Popular 'Turkey Run' is on 5 December:
Hi everyone,
Our annual 'Turkey Run' is back on Sunday 5 December this year - with an extra event. The idea of a Turkey run is that you nominate the time you think you will finish the course in, and the winner is the person whose actual time is closest to their guess. The only rule is that you are not allowed to run with a watch.

This year we are combining the Turkey Run with the wrap up of our Fadden Pines Cross Country season, which was interrupted by the lockdown in August. We are adding a little kids race and there will be trophy and certificate presentations from the Cross Country Season.
The kids race will be at 4pm - and is about 1km. Presentations will be about 4:15pm and the longer event will be at 4:30pm. For it, you can run either approx 4km and approx 2km. There are a lot of great prizes, including Runners Shop vouchers and random draw prizes - including a voucher for a Christmas turkey.

As always, the Turkey Run will be at the Fadden Pines picnic area off Bugden Ave. Please turn up at least 20mins before your race so we can get entries sorted. Entry is via a gold coin donation. Funds raised will go this year to Lifeline.
It is a great event and the only one where you can win without being the fastest. Several years ago, the last person across the finish line had the best guess and won! We hope to see you there.
World Champion Kelsey-Lee Barber has become SCT's first Olympic medalist, winning the javelin bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games! Supporters held their breaths as they watched a close and exciting competition on Friday evening, 6 August at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo. Coached by husband Mike, Kelsey-Lee's 4th round throw saw her in the bronze medal position. In the final round she threw the spear 64.56 metres to come within 10 centimetres of the silver medal. Go Kelsey-Lee! The gold medal was won by China's Shiying Liu with 66.34m, and silver won by Poland's Maria Andrejczyk with 64.61m.
Speaking to Channel Seven after the competition, Kelsey-Lee said:
"I love my event, I can't tell you how much fun I was having out there tonight. It's this weird focus, determination I just thrive off. I love it, I love being out here! There were moments this year when I wasn't even sure if I was going to make it here, let alone medal. I worked hard and we found a way."
SCT's Tokyo 2020 Olympians!
"With the Olympics starting this week I would like to congratulate our two club Olympians: Kelsey-Lee Barber and Angie Blackburn. It is an amazing result for our club to have two members representing Australia at Tokyo.
Kelsey's javelin competition begins in the qualification round in the morning session on Wed 3 Aug, with the final on the evening of Fri 6 Aug. Angie will be running in the Women's 4 x 400m relay - with the heats in the evening session on Thurs 5 Aug. We'll be watching and cheering them both on."

The following is quoted from the Athletics Australia team page for the Tokyo Olympics:
Kelsey-Lee Barber: Kelsey has a medal of every colour – Bronze at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, Silver at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, and Gold at the 2019 World Championships in Doha.
But she would dearly like to elevate her fortunes at Olympic level after finishing 28th in the qualifying round of the Rio Games – only the top 12 move through to the final.
Considering her throw of 66.56m to become IAAF World Champion in 2019 would have won her Gold in Rio 2016, Barber is well and truly in the ball park. Kelsey-Lee is currently ranked world No.1 on IAAF list (as of 6/7/21). Her PB is 67.70m in 2019.

Angeline Blackburn: Angie began her track career at the age of 10, ignited by a dream of Olympic glory after seeing strong Indigenous representation at the Sydney 2000 Games.
A proud Monero Ngarigo and Yuin woman from East Gippsland in Victoria, took great strides towards that happening in 2019.
In Canberra that January she set a PB for the 400m (52.71s) and then a month later – again in the national capital – she set a 200m PB (24.15). In June Angie was a member of the 4x400m relay team that took Gold at the Oceania Championships in Townsville.
It's not as if success has come late. Angie was an outstanding junior athlete finishing 6th in the 400m final at the IAAF 2008 World U20 Championships. The Australian 4x400m team took Bronze three days later.
She is a three-time Australian junior champion over 400m (2005, '07, '08). After taking a break from the sport due to years of injury from over-training and medical misdiagnosis, Angie re-emerged in 2016 and within two years, cemented herself as a 400m runner to watch, placing fifth at the 2018 Commonwealth Games trials. Angie is one of 16 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander athletes competing in 11 sports in Tokyo – the largest group of First Nations athletes to be selected for an Australian Olympic team.

2020 Annual Turkey Fun Run Results!
SCT's annual Xmas Turkey Run was held on Sunday, 13 December, at Fadden Pines. The run started at 4.30PM in pleasantly mild and sunny conditions.

The course lap distance was 2050 metres (4.1k for 2 laps) with people having the option of completing 1 or 2 laps. Participants walked or ran without the aid of a watch or GPS device. The course was mostly off road using dirt paths and single tracks through the pines, designed by Jim White.

Runners Shop vouchers for the three people guessing closest to their finish time were awarded, the winner Phil Simpson guessing just 2.0 seconds away from the actual time. The major 'turkey' voucher prize was won by Nigel England for guessing closest to 2 minutes 30 seconds away from a correct time. Thanks all for participating and we hope to see you (and your friends) around the same time next year.

