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 often in partnership with the Australian Sports
Commission supported us in many ways in 2013/14 – including the development project
grants national insurance and state performance programs, and in the hosting once again of
four national events during the report period.
The major sponsors of the Tasmanian Marathon Festival, Cadbury, along with many other
sponsors and supporters helped us deliver the thirty first edition of this continually growing
event.
The Launceston City Council provided us with support to enable the sport to successfully
stage the Australian Cross Country Championships. We thank all our sponsors and supporters
for their generous assistance:

PRESIDENT’S AND BOARD REPORT 2013-14
Following on from a very successful year in 2012/2013 during 2013/2014, Athletics Tasmania has had a
year that where it has consolidated its position. Registrations in the South of the state were very strong
once again. In particular out of stadium registrations continue to be very positive. Both the North and
North West had issues with registrations. The North West dropped in registration numbers due to the
redevelopment of the track at Penguin which meant it was not available for the first half of the season.
Performances were strong with Hamish Peacock and Tristan Thomas representing Australia at the IAAF
World Championships in Moscow. Deon Kenzie competed at the International Paralympic World
Championships in Lyon where he won a bronze medal. From national championship level through to
local inter club competition was strong.
We report as we did last year against the nine objectives in our Strategic Plan 2011-2014 expanding on
these and other achievements and outlining the challenges we continue to face in remaining relevant
and becoming more appealing to existing and potential constituencies.
1 Re-establishing athletics as an activity of choice for Tasmanians:
It was pleasing to note solid competition from under age competition through to masters’ competition
continued to be very strong across the state. Tasmania Masters hosted the Australian Championships in
Hobart in early 2013 and the event was an outstanding success.
It was very disappointing that the merger of Little Athletics Australia and Athletics Australia did not
eventuate. AT strongly supported the merger and believed it would have had been beneficial for all
Tasmanian athletes. Unfortunately it may be many years before this option is again presented.
AT continues to drive inter-school athletic activity at both primary and secondary level within its limited
available resources to do so, continuing to support and service SATIS, Southern High Schools and
PSST carnivals as well as continuing to deliver its own schools events in cross country, track and field
and most importantly the SKO competitions around the state. This last year AT, via its Northern and
North West branches and clubs, also increased it services to schools in these regions.
The Cadbury Marathon Festival once again continued to service the needs of the recreational runners
around Tasmania and Australia. The numbers continue to grow and with the inclusion of a new event
the numbers should continue to keep rising.
Our media and communication strategy continues to achieve good outcomes with excellent recognition
in print, radio and television and a broad social media program which pleasingly is engaged by an
extensive cross section of the Tasmanian athletics family in a responsible and encouraging manner.
2 Developing athletes’, coaches’, officials’, administrators’ and volunteers’ level of skill,
knowledge and competence in athletics
AT had limited success with this objective. Upgrading the coaches and officials already qualified
proceeded well but recruiting new coaches and officials was a problem. While a number of coaching and
officials course were held during the course of the year we are yet to see real positive outcomes in some
of the areas.
We will continue to take a strong approach to marketing these in future. We need to take a stronger role
in working with coaches and officials once they have become qualified. This is an area where clubs can
become more active.
The key with developing new coaches seems to be involving the new coaches in an established
coaching program where they can be mentored. AT Board member Nicky Ristrom has taken on a very
active role in co-ordinating and conducting coach education
3 Motivating and recognising coaches, officials, administrators and volunteers at all levels of
athletics who provide quality training and support environments
Only two clubs remain to undergo the development plan process. It is anticipated that by the end of
2014 all clubs will have a development plan in place.
2
Service given to the sport in Tasmania continues to be recognised and appreciated through the
Association’s awards system and beyond. The Board is working on the Athletics Tasmania Hall of Fame
to acknowledge national representatives and champions at open level. It is anticipated this will be in
place early in 2015.
4 Providing quality competition and participation opportunities at all levels:
AT,with the assistance of the branches and hard-working local organising committees, successfully
hosted a number of national events including the All Schools and Australian Cross Country
Championships, IAAF Race Walk Challenge/Oceania and Australian 20km Walks Championships and
the Briggs Athletics Classic.
The All Schools and Australian Cross Country Championships was an outstanding success with a large
number of interstate athletes attending. The Briggs Athletics Classic worked closely with Little Athletics
Tasmania and conducted a number of relay events. This was very successful and engaged the younger
athletes in a very positive and supportive manner. In all events the feedback from participants and other
visitors was most positive. We thank the Launceston City Council, Events Tasmania and DSR for their
support of our events hosting program.
Wayne Fletcher and Kev Morse continued their fine work in managing our records and rankings
programs which are now well established and working efficiently.
