Not unhappy to hear it. LA's have the cash, AA's reputation for squandering it with no meaningful long-term benefits to the sport precedes them. -
I agree AA squanders the cash. But LAA squanders much of the talent.Originally posted by typpo View Post

I think I raised this as a distinctly likely outcome way back when because of those very reasons.Originally posted by Vault-emort View Post
Unless the government passes specific legislation to snuff out the current bodies and create a new one run by a government administrator for 5-10 years, you won't be able to destroy the natural fiefdoms. Without that, you will never get a proper developmental pipeline.
On the general issue of mergers, I always used to patiently explain to people proposing this sort of thing that mergers are multiplicative not additive. Merging two half-arsed organisation doesn't give you a full-arsed organisation, rather you get a quarter-arsed mess.Comment

ABERFELDIE - 11 DEC
100 (2.5) Mitrevski 10.21
100H (nwi) Shaw 13.62
Quick run for Long Jumper Chris Mitrevski in his first 100m for a couple of years. Will be interesting to see if this improved speed results in some big jumps.
GEELONG - 11 DEC
100 (2.7) Romanin 10.48 Nicolussi 10.61
100 (2.1) Gross 11.62 Geddes 11.89
200 (2.5) Gross 23.87
Though 11.89 is a time I would normally not bother reporting here, it's the first race in a few years for former WJ rep Sam Geddes. Perhaps she has now graduated from uni and, having moved to Victoria, seems to be making a comeback. Maybe she was inspired by Hana Basic's season.
ADELAIDE - 11 DEC
100 (-1.7) Murphy 10.64
400 Murphy 46.31
Another couple of PBs for young Aidan.Last edited by Vault-emort; 12-11-2021, 08:24 AM.Comment

With only a twilight Christmas meet to run in Adelaide this year, with non-standard sprint events, it's worth reflecting how much Aidan has improved his PBs in the past month or so::
100 10.97-10.64 0.33 (plus 10.20w)
200 21.80-20.60 1.20
400 48.68-46.31 2.37
He ran at the X-Mas meet last year though, so worth noting his PBs from that night are 150m (16.42) & 300m (35.92).Comment

AA doesn't publish an all-time list for 300m but has been publishing annual lists. I created a combined list from www.alltime-athletics.com (<33.00) and AA last 5 seasons, noting that 2017 didn't have any times listed, so 2016 is used as the 5th year.Originally posted by Vault-emort View Post
Unfortunately, there's no SA athletes in my list and AthleticsSA doesn't list a state record, so it'll be hard to put his run in context. Anyway, here's the list for what it's worth:

Brad Jamieson ran a 33.23 for 300m (Canberra 1996) which is almost certainly the SA U20 best.
I'm not sure Bruce Frayne ever ran a 300, so Brad's time might be the SA Open best too.Comment

I noticed that AA is implementing a mentoring program for high performance coaches. I thought had something like this but this just might be a better resourced version as it's being done in conjunction with the AIS.
Interesting to note Uwe Hohn getting some love after his recent falling out with the Indian federation. Hopefully, AA will be a more reliable governing body for him.The mentoring program will be conducted over 12 months with 11 mentors including AA Targeted Athlete Campaign Lead and former head coach Craig Hilliard, as well as Dick Telford, Sandro Bisetto, Tudor Bidder, Uwe Hohn, Sharon Hannan, John Quinn, Esa Peltola, Lyn Foreman, Cliff Mallet and Peter Fortune.

Also of particular interest is now Professor Cliff Mallet, who I thought had left the sport for the academic life. However, his academic work seems a good fit for this program and he has still been involved with coaches and athletes from a consulting angle: https://hmns.uq.edu.au/profile/1406/cliff-mallett

That sounds pretty likely but it's hard to tell. I had a quick look at the almanacs and 1995-96 was the first appearance of a 300m. I'm not sure if that means they were never run before that or if the times were just discarded for non-standard events. Only Guru Jenes would know.Originally posted by Vault-emort View Post
Is it worth compiling a list with what we have given the potential limitations?

300m (& 330y) races have been held in Australia since at least the 1930s, but not regularly.Originally posted by El Toro View Post
I had compiled a decent all-time list & progressive record list around 2000-2005 but sadly lost these with a computer meltdown and have not got around to trying again. From memory, I think I had George Golding & Betty Judge-Beazley as the inaugural record-setters.
Paul J & David T probably have an up-date all-time list.Comment

I think the "not regularly" is the problem. It was always hard enough to maintain lists for standard events, let alone for odd events.Originally posted by Vault-emort View Post
Interesting that WA has outdoor 300m lists now. I'm sure they weren't there the last time I looked, only indoors 300m. Best times up to 34.00, all to 33.20. Only error is assignment of 33.26 to middle distance runner, Julian Dwyer rather than sprinter Patrick Dwyer.
Based on that list, here's the state bests, confirming your view on Jamieson.
For SA, here's the top list with Ormrod only 3rd:State Record Rank(AUS) Competitor Venue Date ACT 33.11 11 Patrick JOHNSON Geelong 2-Dec-06 NSW 31.88 1 Darren CLARK Belfast 30-Jun-86 QLD 32.95 9 Alex BECK QSAC 27-Jan-21 SA 33.23 16 Brad JAMIESON Canberra 1-Dec-96 VIC 32.81 7 Steve PERRY Canberra 26-Jan-89 WA 32.22 2 Dean CAPOBIANCO Gateshead 17-Jul-92
State Time Rank(AUS) Competitor Venue Date SA 33.23 16 Brad JAMIESON Canberra 1-Dec-96 SA 33.42 22 Steve HUTTON Canberra 1-Dec-96 SA 33.72 31 Mark ORMROD Geelong 2-Dec-06 SA 33.80 35 Clay WATKINS Adelaide 31-Mar-10 SA 33.83 38 Stephen LANDERS Mile End 24-Oct-07
Age records are Open and U-20 by Clark but the U-18 is uncertain. Clark was in shape to run mid-high 33 in 1982 based on his 400m time but I don't think he started running them until later. That leaves Casey Vincent as a good candidate with his time in '96 that remained his PB. Sadly it's over the 33.20 threshold for all performances, so that's guesswork.

Yes, when I did my lists the 60m, 300m, 600m, 1000m (etc etc) were some of the hardest to compile for those very reasons. There weren't too many 150m races back then but I recall there were a few in Victoria in the 70s around Boyd/Boyle times.Originally posted by El Toro View Post
But wow - can't even remember Pat Johnson running a 300. I can recall plenty of minutiae from the 70s & 80s off the top of my head but a performance less than 20 years ago has dropped off my radar completely. #oldtimers
