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. We were fortunate to again have IGA Supermarkets as our Principal Commercial Partner whilst special recognition must also go to our Government Partner the Tasmanian Government whose financial contribution to our organisation is most welcome through Sport and Recreation Tasmania and Events Tasmania. Our parent body Athletics Australia although supported us in a variety of ways – including the national insurance and state performance programs, and in the hosting once again of two national events during the report period. The major sponsors of the Tasmanian Marathon Festival, Cadbury Schweppes, along with Tasmania Police and the Glenorchy City Council helped us deliver yet another successful edition of this growing event, which continues to grow each year, whilst the Hobart City Council is acknowledged for its help and assistance with the Race to the Taste and the inaugural IAAF Race Walk Challenge. Events Tasmania provided us with support to enable the sport to successfully stage the Marathon, the Australian Road Walks Championships and the Briggs Athletics Classic. We thank all our sponsors and supporters for their generous assistance:

PRESIDENT’S AND BOARD REPORT 2010-11 2010-11 provided the opportunity for the Athletics Tasmania to concentrate on the unfulfilled objectives within the Association’s strategic plan which was entering the final year of its operation and to develop its replacement. The financial outcomes of the previous season enable investment in additional staff and the acquisition of resources and to develop new financial and support arrangements with the branches. Again, however, the conduct of key events was a major focus and this continues to require the largest proportion of the time, skill and dedication of our Association staff, volunteer and officiating communities. The Tasmanian All Schools Cross Country, Cadbury Marathon Festival, Briggs Athletics Classic and the IAAF Race Walk Challenge are in particular significant and highly regarded and successful events. But beyond those, there are a range of bread and butter competitions, which are the very reason for the Association’s existence and these also require appropriate attention and commitment. To this end the Board has carefully studied those state events which truly provide a benefit to the membership. New events have been trialled but some have not proven either attractive or feasible. As a result, a rationalisation has taken place to ensure logical and effective delivery. Traditional competitions, such as the combined events, which at the moment are not attracting high levels of participation, will be retained. Nationally and internationally, the Tasmanian athletics family’s expertise delivered the 2011 edition of the Briggs Athletics Classic, on this occasion within the new Australian Athletics Tour; the second staging of the IAAF Race Walk Challenge and Australian 20km Road Walks Championships in Hobart, which now also incorporates the Oceania Championships; and equally importantly as part of our role within the National Performance Program, the unique coaching and competition entity – “Hammerfest”. Evan Peacock, Peter Fortune and their team deserve considerable recognition and acknowledgement for driving this excellent idea as a national leader as a high level skills acquisition program – which draws on national expertise and enthusiasm in a single event – one that also happens to be one in which Tasmania is making great progress. The IGA Tasmanian All Schools Cross Country and Cadbury Marathon Festival again expanded in 2010-11 and provide not only examples of the Association’s capacity to present quality events but also broader participation opportunities in the sport for those who are not members in the traditional sense. The same can also be said of our continuing roles in delivering school athletics in Tasmania – not only through our long standing events such as the statewide cross country, walks, track and field and schools knockout programs but increasingly so, as the conduit for interschool competition, particularly in the south of the state. The need for our professional and voluntary resources in this regard grew again last year as we staged for the first time the southern independent schools cross country and assisted SATIS in converting to a meet manager based system for its track and field events. The chip timing service acquired in 2010 has enabled the Association to provide greater support for the recreational running market and combined with Athletics Australia’s new initiatives in this area, the future looks very encouraging for an appropriate interaction and ongoing productive relationship with this sector. This is enhanced by a unique arrangement which the Association has entered into with the national body whereby the services of the Events and Marketing Manager will be shared – with Richard Welsh taking on the management and supervision of AA’s “irun” initiative. During the year Simon Bennett and Mark Smith, with the assistance of the Tasmanian Government’s support programs, undertook and completed traineeships. Again we acknowledge the partnership support provided by AFL Tasmania to provide office space and services for us in Launceston. This was a one-off program made possible by the financial returns for events held in 2009 and the State Grants Progam. However, with the assistance of AA and the Australian Paralympic Committee, we have been able to retain the services of Simon on an ongoing basis as a Participation and Development Officer. The “umbrella” functions of Athletics Tasmania are now as complete as the Board would probably wish them to be. Close functional relationships now exist with our kindred organisations - the Tasmanian Athletic League, Tasmanian Masters and the Tasmanian Branch of the ATFCA. Pleasingly virtually the entirety of the formal community running sector in Tasmania now has a working connection with AT. Joint activities with Tasmanian Little Athletics – particularly dual registration, calendar management, coaches and officials training continue to work well. Both bodies recognise, however, that the existing separate arrangements for day to day administration and governance, seem to be the best model.