AT continues to work closely with recreational running operators in Tasmania to assist in quality delivery
of and support for their events. Both the Australian and Tasmanian 10km road running championships
were very successfully delivered in co-operation with Events South at the Launceston Ten.
5 Capitalising on the high quality of facility development for athletics in each of Tasmania’s three
regions:
The re-laying of the Penguin Track and the addition of new support buildings and training lights and the
extension of the covered seating area was completed in early 2014. At the official opening the
contribution from the Central Coast Council, the financial assistance of the Federal Government and the
drive and persistence of our own Phil Clayton was applauded.
Work has continued both at the Domain and St Leonards on a number of minor projects that will benefit
athletes into the future. AS and NBAAT are in discussions with the Hobart and Launceston City Councils
respectively in regards the relaying of their tracks. There is the distinct possibility that the relaying of the
tracks will occur one after the other as early as the summer of 2015 or more likely the summer of 2016.
6 Building relationships with kindred bodies, the general community, government at all levels,
the education system, the business community and the media:
AT has maintained regular contact and strong relationships with government during the year.
Sponsorship levels increased during the year. IGA, Cadbury and Macquarie Accounting remained as
major sponsors. Cadbury Marathon was an outstanding success with record numbers and with the
introduction of new events it also introduced a number of new sponsors.
Under the strong and effective leadership of Aaron Humphrey (selection) and Rosemary Coleman (team
management) our state teams program continues to be successful and we have supported all AA and
SSA championships with excellent outcomes both in terms of medals and personal best results. We
appreciate the skills and commitment of the growing pool of talent serving as state team selectors and
officials.
I would like to thank the AT board members, AT officers and team officials for their contribution during
this past year. I would also like to thank the excellent AT staff for their dedication - thank you Fiona
Plummer, Peter Fortune and Simon Bennett.

NORTH WEST ATHLETIC CLUB REPORT 2013-2014
.
The 2013 – 14 season which was only 3 months duration has been an exciting time for the North West
Athletic Club with the completion of the track refurbishment and construction of new facilities namely
canteen/function area, photo finish operations building, extension to undercover seating area and
installation of lighting for track and infield events.
Opening day being held on 26th January 2014 with Federal and State politicians attending alongside
Central Coast Councillors, Athletics Tasmania officers and local sporting club representatives which
featured the Tasmanian 3000 metres championships which gave us an opportunity to showcase some
of Tasmania’s high level athletes.
I would like to thank the Federal Government through the Regional District Area Funding Program and
the Central Coast Council for their initiative in upgrading this facility.
Welcome to the new athletes that have joined the NWAC and to those athletes that were
representatives in State Teams and for those that competed at National and International level.
Thank you to Marianne Yates for her time and energy in operating our canteen on Interclub days and
also School Carnivals.
It is with regret that Grant Whiley has advised that he will be resigning from the Club to take up a
position with one of his other favourite local sporting bodies. Grant has been involved with athletics for in
excess of 20 years with Little Athletics and the NWAC and has been a driving force for the development
of the NWAC since its inception in 1991.
At time of writing it is with great news that the NWAC has been granted the opportunity to host the
School Sport Australia 12 and Under National Championships at Penguin in November 2014. Thank you
to Athletics Tasmania and School Sport Australia for this opportunity.
Finally I would like to thank our officials, coaches, parents and athletes in their professionalism in their
roles, assistance with events and representation of the NWAC.

ATHLETICS SOUTH REPORT 2013-2014
It is pleasing to report that we have had another successful year with good participation numbers
competing in both the cross country and track & field programs.
A great year for our elite athletes with many achieving State and National selections. Although none
achieved an ‘A’ qualifier for automatic Commonwealth Games selection, their performances indicate that
top selection was within grasp with ‘B’ qualifiers to be added to the Australian team when announced in
June. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
Congratulations to : - athletes achieving one or more personal best performances this year,
- athletes achieving state / national selection,
- coaches for continued encouragement and development of athletes,
- officials and helpers who ensure weekly interclub and other special meets are
successfully completed.
This year some 33 separate day events were conducted for Track & Field program.
This year Athletics Australia presented Life Membership to Athletics South Executive Director Helen Lee
for her outstanding contribution to Athletics. On behalf of us all at Athletics South, we congratulate you
Helen and thank you for your outstanding contribution to our sport.
Board members have worked tirelessly to provide athletes with every opportunity, using the best
equipment available. Thank you to all Board members for your dedication, support and enthusiasm.
This year our Officials were ‘stretched to the limit’ in their endeavours to provide efficient meets. We
desperately require more helpers and officials if we are to continue to provide successful weekly
interclub, State and National meets.
