The UQ Athletics Club is saddened by the passing of Pat Clohessy on Monday, 28 September. Pat made an extraordinary contribution to the UQ Athletics Club, UQ Athletics Centre and the wider athletics community.

Following the opening of the newly laid UQ track in 1998, Pat was appointed Head Coach of the track and the Athletics Club. Under his leadership, the Club went on to win the athletics component of University Sport Nationals for 11 consecutive years, as well as multiple National and Oceania Club Championships.

But Pat's impact went far beyond results.

He coached University and community athletes to national titles and Australian representation, welcomed athletes of all abilities into his squad and took as much pride in a personal best as he did in seeing an athlete reach the national team. He also mentored and supported a generation of coaches who went on to make their own mark on athletics.

Pat was passionate about creating opportunities for athletes to compete and played an integral role in establishing the 1500m Classic, now one of the flagship events held at the UQ Athletics Centre.

Pat leaves an indelible mark on the UQ Athletics Club and the wider athletics community through his expertise, passion for athletics and the force of his personality. His contribution will be recognised at the 1500m Classic on 28 October.

The UQ Athletics Club extends its deepest condolences to Pat's wife Moira, daughter Maria and their family and friends.
Thank you, Pat.