6

Athletics Australia’s willingness to grasp the nettle and to take up leadership on both coach and officials education has been welcome and provides the most obvious examples of where a unified system for all arms of athletics at both state and national are logical and workable. AT, TLA and ATFCA (Tas) have been enthusiastic in embracing both, and a range of courses in this transitional period have been staged with excellent attendance levels. No progress has been made on support for schools programs with the State Departments of Education and Sport and Recreation, nor disappointingly also through the ASC’s much vaunted new participation funding programs, which delivered little to athletics despite the significant roles we play in this regard. However there appear to be further opportunities over time within the Active After School program. The Tasmanian Government through its Sport and Recreation and Events Tasmania grant programs, remains a most valued funding partner of, and advisor to, the Association. It is playing a valuable role in assisting the Association in formulating its new strategic plan, which will operate until 2014. Other governance initiatives including the implementation of development plans for clubs and branches; a model club program, revision of the Association’s cache of member protection and other policies, and a full constitutional revamp are in progress. We were also delighted to be able to continue our relationship as our Principal Commercial Partner with IGA Supermarkets, who also came on board as event sponsor for the Schools Cross Country. The Tasmanian Institute of Sport is another valued ally, with whom we deliver our state performance and talent development program, the latter through the re-badge vehicle of Team ATIS. The latter continues to produce with six squad members gaining national youth or junior selection in 2011 – proof of the correctness of the Association’s tough call 3 to 4 years back to concentrate on a youth program for the foreseeable future and of the TIS’s then bold decision to go along with us. Other states and territories are now considering similar models. Medal hauls at national events are also strong evidence of the value of these decisions. The Board’s review of its awards system and the way in which recipients are recognised is virtually complete. We were delighted to be able to co-host with the Mayor of Launceston in August 2010 a function which acknowledged the special contribution of a range of volunteers and supporters from the north of the State including 50 years of service from Life Member, Geoff Boon. “Honour rolls” on the Association website are the next task. Historical “Athlete of the Year” listings are now already in place. As planned, the Executive continued to handle ongoing and routine matters through more regular meetings of that group but the Board still met as appropriate – on the five planned occasions during the report year. Much work and non-contentious decision making was also undertaken by electronic communication. The revamped Track and Field Commission began its work during the report period and the same is anticipated for the Out of Stadium Commission from later in 2011. Increasing athletic activity in the North West, along with a refreshment of the facilities and equipment at Penguin remain on the Association’s radar, as is the need to greatly increase the number of persons actively engaged in coaching in all arms of the sport. As always we acknowledge the Tasmanian media for its continued willingness to provide a high level of exposure for our sport – still the best in the country, by far, and by no means least the contribution of the Central Coast, Hobart and Launceston Councils through provision for our track and field facilities. We acknowledge in a most heartfelt manner, Steve and Debbie Lance and Telstra Shop Glenorchy, not only for their ongoing support but in particular for the exceptional special programs they drove in 2010-11 which delivered considerable cash support to the Association and a number of clubs. Macquarie Accounting our accounting support provider also continues to be a most valued partner. We note with sadness, however, shortly after the end of the report year, the passing of two great contributors to Athletics Tasmania and its activities. Merit Award Holders, distinguished coach and mentor, Albert Johnson and our Vice Patron, Phyllis Wise. On behalf of the Association I record our thanks and appreciation to fellow Board members and to our hard working employees during the 2010-11 year - Fiona Plummer, Richard Welsh, Peter Fortune, Simon Bennett and Mark Smith as well as State Team Manager, Rosemary Coleman.

FINANCE DIRECTOR’S REPORT 2010-11

Year ended 31 March 2011 The fully audited accounts for the year ending 31 March 2011 are now provided for the perusal of members. I advise that WHK Denison have continued to undertaken the audit for the organisation for this period. As foreshadowed in last year’s Annual Report, management of increasing expenditure levels, cash flow and the debtor’s ledger are a challenge for the organisation. The final outcome for Athletics Tasmania this year will show an operating loss making use of the surplus carried forward from the previous year. Total income for the year was around $100,000 lower than 2009/10 with income reducing to just below $400,000 for the year and in line with the income generated in the 2008/9 year. The reduction in income primarily related to the loss of the additional sponsorship and income (-$70,000) and event entry fees (-$30,000) generated by the National All Schools and Youth held in 2009. Expenditure for the year was approximately $63,000 more than income. Included in this additional expenditure is a $23,000 increase in the stock holding for uniforms. Athletics Tasmania changed uniform providers during the year and consequently was required to place an initial significant uniform order to secure the new arrangement. The additional holding will reduce uniform expenditure in the next year. The two trainees increased salary costs by an additional $30,000 and this increase will continue going forward with Simon Bennett coming onto the payroll in his new role. However, Athletics Tasmania has entered into a short-term arrangement with Athletics Australia to contract out 50% of the services of the Events and Marketing Manager resulting in a consummate saving in salary that reduces this increase in 2011/12. As stated in last year’s report, “Athletics Tasmania cannot continue to operate out of the existing office accommodation” – the Board continue to work towards finalisation of plans to improve the facility at the Domain. Athletics Tasmania was successful in retaining our major local sponsor with IGA remaining on board and our financial position for the immediate future is still sound.

2011 CADBURY MARATHON REPORT

2011 brought us the 28th edition of the Cadbury Marathon – that’s got to be some sort of sponsorship

record! Participation this year was an all time record, brought about by several new partnerships and initiatives, including having running legend Steve Moneghetti as the race ambassador. Around 800 took part across all four events, with nearly 200 tackling the full marathon. The first man home in the full marathon was pre-race favourite Trent Harlow from Melbourne. After being kept company for the first 7km by Hobart’s Kedir Ahmed, Harlow ran on his own for the rest of the journey to clock 2 hours 30 minutes 22 seconds. Launceston’s Jarrod Vos was the surprise packet of the day, coming in second overall and picked up the Tasmanian state marathon title in the process. Defending champion Sharon Ryder of Brisbane made it back to back Cadbury Marathon titles, taking the women’s race in 3:04:33. The women’s state title went to Emma Weitnauer in 3:20:20. The Cadbury Half Marathon once again included the Tasmanian Championships and the Australian Masters Half Marathon title. Victory at the pointy end of the field went to Ethiopian Wondwosen Geleta in 68:04, with Brisbane’s Clare Geraghty clocking 76:04 to take the women’s title. Tasmanian titles were awarded to Andy Allison and Karinna Fyfe, while the Australian Masters titles were won by Michel Bermudes and Glenda Banaghan. With around 80 volunteers helping out on the day, this event really has gone to new levels in recent years. The support of Cadbury, Events Tasmania, Mizuno, R4YL, The Running Edge, Mercure Hotel, Skins and the Gold Coast Airport Marathon really made this years event. Lookout for plenty more positive changes at the 2012 event on January 8 and hopefully we can see 1000 people taking part at the Cadbury Marathon Festival.