Please offer your services as a helper / official in the coming year. That hour here, or a day a month,
would be appreciated and ensure a regular timetable of events for our athletes. Full training and support
will be provided to all.
To our ‘Gold’ sponsors Bennett’s Petroleum (Track & Field) and The Running Edge (Cross Country),
along with the Hobart City Council, thank you for your continued support for athletics in Southern
Tasmania.
To all sponsors, thank you for your generous support. Without your valued sponsorship, our athletes
would not have the opportunity to compete weekly at an excellent venue with quality equipment.

NORTHERN BRANCH (NBAAT) REPORT 2013-2014
The 2013-2014 Track and Field Season saw us run our interclub programs with reduced numbers again
this season despite having less programs overall and conducting them mostly on a Saturday afternoon
or evening. Our facilities are almost all upgraded, and our photo-finish and timing equipment is state of
the art.
We successfully hosted the local and state Schools Knock Out Competition, the state Primary School
trials, a state-wide interclub, NSATIS and SATIS, and the state Combined Events Championships. We
held a successful joint competition with South Launceston Little Athletic Centre, and hope that this
provided those athletes with an insight into the senior competition, and had some members of Triathlon
Tasmania attend for distance time trials within our interclub events.
Thanks are extended once again this season to our volunteers Amanda Wadley, Merrilyn and Alan
Llewellyn who capably operated the canteen for numerous schools events, and also for the National
Cross Country event at Symmons Plains last winter.
Dean Wadley and Michael Walker organised and hosted another successful and entertaining trivia night
in February. Their efforts are to be applauded. Thank you to my small but wonderfully dedicated
committee, particularly Wim Vaessen, Mark Smith, Kay Knee, Michelle and Tim Heron, Andrew Willis
and Brian James for their time, support and tireless efforts.
Thanks are also extended to all those athletes and parents who attended working bees and our
Bunnings BBQ fundraiser. The division underneath the eastern end of the grandstand which separates
hirers and NBAAT equipment has been a wonderful innovation and has been successful in terms of
security and tidiness.
Congratulations to all athletes who participated this season and reached new personal best standards of
performance. Also congratulations to all those athletes who achieved state and/or national
representation. Particular mention is extended to those who excelled at national or international level our Peter MacMichael Award nominees: Tyler Heron, Samuel Alderson, Josh Harris and winner James
Hansen.
Mark Smith was awarded the NBAAT Bob Becker Memorial award, becoming the youngest recipient in
its history, for his years of dedication to branch activities including the successful upgrade of all our
photo finish, computers, timing equipment, and photocopier.
Finally sincere thanks are extended to all athletes, parents and officials for their assistance at each of
our athletic events. I urge everyone to support our events next season in order to build on our
participation numbers, and look forward to continued and new friendships next season.

TASMANIAN ATHLETIC LEAGUE REPORT 2013-2014
It is with pleasure that on behalf of the Tasmanian Athletic League Inc. that I present our Annual Report
for the Season 2013-2014.
Once again our season commenced in November and concluded in February. During this time there
were ten carnivals held. These were organised by the Professional Cross Country Club of Tasmania,
Launceston Carnival Committee, Central Coast Council with the assistance of the TAL, Rosebery AC,
Devonport AC, Latrobe Bicycle Race Club, Burnie AC, Hobart AC and St Helens AC.
We are very lucky to have a small but hard working group of people that keep the League running.
Firstly to our Secretary/Treasurer Glenn Foster we thank you for all your hard work done during the
year. Glenn carries out his duties in a timely and efficient manner. Not only does he keep the Council,
Clubs, and Athletes up to date with minutes and results he also collates all the on line entries to forward
to our Handicappers. Glenn’s dedication to his role goes above and beyond as after many of the
Carnivals it is nothing to receive an email with the day’s results at a very late hour. Once again a big
thank you for your continued support.
An integral part of the Carnival Series is the handicapping of the Events. I would like to thank Andrew
Willis, Harvey Jones and Glenn Foster for their support in doing these roles. As you can imagine a great
deal of time and research goes into these positions. We thank them all for their continued support and
look forward to their assistance in these roles next season.
On Carnival days we assist the clubs with many officials. These range from Stewards, Starters, Entry
Confirmation Officials, and Photo Finish. Phil Clayton from the North West Athletic Club and his team
travel the State doing the timing for all the Athletic events at the Carnivals. This assists the clubs
enormously not having to supply as many track judges and timekeepers on the day. We are extremely
lucky and grateful to have the NWAC on board and look forward to their continued support of the
League and working with them for many more seasons to come.
