Australian Teams Championships 2008 - Nunawading, Victoria
Nathan Fazldad confirmed his status as the best walker for his age group with a great win in the Australian Teams Championship over Jacob Did and Jesse Osbourne.
Amy Bettiol had a very close win in the girls race over Hannah Watson and Elizabeth Hosking. This group of girls plus a few who were not selected to compete in these championships will be worth watching as they climb there way into the senior ranks.
Full results are on the Australian Little Athletics - National web site.
VLAA Championships 2008
Rachael Tallent was in great form and stamped her authority to win the Under 15 girls eventin 6:58.59.
Beth Alexander was second ahead of Ayla Collins and Emily Payne with a strong field of 20 girls contesting the event.
Amy Burren with a broken big toe still managed to win the Under 14 girls 1500m event. Chelsea Dyer battled with Amy early in the race but was overtaken by the stronger Hilary Brazel.
Ebony Whiley had a narrow win over Amelia Finegan in the Under 13 girls race. Not far behind Ebony Tallent narrowly took third spot from Caitlin Campbell. This was a very keenly contested event with all seventeen girls in the field walking with great style.
Knox is a very strong walking club and Bianca Attard showed her strength to win the under 12 girls event from Stephanie George and Jmara Hockley Samon.
Dandenong's Sarah Burren made it a family double again when she won the Under 11 girls 1500m race. Carly Bertrand was the only one to again keep Sarah honest with a much improved Chloe McNicol-Davidson from Seaford in third place. Rebecca Campbell finished a close fourth from Alexandra Brunton and Billie Whitelaw.
The under 15 boys 1500m event was won by Bradley Simpson. David Cowan has impvoved greatly this season and finished in second place ahead of Adrian Coad. Steven Marsh faded to fifth after a strong showing early in the race.
Lewis Clark eventually cleared out to clinched another gold medal in a very closely contested under 14 boys competition. Jacob Wright finished second from the much improved Dylan Sloan from Seaford.
Showing a lot of control, Nunawading's Ryan Antidormi went on to win the under 13 boys race from Josh Dillion. The tall figure of Aaron Gardner finished third from Dacy Irwin who finally droke away from a great contest further back in the field.
The tightest finish of the day came in the under 12 boys race with Caulfield's Sebastian Graham just holding off a great surge by Lucas Taylor in a race that was action packed. Both boys have improved greatly this season and we look forward to their progress in thr future. Corio's Lachlan Dillion eventually finishing third from B Maskell and Connor McShanag.

Alexander.
Tamara Attard has found a new gear and set a cracking pace to win the Under 18 Girls race.
The
smooth walking Rydian Cowley was also in great form
finishing in 22:05.44 for the 5.0km distance in the Under 20 Boys
event. Nicholas Mirachi had another solid walk for second place.
Daniel Payne had a fantastic race to try and hold back Regan but
could not contain her over the closing couple of laps. He
continued on bravely to win the Boys Under 18 event. Jason Elms
finished second and had his own little battle to try and stay with
Kristin Shaw over the 5km distance. Well done to both athletes.

VLAA State Championships 2004
Results
are available at the VLAA web site.
Congradulations to all of our
young walkers who competed at the state championships. The standard
of race walking was very high and there were very few reports in most
of the races. A little bit of training can make the world of
difference at this level of competition.
A.Burren(Dandenong)was
the only girl from SMR to win a gold medal in an outstanding time of
5:56.7 in the Under 10 1100m event. Dana Neilsen(U14, Waverley), C.Di
Francesco (U12 Brighton) and T.Collins (U9 Dandenong) won silver
medals with Sarah Alexander (U15 Oakleigh) and M.Graham (U11
Caulfield) winning a bronze medal.
D.Sloan from Seaford patience
paid off in the Under 10 Boys event and he eventually took out the
gold medal. T.Harrison (U12 Waverley) and S.Grayson (U13 Casey) won
silver medals with J.McSweeney (U9 Dandenong) picking up a bronze
medal with a very controlled performance.
Australian Federation Championships 2003
Frankston athletes Megan Peters and Jayson Stoddart helped Victorian teams to
gold medals at the Australian Federation of Race Walking
Championships in Canberra.
Megan finished a close third over the
tough 10 mile course around lake Burley Griffin. Simone Wolowiec and
Nicole Sansonetti were the other team members who gave Victoria the first gold medals of the day.
Later in the day Megan finished second in the 5km race which had a
big field of 28 competitiors. She was the first Victorian home with
Heather Carr and Eda Girgin
assisting to gain a team bronze medal. Jayson finished third in the Under 12 boys 2000m
event and combined with brothers Timucin and Ergenekon Girgin to win the team gold medal.
David Butteriss helped secure the team
bronze medal in the Under 9 boys event.
Other SMR athletes Sarah Alexander (3rd) and Daina
Neilsen helped to win the team silver medals in the Under 15 girls
3000m event.
Cloe McNicol-Davidson fell late in the Under 9 girls
race but battled on to finish fourth. She was pleasantly surprised
with the third place handicap trophy at the presentations.

RACE WALKING RULES
1. Race Walking is a progression of steps so taken
that the walker makes contact with the ground, so that no visible (to
the human eye) loss of contact occurs.
2. The advancing leg shall
be straightened (i.e. not bent at the knee) from the moment of first
contact with the ground until the vertical upright position.
WALK JUDGING
Without judging the sport would
not exist. Judging attempts to make it as fair as possible for all
walkers who are complying with the rules of race walking.
"Cautions"
- these are verbal instructions to the athletes that they may be in
danger of not complying with the rules of race walking. The athlete
should take notice of the judge and try to correct their style.
"Reports" - If a judge believes that the athlete is not
complying with one of the rules of race walking, they will be given a
report which is noted on judge's report card. The judge's report
cards are handed to the chief judge at the end of a race (for short
track races)for the chief judge to take the appropiate action.
"Chief Judge" - The chief judge explains the rules of
race walking before the competition commences and tallies up the
reports at the end of a race (short races). The chief judge also
informs the athletes about their reports and advises them if a
disqualification has been imposed on their result and gives them the
reasons for that action.
RACE WALKING TECHNIQUE
Posture - The body should be straight and tall with
a very minimal lean forward.
Head - Chin up and looking long down
the track. Keep the head still and not rocking from side to side.
Shoulders - Keep them down and relaxed so that there is an easy
arm swing.
Arms - Should be bent at about 85o and the arm swing should be from the shoulders.
The hands should swing from the hip up to about chest height. The hands should not
cross the centreline of the body with the action forward and back not
across the body.
Hips - By rotating the hips slightly forward and
driving from the rear leg there is a noticable increase in stride
length. Try not to rock the hips from side to side, it should be a
forward and back action.
Knees - Do not lift the knee too high as
it swings forward and the leg should be straightened as contact is
made with the ground. The leg remains straight until it passes under
the body and into the driving phase.
Feet - Hold the toes up on
contact with the ground and roll over the foot as the body pushes
forward. The rear leg drives forward with the toes rising higher as
the athlete gains more strength. With proper hip rotation foot
placement should be in a straight line for maximum stride length.
Speed - Practice techniques slowly at first and build up speed
gradually. Quicker leg speed can be achieved with a little practice.
Longer stride length will usually come as the athlete gets stronger
with race fitness.