Richard Welsh Race Director

EVENTS AND MARKETING MANAGER’S REPORT 2010-11 Once again my role has changed in the past 12 months, with more of a focus on events and marketing – hence the new title as from 1 April 2011. Nevertheless our Development and Participation Officer, Simon Bennett and I work closely together, with Simon now taking on a lot more responsibility in the traditional areas of development.. While my focus is now on events and marketing, Simon is now more involved with Team ATIS (formerly AT/TIS Development Squad), schools, coaching and the AWD program. Continuing to work with our State Performance Manager, Peter Fortune, it has been a pleasure watching many of our athletes develop during the past year. Our results began with success at the Australian Cross Country Championships in Brisbane, then continued to the Australian All Schools in Doncaster and the Australian Junior Championships in Sydney.

A massive congratulations go out to our named international representatives in 2011: Danni McConnell and Kaitlin Morgan at the World Youth Championships, Rebecca Direen at the Oceania Regional Championships, along with Max Waldron, Mikayla Genge and Abbey de la Motte who will attend the Commonwealth Youth Games. It is a very exciting time for these teenage athletes. Major events once again included the IGA Tasmanian All Schools Cross Country, Cadbury Marathon, Briggs Athletics Classic, IAAF Race Walking Challenge, along with our various state championships. Without a doubt, events are now taking on a more professional approach these days, with crowds and participants in various events expecting more value for their money and time spent at events. Therefore our challenge in delivering future events is to continually improve what we do. That means making events safer, better valued, better promoted and providing participants with an overall memorable experience. With that, comes the need to also return a surplus to invest in the sport and to increase participation, which if done well, should come hand in hand. The Tasmanian athletics family can be proud of many of our marquee events, with participation at events such as the Schools Knockout program, statewide schools track & field and cross country, state championships in both track & field and cross country, Cadbury Marathon and many of the TAL carnivals having an increased number of participants. Sponsorship is becoming more competitive among sports and events these days, with companies looking for opportunities to engage with the market. Gone are the days of sticking up a sign on the ground and buying the sponsor a drink to keep them happy. Athletics Tasmania has in the past year received much appreciated financial benefit from IGA, Tasmanian Government, Cadbury, the University of Tasmania, The Running Edge, UTAS, Gold Coast Airport Marathon, SKINS, Moorilla, Telstra, Hobart City Council and Banjo’s. Further to that, there were many who provided in kind product to events and programs, for which we are very thankful. The other most significant change to our sport in the past 12 months has been the explosion of social media. Teenagers have been all over this for a few years now and only in the past year has it become crucial for associations like Athletics Tasmania to be involved also. In December Athletics Tasmania launched ‘Tas Athletes’ on facebook and within an hour had 70 friends. We now have near on 600 friends and it has become one of our more popular promotional properties. In fact it is so important that Athletics Australia now established a “digital review committee” which is looking at all things digital including websites, facebook, twitter, email databases, youtube and any future opportunities to promote the sport. One final thing I’m excited about, is the national re-launch of Running Australia. So excited in fact, that my role at Athletics Tasmania now also includes managing the Running Australia program for Athletics Australia. Running Australia, through its brand ‘irun’ is all about engaging with participants in recreational running events throughout Australia. If you haven’t checked it out already, have a look at www.irun.org.au.

ATHLETICS SOUTH REPORT 2010-2011

It is pleasing to note that the Winter Season athlete numbers continue to increase. The Summer Season athlete numbers are about static to the previous year. Equipment has remained high on our agenda this year, and into next. Detailed inventory suggests a number of new purchases and these have been effected. Congratulations to; - athletes that have obtained one or more personal best performances over the year. - athletes who earned state and national selection. - coaches who in all weather, continue to encourage and develop athletes to reach goals. - officials and helpers that ensure weekly interclub and other meets are successful. Jo Cherry has decided to ‘retire’ from weekly interclub events, but will be with us from time to time. Thank you, Jo for the many years of dedicated service to athletics in Tasmania. Weekly interclub continues to function smoothly, however there is an urgent need for new officials and helpers. The Board is working with Athletics Tasmania to have several “officials training” sessions at the DAC. Please refer to the Athletics South website for these dates, and make an effort to attend. The highlight socially for the year was celebrating with Eastern Suburbs Life Member, George Norris, his 100

th birthday. Congratulations again George.

Special thanks to all Athletics South board members for your dedication, support and enthusiasm. To retiring members Jess Palermo and Michelle O’Leary, thank you for your contributions to Athletics South and athletes. To all sponsors, we thank you. To our major sponsor, Bennett’s Petroleum, thank you for your ongoing support for athletes in Southern Tasmania. Thanks also to Sportsco, and the Hobart City Council, for without your support our athletes would not have the opportunity to compete weekly with quality equipment.