Brian Paine continued again this season in his role of Track Race Caller, a position he has been doing
for many years. Brian works closely with TAL Officials keeping the paying public and athletes up to date
with any changes to the programme or heats that may occur on the day. We are most grateful for the
work Brian does and we look forward to his continued support over the coming season.
I would like to thank our Patrons Alan Waddle OAM and Bevan Hutton for their continued support. To
the remainder of the League Council and the Runners and Trainers Representatives thank you all for
your work during the season.
To all our Award Winners this season I congratulate you all on the excellent results that you achieved.
I would like to take this opportunity to encourage new runners to try the carnivals. Once you have
registered with Athletics Tasmania and reach the age of 15 on the day of the Carnival you are eligible to
enter and run. All you need to do is go to the TAL link on the AT Website and enter the events you
would like to do at each carnival.
In closing I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in running the Carnival Series
and wish you all a very successful 2014 – 2015 season.

TASMANIAN MASTERS ASSOCIATION REPORT 2013-2014
It has been an extremely successful year for Tasmanian Masters Athletics. The three major successes
were record membership numbers, the hosting of the 2014 Australian Masters Athletics Championships
in Hobart and the hosting of the 2014 Australian Masters Pentathlon Championships in Launceston.
Membership totalled 296 which surpassed the previous record of 269 set in 1991/92. Behind all our
achievements are those members who willingly volunteer their services and expertise as well as the
overall athletic fraternity within the State, and in particular, Athletics South and Athletics Tasmania.
The AMA Championships were conducted in Hobart from 8 to 10 March 2014. 528 entries were
received; a record for a masters/veterans Championships in Tasmania. The 137 Tasmanian entries was
also a record. Tasmania, with 233 medallions finished second on the medal count behind NSW with
311. Tasmanians achieved 90 gold; 76 silver and 67 bronze. A total of 117 Tasmanian records were set
during the Championships. The AMA Pentathlon Championships were conducted in Launceston on 7
March 2014. 75 entries were received and 13 Tasmanian records were set.
TMA conducted both Tasmanian Masters Half Marathon and Marathon Championships in conjunction
with Cadbury in January 2014. A field of 46 participated in the Half Marathon and 9 in the Marathon.
Janet Upcher once again achieved the best age-graded performance with a world class 93.43% in the
Half Marathon. Rex Wagner was the best male with an excellent 84.19%. Tasmanian Best on Record
performances were returned by (M66) Rex Wagner (1:32:06) and (M71) Bob Robertson (1:46:02).
Cross country and road events were programmed and generally well supported by the membership.
Large numbers of members continue to compete in the winter competitions provided by the affiliates of
Athletics Tasmania. Members also travelled far and wide to participate in national and international fun
runs, half marathons and marathons. The TMA Road Championships and Cross Country
Championships attracted strong entries. There were 31 starters in the Road Championships at Campbell
Town. The Westcott Perpetual Award for the best age-graded performance in the Road Championships
was won by (M63) David Cundy. The Cross Country Championships at Pontville attracted a record field
of 58. Darren Brown (M50) returned the best age-graded performance.
The track and field season was arguably the best ever in the Association’s history. Participation in the
regular Wednesday night competitions was high. Despite the fact that the State Track & Field
Championships were only three weeks after the National Championships there was an excellent turnout
of 69 participants. The track distance events continue to attract strong numbers and are a major strength
of the Association. There were 28 participants in the 10,000m and 24 participants in the 5,000m. The
Graeme Cruise Award for the best age-graded performance in the State Championships was won for
the second consecutive year by Janet Upcher (W67) with another world class percentage of 93.95%.
The Masters Athlete of the Championships was awarded to Geoff Gibbons (M37). TMA entered a record
35 teams in the National Postal Relay competition resulting in 13 first places; 12 seconds and 6 thirds.
Competition for the annual TMA awards was strong with many outstanding performers throughout the
season. The winners were: Female Athlete of the Year – Francesca Smith; Male Athlete of the Year –
Geoff Gibbons; Sprints/Hurdles Athlete of the Year – Michael Stevenson; Middle Distance/Steeple
Athlete of the Year – Francesca Smith; Distance Athlete of the Year – Janet Upcher; Jumps/Multi Events
Athlete of the Year – Geoff Gibbons; Throws Athlete of the Year – Tracy Canham. The Jim Burr
Memorial Award for service to TMA was awarded to Wayne French.
The Graeme Fennell Memorial Award is presented annually by the City to Casino organisers. It
recognises a long time participant in the event for their dedication and consistency. The award was
implemented in 2009 and has been won each year since by TMA members: Bob Robertson, Stan
Harrex, David Cresswell, Janet Upcher and this year, Bob Weldon.