Remembering Mike Sexton:
South Canberra Tuggeranong is sad to announce that club stalwart and Life Member, Mike Sexton, passed away on Sunday 25 October 2020 at the age of 68 after a multi-year battle with multiple myeloma — a blood cancer. Officially, Mike was Treasurer at SCT for the best part of two decades — and for much of that time he carried the Secretary's duties as well. In practice, he was a backbone of the club who picked up any tasks that needed doing cheerfully and would always pitch in without ever wanting to be thanked. He invariably had a smile and a cheerful anecdote. His commitment extended beyond official club duties, including tutoring or helping out athletes through schooling or other commitments.

His most enduring legacy will be his commitment to the Fadden Pines Cross Country Series that we run as a club. Mike was always there to set out the course, cheered on all the kids, organised the special pizza or bbq days and painstakingly organised certificates for all the children at the end of the season. While he kept an eye out on the talented kids, he was always most impressed by those who came along, persevered and kept turning up. The club instituted a perpetual Mike Sexton Trophy for the active participation this year in his honour.

A typical example of Mike's character is that, when the club wanted to award Mike with Life Membership in 2017, the Committee was obliged to make the decision at a meeting that Mike couldn't attend. He would have vetoed any decision and possibly refused to accept it.

Around the club, his favourite story about his time on the committee was to recount his thoughts on receiving a letter from a young javelin thrower who had ambitions to make the Commonwealth Games team. He would recount how he thought Kelsey-Lee Roberts was dreaming and how happy he was to have been wrong. We wouldn't have had a World Champion in the club without Mike.

Mike is survived by his wife Lorraine, four children and five grand-children. He will be greatly missed around the club but his cheerful commitment to getting everything done behind the scenes will remain an inspiration to us all.

A memorial page has been set up by Mike's family at www.michaeljohnsexton.com for friends to read and contribute memories of Mike for publication.
2020 Fadden Pines Cross-Country Series:
After a long wait for COVID-19 restrictions to be eased, we are finally able to let you know our plans for this year's cross country season. We are still waiting on a couple of final things to get ticked off, but we intend to start next Sunday - 5 July - and run through to Sunday 20 September.
Understandably, things will run a little differently to ensure we can adhere to necessary hygiene and physical distancing requirements. The biggest change is that we are changing the schedule to reduce the number of people at any one time - runs will start at 2:30pm with four separate runs at the following times:
2:30pm - 750m
2:45pm - 1250m
3:00pm - 2000m
3:15pm - 2500m
Results will be published on the fadp2020.html page.
We will be spacing runners out at the start line and when they finish and will be using disposable place cards. At this stage, we will not be providing any food or drinks - either weekly treats or special events.

To help us, we would appreciate it if you can explain this to your children and encourage them to be careful with distancing and use the hand sanitiser we will provide. It would also help us if you can print off the registration form (copy can be request via email sctathletics@gmail.com) and bring it along already filled out. We will need a phone contact for every runner this season in case it is needed for contact tracing. Prices for this season will remain the same as the last few years. If you pay for the whole season (12 weeks) it is $30 for the first child in the family, $20 for the second and $10 for the third (to a maximum of $60 per family). If you pay weekly, it is $3 / $2 / $1 on the same pattern. Please try to bring exact change to minimise money handling.
2019 Annual Turkey Fun Run Results!
SCT's annual Xmas Turkey Run was held on Sunday, 8 December, at Fadden Pines. The run started at 4.30PM in warm conditions with the smoke haze from bushfires not too bad.

The course was all off road using dirt paths and single tracks through the pines, designed by Jim White. Runners Shop vouchers for the three people guessing closest to their finish time were awarded, $150 for 1st place won by David Ryan who was just 1.36 seconds away from the perfect guess! $100 for 2nd place went to Masee Naidoo and $50 for 3rd to Nerida Spaccavento.

The winter season Schools' XC competition commenced on 6 May with a record number of registrations. Links to results can be found at the bottom of the Fadden Pines page.
Roberts and Frew win Vikings' Annual Sports Awards:
Congratulations to Kelsey-Lee Roberts for winning the 2018 Senior Vikings Award and Connor Frew the junior (U18) award at the recent Vikings Group Awards Dinner.
Kelsey-Lee also recently competed at the Australian Athletics Championships and won silver with a throw of 62.21m which has secured her an automatic Commonwealth Games qualifier and a place on the Australian team at the Gold Coast in April.

We should congratulate Michael Hosking on making the Commonwealth Games team - he was an SCT junior and member until he moved from Canberra in his early 20s. Michael placed second Australian behind Dane Bird-Smith in the recent Australian 20km Race Walking Championships with a PB of 1:23:10 and is an automatic nomination for the Commonwealth Games team.

2016 Annual Turkey Fun Run Results!
SCT's annual Xmas Turkey Run was held on Sunday, 11 December, at Fadden Pines. The event was a great success with all participants (and helpers) enjoying a lovely sunny morning. The winner of 'the bird' (a frozen turkey from Erindale Meats) was Suzanne Counsel, selected by finishing closest to 3 minutes from her estimated time.