Steve Wass PRESIDENT

NORTHERN BRANCH (NBAAT) REPORT 2010-2011 Firstly I would like to congratulate all athletes, - those who were selected to represent Australia, their state or club, medal winners at nationals and state championships, to those that achieved PBs and competed at interclub. As this has been my first year as president it has been very much a learning year and I must thank the Board for their support. There have been some very tedious tasks completed. Thanks to the following people: Sue McClenaghan took on the task for completing an overhaul of the northern best performance list. Going back over the past 15 years or so, finding out when weights of throws implements & hurdle heights changed and then going through the athlete’s performances, to ascertain the NBPs and archiving the old results cannot have been easy. Michelle Heron for taking on the role as our AT board member and also being on the track & field commission along with Sue. Michelle fought very hard for the statewide interclub series and whilst there may have been some teething issues I feel that this concept, after talking to the athletes about it, should be followed through as stand-alone events and spread throughout the season, not just over a 4 week block. Michelle also spent nearly every week in the photo finish.

11

Anne Smith for taking on the task as secretary for the first time and being in the entry room every week with Kay Knee. The entry room is quite hectic in the first hour of interclub but for these ladies to get the athletes entered and the results completed by the end of competition, well done. Those athletes that helped in getting equipment out, packing up hurdles after their races etc - it is something that I don’t like having to ask to be done but unfortunately due to insufficient helpers this needs to be done. Amanda Wadley for taking on the role of our canteen manager. A task that is vital to our fund raising. Hopefully Amanda will be able to continue in this role next year. We have a great new acquisition in the pole vault bag thanks to Andrew Willis. I know that it has been far from user friendly but hopefully this will be rectified shortly. One thing that does concern me greatly is the drop off in athlete registrations, especially the athletes competing after Christmas. Is it because the season is to long - October through to mid April? Are we listening to what the athletes want, rather that imposing on them what we tell them they want? Are we competing on the right day? Another concern from around the state is that sometimes the focus of the events appears to be on the coaches or officials, not on the athletes themselves and maybe we need to put ourselves back into the background. Hopefully next year we can improve on the previous.

Wim Vaessen PRESIDENT

NORTH WEST ATHLETIC CLUB REPORT 2010-2011

In submitting the 2010-11 Presidents Report I am pleased to be able to say that again we have had a profitable season on and off the field of play. As President personally and on behalf of the club I would like to thank my fellow office bearers and committee people for their generosity of time and goodwill shown throughout the year. Special thanks to our sponsors Gerald Oldaker Financial Services and Simplot Australia. Both have been very supportive of our club for many years and I feel we could be more proactive in promoting their respective brands in our area. We currently have a healthy bank balance due in no small part to the efforts and energy of our Secretary/Treasurer Phil Clayton. All club administrators know that if you have someone that can master this position you are half way to success. Phil is also Branch Representative at State level, has offered the club his workplace for meetings and is the best barbeque chef known to man - thanks Phil. The Club’s cash cow is our canteen, and in a 16 meet season to achieve a gross of just under $9,000 delivering a $500 dollars plus per week average to club coffers. Given the size of the club this is an extraordinary performance and puts the club in a strong financial position again this year. It takes sound management skills, thought, time and energy, the ability to vary the product according to the client base, variety and great presentation in a clean welcoming environment to operate this very important part of

12

the club. Maryanne - in short we have never had it so good and without your efforts we would not be in the sound position we find ourselves - so thank you. Congratulations to Mike Gunson on many fronts, firstly as a coach at atate and national level you have had great success. This brings profile to your squad and also to the North West Athletics Club. We have become more media worthy as a club this year than we have for some time due to your efforts. The cross country side of the club was regenerated through your efforts, and I am sure with Phil as wingman and the committee in tow where possible, it will achieve greater heights this coming season. The out of stadium course management and measurement qualification you acquired will in time be of great benefit to this area and the club. As President I could not speak highly enough of the success and positive energy you have bought to the club this year. Well done does not seem enough. Towards the end of this season we were advised by Athletics Tasmania that our camera and timing equipment was no longer a fully recognised system. A camera and timing mechanism of the type needed to bring the club up to at least national standard is going to cost the club $30-50.000, top of the range Olympic models are $100,000. If we are to hold State meets or even consider club or State records we cannot conduct a properly authorised meet until a new system is installed. As a committee we are currently seeking Government support from varied agencies and sourcing sponsorship so as not to completely devastate our finances. I feel that we must view this news as an opportunity. Consistently benchmarking and evaluating equipment is a natural form of progression and is needed to align all branches with national standards, and should also lend credibility to the club’s long term future and profitability. If we are able to purchase such a system I feel we need to (by necessity) see this acquisition as an investment and give consideration to any financial return possible that this equipment may offer outside normal North West Athletic Club application and requirements. Special thank you to Trent and Kathy Nichols and Leigh Monson - each has played an integral part in the success of this club. Despite shift work commitments or working away each finds time to get to as many monthly meetings and weekend club meets as possible. Each has great administrative and practical skills, and our club continues to reach for their resourcefulness particularly when undertaking a review or analysing new systems. In genuine terms these are three ripper people who continue to assist and develop because they are a genuine part of it, and enjoy each small success and simply see joy in young people doing well. These are people that know the meaning of the word ‘club’. Finally congratulations to our athletes many of whom set personal bests times and or performed well at state or national level. For many this was indeed a breakthrough season. We are indeed fortunate that we have parents that are ever ready to give support at site level as well as prepare and support their family for the onslaught of another season, thank you to all.