Our challenge for the future is to consolidate on the successes of the past year. Communication,
organisation and participation have never been higher in our Association. There is much to keep
members busy and interested. As well as the local scene, The AMA Championships will be conducted in
NSW in April 2015 and the World Masters Championships in Lyon, France in August 2015.

TRACK AND FIELD REPORT 2013-2014
Athletics Tasmania was in experimentation mode in 2013/14 and for the first time divided the Tasmanian
Track and Field Championships in two by age groupings.
In the past they have been separated by gender and by venue but this was the first occasion to separate
the junior and senior events. The rationale was to allow the better under age athletes to contest both
their own age group and if they are ready for it, also the open championships. It was evident that in
looking for better competition and personal bests that many younger athletes were entering the open
events over the previously combined championships weekend and therefore whilst sometimes achieving
their aim, missed out on being a state champion or medallist in their own age group.
The 2013-14 Age Championships were conducted in late February, prior to the closure of entries for the
Junior Nationals. The Open and Masters Championships were staged a month later. The test run was a
great success with good entry levels in both championships and some excellent results.
Entries were disappointing in the relay events held away from the main championships weekend and
very poor, except for the under 18 men in the State Combined Events Championships. A similar
situation existed for the 3000m, although combining the age groups gave some good racing when the
events were staged on the re-opening day of the re-surfaced Penguin Track on 25 January. Entries in
the 10000m titles were poor in men’s and once again zero for the women’s.
Masters entries however continue to rise and the continuing co-staging of the masters and open
championships is unquestionably a success.
The Track and Field Commission has recommended to the AT Board that we revive the Tasmanian All
Schools as a medal competition in 2014-15 and this will included the selection trials for the Australian
Primary Track and Field Championships that will be held at Penguin at the end of November 2014.
Both the Briggs Athletics Classic and the IAAF Race Walk Challenge were well organised and delivered
in February 2014. However the entry received for the walks was lower in both quality and quantity than
in previous years. The Board resolved that after the completion of our agreement with AA to deliver the
event until 2014, we would advise that unless there are additional resources to justify the many quality
hours put in by the Tasmanian Athletics Family’s volunteer workforce, we would not continue to host the
event.
The Briggs Meet was co-staged with the Tasmanian Little Athletics Relay Championships with many
good outcomes, including many young athletes and their families staying on to watch the Briggs events.
We would like to do this, or something like it again, but it does not look as though the planets will align
enough for this to be possible in 2014-15. AT is however looking at making the 2015 edition a two day
meet over the Australia Day weekend to include combined events and to possible stage events on both
an evening and the following morning to take advantage of the two periods of the day when conditions at
the Domain are most conducive to high level results.

STATE PERFORMANCE REPORT 2013-2014
Developments at the national level have resulted in 2013/2014 being somewhat of a transitional year in
athletics and presented several issues at state level surrounding programs and funding. These
hopefully, have been overcome and we can look forward to the program increasing in scope in the
coming years.
The scholarship year has moved to October to September to accommodate international considerations.
Some changes occurred after September 2013 in the program athletes with Tristan Thomas moving to
the national program, Todd Hodgetts moving to VIS as he now lives in Victoria. Abbey de la Motte and
Kaitlin Morgan have also moved to Victoria and Jacob Birtwhistle has transferred to Triathlon and moved
to NSW.
We gained Deon Kenzie as a new scholarship holder and he enjoyed a great result at the IPC World
Championships in Lille where he won a bronze medal in the T38 1500m.
The 2014 National Junior Championships were the selection trials for the World Juniors to be held in
Eugene, Oregon USA in July. Three Tasmanian athletes achieved selection to compete in relay events
after solid domestic season performances and good results at the Nationals. Samantha Lind, Jesse
Usoalii, and Jacob Despard had very encouraging competitions and continued Tasmania’s good
representation at these Championships.
Another development which may enhance junior development is the devolution of the National Target
Talent Program to the States partly funded by Athletics Australia. This squad will form an integral part of
the pathway between the ATIS Squad and Scholarship level and also provide encouragement for coach
development.
Hamish Peacock and Tristan Thomas competed in the World Championships in Moscow in 2013.
Tristan’s stunning leg in the 4 x 400m relay ensured Australia made the final - which was an exciting
result. Hamish will gain a great deal of experience for his future in the Javelin event in which he is a
standout for the future.
Tasmania still is at the forefront through Evan Peacock in the development of young hammer throwers
with more young athletes following in the footsteps of Huw Peacock, Danni McConnell, and Mikki
Genge. We are also showing some very encouraging development of some multi event athletes with two
athletes winning National under-age titles.
