GREAT VOLUNTEER DAY FOR THE CLUB

Last Saturday club members were out in force as we started season 2026-27 Launch A with our duty as the volunteer club.

The day kicked off setting up the steeples, getting underway in long jump, hammer and discus sessions, then onto hammer. Everything went smoothly. Great to have volunteers who were competing doing a session after they competed. The hurdles were as efficient as they could be given the number of people we had. No fuss, no issues.

The best part was we got to do some other tasks at the long jump - tape measure, marking landing spots and wind gauge and recording at the discus. There was also plenty of pick up and return!

A big shout out to Kate Brown who was out as part of the push from ASA to get volunteers involved. Kate’s been out to our City-Bay training and was there all afternoon.

A big thank you to everyone who helped:

BATT-DOYLE AUSTRALIAN RECORD (6th, 2.20.38) AT CHICAGO

Graphic from Inside Running Podcast where Izzi has been a guest many times.

Fantastic news from Chicago to cap off a great weekend for the club.

This was just about the perfect performance from Izzi. If you were watching the live leaderboard you see that Izzi ran her race. Out of the top twenty at 10k, then moved up to 15th by 15k. In terms of the women’s race it was clear that Izzi was isolated from other women for much of the race.

Luckily Riley was on hand for pacing duties. Managed to find grab this picture from a random sport live stream. Not sure when it was but clearly Izzi was on her own.

Through half-way in 1.10.29 in twelfth place there was another 19k of consistent pace, moving up a couple of place to tenth at the 40k mark.

A superb last couple of kilometres with a 3.12 42nd kilometre, which was Izzi’s fastest of the race. That showed that Izzi managed to get everything just about right. Grabbing 4 more places to finish 6th in a World Major, but more importantly the AUSTRALIAN, State and Club record!

A slight negative split (1.10.29, 1.10.09) race was quintessentially the perfect run. No doubt in days to come Izzi will give her impression of the performance.

From everyone at the club we congratulate you Izzi for such a wonderful performance. Once again, you provide inspiration for all our athletes young and old.

No doubt the race is on for the first Australian women to go under 2.20.

Volunteers Needed

This Saturday is our stand-alone VOLUNTEER Day at Stadium SA for Launch A. We are the first club to have a host day this season, so we want to make sure everything runs smoothly. Remember, the athletes are happier if everything runs on time. Not having enough officials or volunteers is the main contributor.

The program we are looking after is Launch A (Program A1).

If you are coming out to the track on Saturday wee need you to help.

Track Events - 2 people to assist at the finish line (if needed)

Short Hurdles (4-6) - this requires a team to position the hurdles first for the 110mH, then progressively move them, and/or adjust height until the last event 90mH. Then pack up hurdles.

Long Jump - 2 people to rake the sand and maybe pull the tape into place. Note there is a session 3 with dual pits.

Pole Vault - 2 people to assist where required, mainly to put the bar on and off.

Hammer Throw - 1 person (can get away with one) to bring the hammer back. Although there are several sessions, expect numbers to be small.

Discus Throw – 1-2 people to bring discus back to the throwing area.
