Message from the President
Welcome to all our new members for the coming season. To our past members who have re-signed, thanks for coming back to the QEII Track Club.
Our 2010 Cross Country Season is about to come to a close. Membership base and participation has started to decrease again slightly over the past year for these athletes.
Last season’s (2009-2010) total Club Athlete Membership was 166 (23 fewer than the 2008-2009 season) plus 22 coaches and volunteers.
A new Committee was elected at our AGM in May with all members keen to contribute towards increasing our Club’s profile. Our profile is already ‘out there’ though, thanks mainly to our quality coaching staff.
Over the past season outstanding results at the AA Championships held in Perth for our Senior athletes included – Liam Zamel-Paez (H/J Gold), Chris Noffke (L/J Silver), Kane Brigg (T/J Silver), Matt Davies (100m Silver), Patrick Johnson (200m Gold).
One Club Member has been selected for the upcoming World Junior Championships in the 800metres and the 4 x 400metres Relay – in Moncton, – Kuey Diew (Coach Lloyd Way.
Club member Mitchell Watt competed at the IAAF World Championships in Berlin in August 2009 and won Bronze – a magnificent achievement. Along with Liam Zamel-Paez, Patrick Johnson, Chris Noffke and Matt Davies, Mitchell has been selected for the Australian team for this year’s Commonwealth Games in India.
During the past season our Club also won two of the QA Shield Meets which was very satisfying as the deciding factor was mainly due to our athletes participating in the Track Relays. News items to keep you all informed of athlete achievements were published on our website thanks to our Coaches keeping Ian Thompson up to date.
It was with much sadness that Peter Edwards’ fight for life ended in April after his battle with brain cancer. Peter’s contribution to our athletes, coaches and committee over the past six years will be valued by those who worked closely with him.