STATE PERFORMANCE REPORT 2010-2011 The 2010/11 TIS year saw a total of five athletes included as full scholarship holders in the track and field program from 1 July 2010. Tristan Thomas(AIS) - 400mH; Hamish Peacock – Javelin; Huw Peacock - Hammer Throw; Danni McConnell - Hammer Throw; and Kaitlin Morgan - High and Triple Jump. Several other young athletes are pressing for selection as Institute Scholarship holders. 2010/11 was a transitional year for the program which saw it move closer to alignment with the National High Performance Program set by Athletics Australia. Our most successful athlete of recent years Donna MacFarlane retired from international competition after a career which saw her medal at Commonwealth Games and set an Australian record in the steeplechase which will be very hard to surpass. Canberra-based Tristan Thomas battled a serious foot injury for most of the year which prevented him from competing in the domestic season. He was also not able to compete at the Commonwealth Games in India but now appears to have overcome this problem and recent performances are encouraging for this international season and leading into the Olympic year. Previous scholarship holder, Daniel Coleman has moved back to Tasmania and we hope that he will regain the form which saw him as Australia’s number 1 junior race walker. Another previous scholarship holder Ryan Foster, who is currently living in the USA, is also competing very well and pressing for selection in upcoming teams. Hamish Peacock is now over the elbow injuries which has hampered his progress and had some very encouraging performances during the domestic season. Hamish’s TIS support will now be focussed on linking him with national coaches to help take him to the next level. He finished the year in the top three ranked javelin throwers in Australia. Huw Peacock was still battling some problems associated with his knee surgery but still made progress with several personal best performances especially throwing the senior weight hammer. Danni McConnell’s highlight was a series of national age record in the hammer throw - this time at under 18 level. She now holds the national under 16 and 18 records and her excellent domestic season saw her selected in the 2011 World Youth Championships to be held in July in France. Danni has been included at Tier 2 level in the Athletics Australia’s Target Talent Program which groups the sport’s most talented junior athletes to receive specific assistance. Kaitlin Morgan joins Danni in France following her excellent domestic performances where she attained the world number 1 youth ranking in high jump. Max Waldron also qualified for the World Youth team also but was not available for selection because of study commitments. He was, however, selected in the Commonwealth Youth Games Team at the Isle of Man in September. Two other Tasmanians, Abbey de la Motte – 400m, and Mikayla Genge- Hammer Throw, join him on that team. As mentioned before, the program has undergone some changes in line with developments in AA’s High Performance Program. Our scholarships reflect standards and groupings in line with the AA’s Peak Performance and Target Talent Programs. The TIS program is also developing a select group of targeted development athletes in targeted event areas with specific support aimed at them attaining senior representative level. My involvement with several events camps with the National Relay Development Program is an example of the National Organisation and State Institutes working closer to achieve long term results. The TIS Track and Field Program continues to have a productive and supportive relationship with Richard Welsh and Simon Bennett from AT especially with our support of the AT/TIS Development Squad now known as Team ATIS. We maintain our close ties with the ATFCA (Tasmanian Branch) through regular event clinics. A number of clinics were held in 2010-11 across many event groups. The second edition of “Hammerfest” – the national hammer throwing camp was very successful and is known as nation-leading in the way all parts of track and field work together to hold an event which advances the development of a specific discipline. It has a great influence on our developing group of throwers. Evan Peacock has worked very hard to ensure the success of this event. This year saw the attendance of many of the legends of Australian hammer Throwing. Planning has already commenced for next year’s activity.

TRACK AND FIELD REPORT 2010-2011

The 2010-11 Track and Field season was another great season for both Tasmanian athletes and Tasmanian athletics. The track and field season in Tasmania began in October with a plethora of school events, locally, the Schools Knockout events were again a great success and the honours were shared between both northern and southern schools in gaining selection to move on to the National Final in Doncaster, Victoria in December. During December, the Australian All Schools Track and Field Championships were held in a revised format in Doncaster, Victoria. Tasmania had a great meeting with five athletes winning a total of eight National Championships. Gold medallists were Danielle McConnell (U18 Hammer), Kaitlin Morgan (U16 High Jump), Mikayla Genge (U16 Hammer), James Hansen (U18 1500m) and Jacob Birtwhistle ( U16 1500, 3000 and 2000 steeple). Sandy Bay Harriers athlete Ryan Foster continued his assault on the record books, historically this year becoming the first Tasmanian to break the 4-minute mile with a run of 3:58.49 in January, at an indoor meet at Pennsylvania, USA. Foster’s run broke Randall Markey’s 37 year old state mile record of 4:00.9. Coincidentally, both Markey and Foster were initially coached by the late Max Cherry OAM. In February, the Briggs Athletics Classic drew many big name athletes including Queensland sprinter and hurdler Sally Pearson, US shot put star Reese Hoffa and emerging Australian middle distance man, Jeff Riseley. Unfortunately the running events were hampered by cold and windy conditions so performances were below the hopes of many, although the competition was of a high standard. The meet highlights included the Tasmanian Allcomers record performances of Reese Hoffa (USA) with 21.08m in the Shot Put and Henry Frayne (Qld) leaping 16.91 m in the Triple Jump. The Tasmanian club championships were held in Penguin and saw Northern Suburbs defeat Eastern Suburbs for the women’s title while Sandy Bay Harriers narrowly won the men’s event from Eastern Suburbs. In the combined under 17 event, OVA were victorious. The Greg Blake Shied for the overall combined club championships award was awarded to Northern Suburbs. The Tasmanian team again excelled at the Australian Junior Athletics Championships in Sydney in March. At the end of four days of competition, seven Tasmanian athletes walked away with ten national championships, with the national champions being; Kaitlin Morgan (OVA - U18 high jump), Jacob Birtwhistle (Riverside - U17 1500m and 3000m), Kale Adams (North West – U16 2000m steeplechase), Danielle McConnell (Eastern Suburbs – U18 and U20 hammer), Mikayla Genge (OVA – U17 hammer), Samuel Alderson (Newstead Harriers – U15 hammer), Russell Taib (OVA – U14 100 and 200m). Danielle McConnell and Kaitlin Morgan were rewarded for their outstanding seasons with selection in the Australian Team for the 2011 World Youth Championships. By the end of the season Danielle McConnell had extended her Australian U18 hammer throw record to 57.83 m. The IGA Tasmania Track & Field Championships returned to a single weekend format in Hobart, with great success. Performances and competition over many disciplines was of a very high standard across many age groups. Danielle McConnell and Hamish Peacock were named athletes of the meet for outstanding individual performances. Northern Suburbs won the women’s Kohl shield and Eastern Suburbs took out the Hobart Harrier Cup for the most successful men’s club at the Tasmanian Championships.