2014 will see some changes in the TIS program with my departure from the end of June. I have very
much enjoyed my time in Tasmania and I know the program will enter a new era and respond to a
different approach.
I would like to take the opportunity to express my great appreciation to all the members of the
Tasmanian athletic family who have made me most welcome in my eight years in Tasmania.

PARTICIPATION AND DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2013-14
The 2013/14 season was both successful and stagnant depending on where you look. Many
events/programs were run successfully.
We saw great success in some schools events including the Inter High Cross Country and Track and
Field held in Hobart. These two events saw more participation from public high schools.
The 2013 Tasmanian All Schools cross country also saw increased participation especially in the
primary event where we saw several age groups attracting over 200+ starters. This event is enormously
successful due to the great effort parents and many teachers go to in allowing the students to
participate.
Other schools events such as the SKO stagnated mostly due to the non-attendance of schools in the
program. The North West edition failed to gather enough entries from local schools to hold. Efforts were
made several months in advance to avoid this however when it came to submitting entries they simply
did not bother.
Our Development Squad Team ATIS saw its last year and our athletes were quite successful over the
course of the season both in national and state events. From this squad we saw five athletes selected in
international teams (two for Oceania games and three for World Juniors).
As a part of the development programs a distance camp was held where athletes were able to spend
four days focusing on training and their own development ahead of the National Cross Country
Championships and the upcoming track season.
A development camp was also held at St Helens where athletes participated in events at the St Helens
Carnival. In addition to competing there they also engaged in three separate days of training and
educational sessions lead by Peter Fortune of the TIS.
These camps provided a good opportunity for individual discussions with athletes where they had the
chance to discuss their futures in the sport.

ATHLETES’ COMMISSIONER’S REPORT 2013-2014
The 2013/2014 season saw a number of outstanding performances. Athletes were in fine form with
State records being broken a total of 42 times over the season. While some athletes were unfortunately
rehabilitating injuries, a number took the challenge to the top competitors in the country at national
meets, walking away with a swag of medals.
Meanwhile in countries around the world, our top athletes mixed with some of the world’s best at meets
like the Moscow World Championships, World University Games, and Oceania Area Championships.
The ATIS squad was announced at the Athlete of the Year Dinner in May (2013) with a solid team of 35
athletes achieving the high standard required. Proving themselves worthy of their spot, a number of
these athletes went on to represent Australia in their disciplines. Continuing on this ladder of success,
and highlighting a very real pathway the ATIS squad can follow, a quality group of 12 athletes received
TIS scholarships, some going on to travel the world in green and gold.
The Australian All Schools (2013) was held in Townsville QLD, while Australian Junior Championships
was a bit closer to home in Sydney NSW. Both meets were the standard we have come to expect, with
truly outstanding performances on the track by our sprinters and distance runners, and fantastic
performances coming from the field too.
From PBs to medals – the gold kind – our athletes again proved Tasmania can punch above its weight
at national meets. The medals that came home around the necks of our juniors serves as such a great
motivator, not only to the athlete that wears them, but those they train with, and younger athletes around
them. Congratulations should be expressed to all those who competed.
The Briggs Athletics Classic was again held in Hobart in 2014. Moving to a Saturday night (1 February)
it was kicked off by TLAA athletes, with relays staged in the late afternoon before the main attractions
started. With quality athletes again making the journey to the southernmost Tour meet, some of our
young guns got the chance to compete against a different calibre of athletes.
A talented trio of sprinters achieved something only a small percentage of athletes have the chance to
do, and were selected for the 2014 IAAF World Junior Team to be held in Eugene, Oregon. Competing
in July when the weather should be just right for our young stars, they will be taking on some of the best
athletes in the world. Regardless of the outcome, it’s safe to say the experience will be an invaluable
one!
The Athlete of the Year dinner has been delayed this year until August when a number of likely award
recipients return from overseas competition, where they are proudly representing our country.
I would also like to say a big thank you to all the officials, administrators, coaches, athletes, parents and
spectators that make our sport what it is! Thank you for giving up countless weekends and weeknights
and travelling the country – and sometimes the world - to support the athletes. Hopefully we will see you
all again next year for another season of PBs, records, and state and national representation!

AT & FCA (TASMANIAN BRANCH) REPORT 2013-2014
The ATFCA (Tas) Branch was in recess for much of the 2013-14 Report Year. In accordance with the
Athletics Tasmania Constitution, the Branch’s representation on the AT Board was replaced by a
Coaches and Coaching Commissioner.