The course distance was 4.456 kilometres (2 laps), with some people completing 1 lap (marked ** in the results) and having their time doubled for the calculations. The 3 major Runners Shop gift vouchers were presented by Nick Walshe: Sarah Kirk ($150), Aidan Pitt ($100) and Maia Pitt ($50). Thanks all for participating and we hope to see you (and your friends) around the same time next year.

Grand Final for Fadden Pines 2016:
The 2016 Fadden Pines cross country season wrapped up on Sunday afternoon with some tight handicap racing in beautiful August sunshine. The handicap events brought out the best of the children racing, with most of them posting their best times of the season.

The 750m handicap was dominated by the two youngest competitors with 4 year old Alexandra Young just getting past her 3 year old cousin Heidi Young with about 5m to go.
The 1250m handicap was lead home by Nicholas Wawn and Sebastian Young who both ran PBs of about a minute on the course. The top 8 runners in this all set PBs in some close racing.
The 2000m saw newcomer (to Fadden Pines and to Canberra) Honey Proudfoot lead the field home after what turned out to be some generous handicapping. Sebastian C Young was second home.
The 2500m turned into the Hughes family race with father Andrew winning from daughter Claire and son Alex stormed through the field to claim a narrow 4th. Alex was denied 3rd by a spectacular final sprint by Aislinn Ryan but he ran the fastest 2.5km at Fadden Pines for many years.

Congratulations to all the competitors both on Sunday and through the whole season. It was great you could take part and we hope you'll be back next year with all your friends.
The final part of the day was the presentations for the schools pointscore competitions over the season. The winners were as follows:

Girls
U7 Holy Family
U9 St Francis of Assisi
U11 St Francis of Assisi

2015 Annual Turkey Fun Run Results!
SCT's annual Xmas Turkey Run for 2015 was held on Sunday, 13 December, at Fadden Pines. The event was a great success with all participants (and helpers) enjoying a lovely sunny morning. The winner of 'the bird' (a frozen turkey from Erindale Meats) was Scott Marshall, selected at random by our trusty computer. Course designer Jim White won the event, with an estimated time less than one second away from his actual time! All participants ran or walked without the aid of watches, GPS devises or phones.

The course distance was 4.52 kilometres (2 laps), with some people completing 1 lap and having their time doubled for the calculation of results. Winners of the 3 major Runners Shop gift vouchers were: Rohan Hosking ($150), Jenny Hefford ($100) and Janette Yeung ($50). A selection of photos are available on SCT's Facebook Page. Thanks all for participating and we hope to see you (and your friends) around the same time next year.

SCT Athletics News - incl scholarship opportunities:
We have had a great start to the summer track season, with SCT athletes very visible at every meet so far. We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all of the athletes who have joined our club this season. We hope you enjoy your time with us and set many personal bests.

We have still had a few issues with the new membership system and there are some people who have joined SCT that are not showing up in our membership list. If you are showing up with SCT for your results at the track, please let me know so we can sort it out.

A very big congratulations and good luck to all the SCT athletes selected for the All Schools Championships in Melbourne. We have had at least 13 athletes selected (noting membership issues mean I may have missed one or two). Congratulations to Grace Unwin, Brandon Bardsley, Jacob Church, Colby Eddowes, Tim Fraser, Conner Frew, Rohan Hosking, Balthazar Lai, Hugh McKenzie, Adrian Plummer, Keiran Reilly, Jack Wallis, and Gwyllym Young.

Our major sponsor, the Vikings groups, offers annual scholarships for college and university students who are promising athletes in affiliated clubs. We have had athletes on scholarship with the Vikings every year recently. If you are going into college or uni, I have attached the details and application forms. They need to be submitted by Monday 7 December and we will write a supporting letter to go with your application. For more details, send us an email or get in touch with Peter Hosking - peter.hoskings [AT] gmail.com or 0402 096 664.

Finally, some club information for those who may not have heard it before. We have club records that can be found on our website (female and male) - www.sctathletics.com. If you want to claim a record, send us an email with the details or fill out the linked form.

Also, we offer financial assistance to members to travel to national and international competitions. For more information, please read the long standing policy on our website here: http://sctathletics.com/a_policy.html.

Hope to see you all at the track soon.

Cheers,

Ryan
President
Fadden Pines Handicap Final a great success!
The final event of the 2015 Fadden Pines Schools' Cross Country Season was held on Sunday 23 August. All four races were run using handicap starts and judging by the results, the 'Tortoise and the Hare' effect produced Personal Best times for many runners. There was one course record broken, by Kiefer Brennan, with a time of 7:51.0 for the boys' 2000 metres.

All runners, parents and helpers enjoyed the day. SCT would like to thank Mike, Ryan, Jane, Trish (especially for the BBQ on the day!), Jim (especially for the freshly painted posts marking the course) and any other people who helped out during the season. Schools' Team Results will be coming soon. We're looking forward to seeing you all (and new friends!) next May for the 2016 season.

Coaches Association Fees:
The SCT committee has approved payment of Australian T & F Coaches Association annual fees for coaches connected with SCT who are actively coaching SCT athletes. Contact Mike Sexton for further details.
