Championships Officer:
Paul Cochrane There are various competitions conducted each season for registered members. An important event is the Zone Championships, and involves a number of Centres within our local district. The best athletes at the Zone progress to Region Championships, and the first three from each Region progress to the NSW State & Field Championships. These are held in March each year at the Olympic venue, Homebush. Other standard events during the year include State Relays and State Multi. Other Little Athletics Centres also conduct “Gala Days” that are open to registered members from any Centre. These are fun days which offer a variety of events. And of course, there’s OUR Gala Day in October. As information comes to hand we will include it on the website and in our weekly newsletter. To participate in any of the following LAANSW carnivals the athlete must be selected by the WHLAC:
Two further LAANSW carnivals are held, where selection is not required, and is open to any interested athlete, from U7 to U15:
Carnival results As they become available we will be adding a report and results summary to the Results page. You can also see the results from other zones and regions on the LAANSW website. The selection criteria for LAANSW carnivals and other carnivals nominated by WHLAC is based on the performance of athletes in a particular event. Performance results are used by the Championships Officer, with the assistance of the relevant Age Manager, to select carnival participants where the athletes are provided with the best opportunities to reach their full potential. State Relays is a Centre Team Event and selections are based purely on performance results. Selection for Zone Carnivals seeks the preferences of individual athletes for events they wish to participate in, before making final selections based on preferences and performances. Parental assistance is a prerequisite for selection and participation at any of these carnivals. If an athlete is selected for a LAANSW carnival, a parent is required to participate in the running of that particular carnival. At least one parent from each athlete’s family is required to assist in the running of the specific event(s) our Centre has been allocated to run during the carnival. A roster of helpers will be prepared and operated for this purpose. Selection may be withheld unless a guarantee of parental assistance is given. No athlete is to be sent to a carnival without the necessary equipment (ie. uniform, hat, sun screen, lunch, money etc). It is the responsibility of the parent to arrange transport to and from the carnival and supervision for their children at the carnival. It cannot be assumed the Age Manager or other club official will accept responsibility for your child. If a child is selected for the Zone carnival, the athlete and parent(s) must be prepared for the possibility of going on to the State carnival, should the athlete be successful at the Zone and subsequent Region carnivals. If it is not possible to guarantee both a parent and athlete will be able to participate, then please advise the Championships Officer immediately so that another child may be selected in their place. We once again emphasise that all parents of competing athletes are expected to assist in the running of events our Centre has been allocated to conduct on behalf of the LAANSW. For more information on any of these Championships / Carnivals, please contact the Championships Officer or see the Championships page on the LAANSW website. |