COACHING REPORT 2013-14
The Coaching Director position on the Board was vacant for much of the 2013-14 year. Nonetheless
there was significant activity on the coach education front and in visiting expertise for clinics and athlete
support.
This season saw five level 1 coaching courses hosted around the state. At the start of the season when
athletes and parents were ready to get back into the swing of competition, a round of three courses were
held in Hobart, Launceston, and Penguin. All three were held in conjunction with coordinators from the
Active After School Communities (AASC) program run by the ASC.
At the completion of the one day course, all participants were awarded with a dual certification as a
Level 1 Community Coach, and an Active After School (AAS) instructor. This is a highly beneficial
partnership that provides athletes with the opportunity to gain casual work after school, within the
sporting industry.
Another round of courses was held towards the end of the season catching those inspired by
championship meets and eager to coach in the off season, to ready athletes for the next season. With
insufficient numbers signing up for the second Penguin course, it was postponed. However Launceston
and Hobart still continued, despite the dreary weather in the north.. The AASC were unable to be
involved in this round of courses. However they agreed to discuss the possibility of qualifying successful
participants for their program, as the L1 Community Coach course and the AAS course are very similar.
Hobart courses were held in the function room at the Domain Athletics Centre which provided a –
modified - indoor option if the weather didn’t allow activity outside. Launceston were in a similar situation
using their upstairs function room for the theory part of the course, and the synthetic track for the
practical assessments. While Penguin was hosted by the local High School, providing fantastic indoor
options for participants, ensuring the course could continue regardless of the weather.
Without a sufficiently qualified facilitator in Tasmania no Level 2 courses (or higher) were conducted
within the state this year. However plans are underway to ensure these courses will be soon available to
interested participants, without having to travel interstate.
Appreciation is extended to Simon Bennett for his help in collating registrations and forwarding all
relevant paperwork to AA for finalisation for all the courses.

OUT OF STADIUM REPORT 2013-2014
Out of stadium events continue to experience growth overall as does recreational running and we
continue to work with organisers of recreational running events to encourage participation and increase
opportunities for Athletics Tasmania representation.
The 2013 B&E Launceston Ten held in June incorporated both the Australian and Tasmanian 10km
Road Running Championships. Following the completion of the contract arrangement between the
organisers and Athletics Australia after that event, Athletics Tasmania made application to Oceania AA
for the race, for the first time, to be the Oceania 10km Road Running Championships. The Oceania
component will include six individual championships – in open, under 20 and under 18 categories for
men and women. The right to host the Oceania Championships was a fitting recognition for the wellorganised event whose fast course attracted a good field of elite and recreational runners keen for a
personal best.
The IGA Tasmanian Primary and Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships were again held at
Symmons Plains. This was a great opportunity for the young athletes to test out the course and compete
for selection in the State team for the Australian Cross Country Championships which were hosted by
Tasmania at the same venue in August. Attracting a combined total of over 3,000 students these two
events continue to grow in popularity each year highlighting the fantastic support from schools as well as
the professionalism of the organising team in delivering a high quality experience for participants.
The Tasmanian Cross Country Championships and selection trials were held in July at the Pontville
Equestrian Centre. This is an interesting and challenging course resulting in some good performances
and increased numbers participating.
A small field contested the Tasmanian 5km Road Running Championships held in conjunction with the
Launceston 5km Classic in December.
Hobart’s waterfront hosted the 2014 IAAF Race Walking Challenge in January. The spectacular location
and beautiful summer morning was a hit with the world class participants, many praising the location and
organisation of the event.
The Cadbury Marathon, Half Marathon and the Running Edge 5km continues to grow and again saw
increased fields in all three events. The introduction of the JMC 10km and the new VIP area were both
extremely successful and will be continued in future events. This event attracts many overseas and
interstate participants and is a fantastic showcase for Hobart in January.
Work has begun on revitalising mountain running with a renewed event planned for the next season.

2014 CADBURY MARATHON FESTIVAL REPORT
A new event component, some creative marketing and tinkering of some of the traditional good stuff
resulted in yet another spectacular Cadbury Marathon.
The 31st edition on January 12 attracted near on 2700, including 850 from interstate and 61 international
participants. These stats make it more than just a sporting event, but a significant tourism attraction to
Tasmania.
We welcomed JMC on board as part of a three year deal to help deliver the new 10km event. In
contrast, the men’s race was taken out by Tasmanian distance gun Josh Harris, while the women’s was
won by Dutch tourist Lia Wiburger.
