Athletics New Zealand has, over a number of years, acquired a considerable amount of statistical and historical data. Together with Athletics New Zealand we decided that the data should be shared amongst other similar interested and passionate aficionados and condensed into a yearly Almanac. This is the first such Almanac published by Athletics New Zealand and covers the association’s activities during the 2010 calendar year. Whilst the decision was taken late to produce a yearly Almanac, we have worked hard and studiously over the past two months to produce this edition by mid-year. However, it is our intention that future editions of the yearly Almanac, covering the calendar year, will be produced by the end of February following. We are grateful to colleagues who have helped us acquire the necessary data and we have detailed our thanks to those individuals in a separate section. Before getting immersed in the content of this Almanac, we would advise you to spend a few minutes reading the Notes section, which details and explains some of the intricacies of the data, much of it unique to the New Zealand setting. Stephen Hollings Simon Holroyd Editors June 2011 Acknowledgements We are indebted to the following colleagues and associates who provided data, information and their expertise to sections of this Almanac: Murray McKinnon – who meticulously maintains the lists of National and All-Comers Records Nadine Fromont – for the International results and the list of New Zealand representatives Leanne Asher and Will Stewart – for New Zealand Championship results Alastair Dunn – coordinated the collection of data and liaised with us over the production of the Almanac Jamie Schaefer – for the cover design And finally to Gavin Lovegrove of Imaging4design, who typeset and laid out all the material and coordinated and supervised the printing of the Almanac. Page 4 | Athletics New Zealand Almanac 2010 Notes 2010 Calendar Year – The material in this Almanac covers the 2010 Calendar year which is from 1st January 2010 until 31st December 2010. The period therefore also covers parts of two New Zealand Domestic Seasons i.e., the end of the 2009 – 2010 Domestic Season and the beginning of the 2010 – 11 Domestic Season. The New Zealand Domestic Season runs from 1st May to 30th April of the year following. Age Groups – New Zealand has three age groups Men/Women16, Men/Women19, Senior Men/Women. The age groups are based on a “cut-off” date of 31st December, BUT, athletes continue in their respective age group until the end of the Domestic Season, which is 30th April following. Therefore, in any one Calendar year if an athlete changes age group they may appear in two age group Ranking Lists. Ranking Lists – Age group athletes’ performances (M/W16 and M/W19) will also appear in the Open Men/ Women lists if the event specification (implement weight/ hurdle height) of the age group is the same as that of the specification for Senior Men/Women. M/W16 athletes will not appear additionally in the M/W19 lists unless they compete with M/W19 implements/hurdle heights. Age Records – Eligibility for a New Zealand Age Record is different from eligibility for an Age Group. Age Records are adjudged on the age of the athlete on the day of the performance. Although an athlete may be in a particular age group they may be ineligible for a New Zealand Age Record because they are too old. This comes about by the Age Groups date eligibility crossing the Calendar year, which the Age Record eligibility is based upon. 2008 Lists – The Ranking Lists in their current format were commenced on 1st May 2008. Therefore the 2008 Calendar Year Lists do not include performances achieved from 1st January to 30th April 2008. This may impact on the accuracy of the tables that show the progression of the event as only year 2008 performances from the 1st May 2008 until 31st December 2008 are shown in the tables. All-Time Lists – Because age groups have changed over the years we have only shown the All-Time lists for the Open Men and Open Women. Currently we are showing down to the top 20 in most events. In future editions we hope to extend these lists to a greater depth. In the live Ranking Lists (www.anzrankings.org.nz) reference is also made to “All-Time” performances. In that particular context the term “All-Time”
