world 40 miles record at Stamford Bridge of 4:50.12. 1880 Newport AC represented by Richard Mullock at the formation of the AAA at The Randolph Hotel, Oxford - Chambers also there. 1881 Dunning effectively sets an inaugural world record for the half-marathon when he runs 1:13.46 on a track at Stamford Bridge. The distance is actually 13 miles 440 yards, i.e. further than the designated half marathon distance of 13 miles 192.5 yards. 1881 Dunning becomes the first Welsh born athlete to win the (English) National cross country title. 1882 Roath (Cardiff) Harriers formed. They amalgamated with Birchgrove (Cardiff) Harriers in 1968 to form Cardiff AAC.1890. 1890 Will Parry, born in Buttington, near Welshpool wins the (English) National cross country title for a third successive year. 1893 First Welsh amateur track championships held as part of an open sports meeting.

  • 1 SUSSEX COUNTY ATHLETICS ASSOCIATION President: Roland Garrad Report to the Annual General Meeting on Friday 20Th October 2017
    SUSSEX COUNTY ATHLETICS ASSOCIATION President: Roland Garrad Report to the Annual General Meeting on Friday 20th October 2017 ‘London 2017 has given athletics the opportunity to believe again’, was the headline in a broadsheet the day after the World Athletics Championships ended. “What we have witnessed this week will inspire a generation of young people. We have shown that, when we get it right, this sport is unassailable,” said Lord Coe. It is absolutely right that we celebrate the sport we love (and protest about the elements we dislike!) but the reality is that British athletics enjoyed limited success until the final weekend of the World’s when Mo Farah added a 5000m silver to his 10000m gold and the relay Men and Women entirely justified their funding by helping Athletics hit its UK Sport target of at least six medals. It was a great 10 days of athletics but can people stay inspired when facilities are being closed down, cut in half (Horsham’s Tube) or are poorly maintained, when decisions are being made that divert money away from the grassroots, when clubs have lengthy waiting lists and little possibility of recruiting/attracting new coaches and when active officials are becoming a rare breed? In terms of Sussex, two of last year’s four Rio Olympians were selected for the World’s - Lewes’ Rob Mullett and Horsham based Jade Lally. They are both the leading British athletes but neither had the Championships they would have wanted. Mullett was below par in the 3000 metre steeplechase and did not qualify for the final and Lally too, recovering from injury, did not make it through the discus round.

  • Final Program
    Final Program 100th Annual Meeting August 13-16, 2005 Philadelphia Marriott, Philadelphia Loews, and Philadelphia Downtown Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Comparative Perspectives, Competing Explanations Accounting for the Rising and Declining Significance of Sociology This is the centennial for the Association, so the meeting theme should be sufficiently expansive to address a wide historical sweep, and yet have sufficient focus to provide a framework in which to address key aspects of the social history of the discipline—its contemporary situation and its potential future development. Each of the three elements from the title “Comparative Perspectives, Competing Explanations” is designed to produce a fruitful meeting frame: First, the notion of “comparative perspectives” is itself “accordion-like” and can fit a number of purposes and goals. There is the international aspect, so that we can incorporate a comparison of American sociology with international developments. There is the internal evolution of perspectives inside of the United States, which would include the development and emergence of challenging and oppositional perspectives in the discipline, from the Society for the Study of Social Problems, to Sociologists for Women in Society, to the Association of Black Sociologists, to name but a few organizational manifestations of the challenges of the last half century. There are others that will surely surface from the general call. Second, there is the notion of “competing explanations.” Competing explanations