ATHLETES’ COMMISSIONER’S REPORT 2010-2011 2010-11 was another in a recent series of growth and developmental seasons for Tasmanian athletics. The continued growth in both the quality of performances and enthusiasm for the sport has been a real theme and highlight for the period, and hopefully this can continue for some time to rejuvenate the sport. On behalf of all athletes, may I start by thanking the many on-site officials, marshals, technical assistants and other volunteers who give up their precious time on weekends and countless other days doing other thankless tasks involved in administering our sport at the highly effective level it currently runs. Without them our competitions do not happen, and we are grateful for every minute put in for us. This season saw the innovative Statewide interclub series utilised as a means to encourage more links between the three regions of the state. Overall, the meets were declared a great success, with many of the state’s athletes jumping at the chance to make a trip out of their athletics weekend. Tasmania’s junior state teams again fielded strong interstate presences, with the uniquely Tasmanian spirit engendered in our athletes shining through in the way they conducted themselves on and off the track. They were an absolute credit to the State, and each and every single member should be congratulated for their sportsmanship and application at all championships. In terms of performance, there were many highlights from the junior national track and field championships. Kaitlin Morgan had a particularly memorable high jump competition in Sydney in March in recording a six cm PB, Russel Taib won the 100m/200m double in the U14 age group most unexpectedly, Mathew Hosie cashed in with an enormous PB to clinch a discus silver at the Primary School Championships, the under 20 boys 4x100m (Andrew Robinson, Sam Henley, Jarrod Gilroy and Charlie Leek) displayed sheer heroics, and perennial favourite and Tasmanian co-captain Jess Morey broke through for her first national medal in the 800m. Tasmania also recorded its best performance at a National Cross Country championship in many years thanks to the efforts of Binyam Hagos, James Hansen and Pat Smith. This was followed up by fourth placings from Natalea Smith, Pat Smith, Getasew Ferguson and Tessa Johns. There were countless other fantastic results from all championships (unfortunately, too many to name in this report), but the most impressive aspect of the results was the spread across all disciplines. The senior National Track and Field Championships also featured Tasmania’s largest participation for many years, with some Tasmanians making finals and Hamish Peacock and Danni McConnell being within centimetres of making the podium in their respective pet events. AT’s recent focus on junior development is beginning to come through after a relatively barren period for national-level senior competitors (apart from a few elite-level athletes such as Donna MacFarlane and Tristan Thomas), and with the introduction of Team ATIS just prior to the State Championships this good work and critical support will be continued. Tasmanian athletes also went away for several development camps, on both a state and national level (through the shadow, talent and development squads). The distance camp held in Coles Bay and the more general St Helens development camp were absolute successes, once again providing a great opportunity for athletes to mingle and forge links through the sport. The social aspect of track and field is one of the key reasons for the continued participation by athletes, and is a highly positive component of what makes our sport great. Finally, Tasmanian athletes’ international representation has been outstanding this season. Danni McConnell and Kaitlin Morgan were selected in the World Youth Championships Team. Rebecca Direen was also selected in the Australian team for the Oceania Regional Championships, and there is a distinct possibility of a strong Tasmanian contingent in the Commonwealth Games Youth team. Overall, Tasmanian athletes have enjoyed an outstanding season. It is with the support of our coaches, officials and fellow competitors that we can continue to grow this sport, and the future looks very bright and exciting for Tasmanian athletics. Let’s keep up the good work and look forward to strong and successful 2011-12.