One goal of the event is to continually raise the bar in participant experiences. This year participants in
the half and full marathon were able to partake in the VIP experience. For a small extra fee, runners
were treated like a world class runner in the VIP area right on the finish line, in full view of the bigscreen
where each could prepare in a relaxed environment before their race. Then once they crossed the line,
head over to the runners’ sanctuary for a massage, gourmet catered breakfast and the service they
might expect if they were Steve Moneghetti. Over 100 took up the opportunity, so consider it here to
stay.
Back to the running and Matthew Fenech defended his Cadbury Marathon title, clocking 2:33:07.
With some stiff competition from marathon debutant, Alastair Stevenson of Brisbane (2:33.45), and Clay
Dawson (2:37.23), Fenech timed his run beautifully to win his second Cadbury Marathon crown.
In the women’s event the marathon was taken out convincingly by 2012 winner Kirsten Molloy of Lake
Macquarie. The former national champion ran 2:58:02 for the win ahead of fellow New South Wales
runner Mary Yule and first Tasmanian Amy Lamprecht who placed third.
A pair of past winners once again took line honours in the Cadbury Half Marathon. Last time Dave
Thomas won the Cadbury Half Marathon he slept in his car at the start line the night before. This year
he took up our accommodation offer and the result was the same, victory and a winning time of 1:08.18.
James Attard of Ballarat was three minutes behind Thomas in a time of 1:11.09 followed by Swiss
national Patrick Nispel in 1:11.09. Brisbane’s Clare Geraghty claimed another half marathon title in
1:18:56. The pocket rocket struggled with the windy conditions but still stopped the clock at 1:18.56,
followed closely by Karinna Fyfe 1:19.19, and Kate Pedley in 1:19.19.
All six place getters in the Running Edge 5km were Tasmanians with Tedros Gebrehiwot taking line
honours ahead of Sam Morey and Damon Court in the men’s event. The women’s was a teenaged affair
with 14 year old Madeline Fasnacht taking the win from Ebony Webb and Julia Minnucci.
After taking over the race director role from Colin Oliver, I feel privileged to have managed this great
event for a number of years. I’ve had some good fortune in that we’ve experienced a global marathon
running boom and am proud of how the event has evolved and grown accordingly.
To the 120 volunteers who lent a hand at this years and previous events, I hope you feel as appreciated
as I was grateful.
From 2015, Shelley Miller will continue the challenge of delivering this terrific event.
Happy Running

RACE WALKING TASMANIA REPORT 2013-2014
The 2013 winter season had a rather slow start to the season with regard to numbers, but the enjoyment
and participation of those who led to a successful year.
Since my last report, the walkers in our Race Walking Club have been busy, in trying to achieve the best
possible outcomes and to increase numbers within the sport. As one can imagine times were rather
difficult to attain in our part of the State, due to the trying conditions, but despite that our walkers
managed to showcase their talent and love for the sport in a variety of ways.
Our masters athletes as usual have been exceptionally busy and supportive, especially towards our
young walkers. We would be lost without their great contribution.
One of our proudest moments of the year was Stephanie Stigwood’s selection in the World University
Games which were held in Russia in July. Stephanie certainly performed well in her first experience as a
member of an Australian Team and we hope that she continues to excel in her race walking over the
coming years.
Our younger athletes are continuing their climb up the competition ladder with some excellent
performances achieved. Tahlia Hunt, travelled to Canberra last year where she competed in the
Australian Federation Race Walk Championships along Lake Burley. Race Walking Australia hosts the
event at this time each year and is the biggest race walking event that is held in Australia. Tahlia Hunt
won the U/16 5KM event in great style .We hope to have more athletes attend next year.
During August our walkers competed in Australian Road Walking Championships and the Australian
Federation Race Walking Championships at Symmons Plains, in our home State. Our younger walkers
performed admirably, with Bayley Campbell winning the bronze medal in the U12 boys 2km even - first
in the handicap trophy, and the ultimately the gold team medal, along with Angus Murrell and Blaire
Garwood. Tahlia Hunt and Sarah Guy finished 4th and 5th respectively in the U16 5km event, whilst
Alice Randall was the best placed U14 walker in 9th place, then teamed up with Isabelle Darsaklis and
Arabella Phillips in winning the team bronze medal. Stephanie Stigwood won Race Walking Australia’s
open 10km event.
Our All Schools Road Championships and State Road Championships were very well represented this
season, and almost all athletes achieved personal bests in their respective age groups. Athletes to
watch out for in the future are Stephanie Stigwood, Louis Rose, Tahlia Hunt, Alice Randall and Bayley
Campbell.
I must once again thank Wayne Fletcher, David Moore Owen & Christy Hunt and Sharon Rose for their
tireless work and support in our club, without their support we would cease to function. Let us hope for a
bigger and brighter future in the coming years.