OUT OF STADIUM 2010-11

The 2010/11 Out of Stadium (OOS) calendar started with the Bootcamp Tasmanian Short Course Cross Country around the Queens Domain in Hobart. This event was again held in conjunction with Athletics South, drawing huge numbers from the south of the state. Fresh from the track season there were some fast races in both the men’s and women’s events. In June 2010, the Banjo’s Tasmanian Road Running Championships were held together with the Tasmanian Road Walking Championships in Campbell Town. Numbers were very low in both events and subsequently it was decided that the long course championships will be held in conjunction with the B&E Launceston Ten in 2011, to hopefully improve both quality and participation. Many of the competing athletes participated in the AT Distance Camp held at Port Sorrell for several days after this event. These camps continue to provide our distance athletes with additional knowledge and some camaraderie to improve both the quality and participation in OOS events, particularly amongst school age athletes. The IGA Tasmanian Primary and Secondary Schools Cross Country at Symmons Plains again saw massive participation. The weather and conditions were wintery as usual, making for a tough course and some muddy kids. The Northern Branch once again made huge contribution in making these events a continued success and being labelled “the largest cross country event in Australia” and “Tasmania’s largest school sporting event”. Many of these athletes went on to represent Athletics Tasmania at the Australian Cross Country Championships in Brisbane, where we had several medalists and some quality performances. The popular Pontville course, was again used for the 2010 Tasmanian Cross Country Championships. There were 200 participants in this event and some great races over all age groups from under age to masters, who run their championships in conjunction with the AT championship. The 2011 IAAF Race Walking Challenge which incorporated the Oceania and Australian 20km Championships held on the Hobart waterfront built on its successful inaugural event in 2010, drawing more international athletes to the start line and is set to continue in 2012. The state mountain running championships were again held in conjunction with Endorfun on the trails of Mt. Wellington. The event was well attended by a wide selection of the distance fraternity, with the winner Jordan Harries, going on to win a silver medal at the Australian Mountain Running Championships in 2011. The Cadbury Marathon and Half Marathon which doubles as the State Championship, once again saw increased numbers and quality fields, which continues to provide a great platform for these championships. The inaugural Run Devonport was the host of the 2010/11 Tasmanian Short Course road titles and participation was good, for an event in its first year. There were some great results throughout the age groups, but the races did lack some depth. There will be a course change in 2012 which should make for a more scenic and fast flat course for future championships. Since returning to the state 12 months ago after living overseas and taking on this position earlier this year, I am excited to contribute to the sport that has given me so much and in particular the OOS component, where I believe I have a lot to offer as both a club athlete, masters athlete and administrator and look forward to its continued growth throughout the state, in both participation and producing quality athletes.

RACE WALKING REPORT 2010-2011 The 2010 road season was once again a successful one for the Club, with many athletes achieving success. Numbers are increasing every year and we hope that these will further increase in the future. It is very pleasing to see that we are starting to see the rewards of walkers from the north and north west of the State, with many attending the Saturday winter walk competition meets and State competitions. There is still much more work to be done, although slowly and steadily we are creating awareness within the State. Thanks to Michelle Heron and David Taylor for their support with race walking in the North. David Taylor will soon be undergoing his coaches’ course to further assist in this great event, although I am still coaching via correspondence to the walkers in the north. Special thanks must go to Daniel Coleman and Stephanie Stigwood for their mentoring and assistance to our younger walkers, they held in high regard by the juniors who hope to succeed in the future as they did. Thanks also to Owen Hunt for his help in assisting me with coaching; it certainly makes life easier with more hands. Once again our walkers at Race Walking Tasmania have been busy, in trying to achieve the best possible outcome. Our masters athletes have been exceptionally busy, and our numbers at the winter walks have been promising. Brian Horton has been a new master’s addition to our walks within Tasmanian and it is great to see him travel to Hobart for competition. David Moore continues to be a wonderful role model for our athletes as does Wayne Fletcher. We still have our younger athletes climbing up the competition ladder very nicely, and performing admirably, with another full winter season in training. Sophie Eberhardt, Tahlia Hunt, Louis Rose, Jemma Smith , Megan Guy and Sarah Guy, travelled to Canberra last year where they competed in the Australian Federation Race Walk Championships, with all our walkers performing well in their events. Sophie Eberhardt was successful in winning the 16 year girls handicap trophy, Tahlia Hunt third U14 and Louis Rose second in the U14. Jemma Smith, Sarah Guy and Megan Guy all performed well, with many achieving huge personal bests. Race Walking Tasmania were also very pleased to have come sixth out of ten in Australian Postal Challenge, which was a great feat given the size of the club. Newer additions to the team of walkers who have a tremendous future in the sport include, Rachelle Taylor, Emma Walker and Arabella Phillips from Launceston. Louis Rose, Tahlia Hunt and Sophie Eberhardt continue to impress, with both Louis and Sophie winning national walks medals in their respective events. We look forward to the junior walks team’s results over the coming months. We were also fortunate to have a walks clinic during the season with well known walks coach Dave Smith from Queensland, with our walkers improving all, the time. Our walkers are also continuing to win top three national medals in the summer track season. Race Walking Tasmania look forward to a new and positive year to come and I must end by thanking all associated with the club for being so supportive to this growing area within Tasmanian athletics.

LIST OF OFFICERS: PRESIDENT - Evan Peacock; VICE PRESIDENT - Peter McDonald; SECRETARY - Wayne Mason; TREASURER - Jy Webb; COMMITTEE - Kevin Alomes, Darrel Harington (Course Coordinator & National Delegate), Damian Lawler, Mick Gunson, Rex Morriss;, EX OFFICIO - Peter Fortune (TIS T&F State Performance Coordinator) 2. MEMBERSHIP:

Branch membership at December 31 2010 was 48 (61 at December 31 last year).

3. COACHING COURSES: General

Darrel Harington has continued his excellent work organising coaching courses around the state in conjunction with Athletics Tasmania.

Darrel has also been an active participant, on behalf of the Branch, in the transition of coach education from ATFCA to Athletics Australia and in the development of the new coach accreditation framework. He participated in specific workshops in Canberra and Sydney on the development of the new Beginning Coach Course (AA level 1) and the new level 2 course.

Darrel’s work was recognised in November when he was appointed to the Athletics Australia Coaching Advisory Committee.

The ATFCA (Tas Branch), in partnership with Athletics Tasmania, has agreed to seek accreditation as a course education provider under the new framework.

Mick Poulton, Athletics Australia National Coaching Manager visited on 26 August to meet with coaches and provide an update on Coach Accreditation and Education.

Introduction to Coaching Courses

No courses were held during this year. Level I and II Coaching Courses

17 people successfully undertook the level 1 coaching courses conducted in Hobart and Launceston during June. These were the final level 1 courses conducted under the previous format.

4. MEETINGS:

The Annual General Meeting was held at the Black Buffalo Hotel on March 27, 2010.

Branch Committee Meetings were held on February 4, February 25, May 27, June 24, August 26, September 23, October 28 and December 9.

The Branch has had a representative at the monthly meetings of Athletics South. Following affiliation with Athletics Tasmania in July the Secretary has been a delegate to the Athletics Tasmania Board meetings and the President has been a member of the Athletics Tasmania Track and Field Commission.

The President attended the Association’s Annual General Meeting which was held concurrently with the National Open Track and Field Championships in Perth.

5. COACH EDUCATION:

The inaugural Hammerfest organised by Peter Fortune and Evan Peacock was deemed a great success and has provided the basis of a model for repeats not only for hammer but other events as well. Held in Launceston over the Australia Day Long Weekend, January 23 -26, 2010 attendees included many of Australia’s top hammer throwers. Coaches included Matt Horneman and Stuart Rendell. AIS Strength and Conditioning Consultant Emily Nolan provided a hands-on gym session. Mick Poulton AA National Coaching Manager also attended. A second Hammerfest is planned for Hobart in February 2011.

A Steeplechase Clinic was conducted by Youcef Abdi on February 13 at the DAC. Youcef was in Hobart for the Briggs Athletic Classic on 12 February.

The TIS provided funding for a Walks Clinic conducted by Dave Smith on 29, 30 May. The co-ordination of the clinic was undertaken by Rosemary Coleman. During his visit Dave was also guest speaker at the annual Athletics South presentation evening.

A distance camp based around the AT/TIS Development squad was conducted at Camp Banksia, Port Sorell in early June and was reasonably successful despite a clash with Uni exams. There were approximately 15 participants. Sarah Jamieson and Tim O’Shaughnessy also participated. Camp Banksia proved to be a good location.

22

A Power Camp conducted 12 – 15 September was also based around the AT/TIS Development squad. The Camp had a horizontal jumps focus with John Boas and Bohdan Babijczuk in attendance. Gus Puopolo also participated in the Camp along with a number of local coaches. The Camp was successful with approximately 28 participants who used the DAC Function Centre as a base for sleep, dining and presentations.

The assistance of the TIS, and particularly Peter Fortune, in facilitating the coaching initiatives listed above is greatly appreciated.

Wayne Holt initiated mentoring sessions for northern coaches conducted by Peter Fortune.

With clubs now recruiting athletes as young as 10, concern has been expressed that some of these athletes are being referred to existing coaches. This is placing pressure on coaches in relation to duty of care and often results in the younger athletes requiring supervision to the detriment of the coaching of more senior athletes. Clubs have been requested to put structures in place to provide club coaching for these younger athletes. The new accreditation framework provides an ideal opportunity for this through the education of new coaches.

6. GENERAL:

The Branch entered the new year with new faces in the executive group. Evan Peacock (President), Wayne Mason (Secretary) and Jy Webb (Treasurer) took on their positions after the retirement of the previous occupants Kevin Alomes, Peter McDonald and Tamara Allender.

Branch membership dropped from 61 in 2009/10 to 48 in 2010/11. It is unclear whether this decline is fully attributable to coaches now being able to directly affiliate with Athletics Australia however this is likely to be a major contributing factor. Coaches are encouraged to maintain their ATFCA membership as their representative body and receive the many benefits including, receiving the publications – Modern Athlete and Coach, and the ATFCA Newsletters, access to the National Coaching Congress and other seminars and workshops; discounted coaching resources and more.

As advised elsewhere, the Branch re-affiliated with Athletics Tasmania after an absence of several years. Affiliation provides the opportunity for a Branch delegate to attend AT Board Meetings and have input to the decision making process. It is a valuable opportunity to represent the interests of the coaching fraternity and their athletes and cements an already close working relationship within the state.

A Branch representative has also been invited to participate on the AT Track and Field Commission which is responsible for the direct planning of the competition calendar..

The TIS has awarded five scholarships as part of the 2010/11 program, the athletes being Tristan Thomas, Hamish Peacock, Huw Peacock, Danielle McConnell and Kaitlin Morgan. These include two senior athletes and three development/emerging talent athletes. The scholarships will be individualised depending on the needs of each athlete.

After it appeared a stalemate had been reached in the push for an indoor training centre at the DAC a breakthrough was achieved and the Tin Shed was turned over for use in July. While the conditions attached are such that the space has to be freed up for several events during the year, which is less than ideal, such agreement was necessary to achieve the breakthrough. While there are ongoing management issues, by and large, the space is operating satisfactorily and is a substantial improvement on the previous venue. Coaches are encouraged to consider making greater use of the facility.

A State-wide Track and Field Coaches Conference to be auspiced by ATFCA with support from AT and TIS has been proposed.

The awards for the year 2009-2010 were announced by the President of Athletics Tasmania, Brian Roe, at Athletics Tasmania’s Annual General Meeting on July 31 2010. The Max Cherry Memorial Coach of the Year was awarded to Evan Peacock and the recipient of the Contribution to Coaching Award was Peter McDonald. Peter Brett received the Emerging Coach Award.

The Winter Throws Competition at the DAC continued successfully this year, with the assistance of a dedicated group of officials and helpers.

Good relations and good communication have been maintained with National Office and we thank Glynis for her ready assistance.

Communications to members have generally taken the form of emails forwarded on to the relative event groups with emails of general interest forwarded to the newsletter email list. Some mail-outs have been made to coaches not on the internet. Items have again been provided for the quarterly ATFCA NEWS.
