PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2015/16 – MARK LYDEN
Well another full year has seemed to just fly by again and we are a few weeks into a new registra�on
year. I would firstly like to thank all our members for once again staying loyal to the club and the
sport through the 2015/16 season. It is becoming an ever increasing compe��on for clubs to a%ract
and retain members in a world that is full of more sports and ac�vi�es than you could poke a s�ck
at. Combine this with the increasing pressures of study, employment and �me-sucking smartphones
it is amazing that anyone has �me for sport. Overall, our par�cipa�on numbers are going okay but
certainly could do with a boost of some younger blood in the junior age groups. It is quite strange
that currently the open age group is our biggest growth category. Yes it’s the biggest age bracket
range but normally you would expect it to be more tapering at the tail end not ge/ng fa%er. And
it’s not just our club; TMA membership, is also recording record levels of growth in another good
reflec�on that athle�cs is a sport for life. Reten�on of athletes across the 20’s range is also slightly
be%er than it has been in the past, which is another posi�ve sign as this age group has been an area
in which all clubs have struggled with due to extra �me pressures such as study and career building.
As a club we do need to find ways to a%ract and retain more junior athletes as they are the future of
the club and an essen�al pathway to success at the club premiership level. A key part to moving
forwards would be finding ways to address the severe shortage (across the whole state) in qualified
coaches capable of mee�ng the needs of junior athletes. For example, being available in that post
school hours window, being able to cater for a range of abili�es across a broader spectrum of events
and not having too larger squads that individual a%en�on can s�ll be given.
Another key area is the a%rac�on of volunteers and officials to be able to effec�vely deliver events,
at both club and branch level. So members have posi�ve experiences and can use those experiences
to portray the club and sport in posi�ve light to others. While the club’s commi%ee has become
much stronger in the last year with the addi�on of some much needed new hands we are s�ll
struggling to meet our targets and responsibili�es we have as a club to our members and the local
and state bodies. While I recognise that not everyone has the �me to be on the commi%ee or help
out at every event, I don’t think it’s unreasonable for all club members to occasionally put their club
and teammates before themselves and forgo individual achievement for the benefit of others.
Across the board there are too many “users” for a sport which solely is reliant on the goodwill of a
limited number of volunteers to provide the services that we all enjoy. It has been iden�fied for
some �me at local/state administra�on level that the sport is not opera�ng at a sustainable level in
terms of volunteers and that the only way around this without an increase in ac�ve member
par�cipa�on in these roles is to financially incen�vise the roles. This would mean higher
administra�on costs and therefore higher par�cipa�on cost pushed back onto the user. So if you
want to keep the sport cost effec�ve into the future get out and lend a hand as the more hands we
have the less work and more fun we can all have.
This will be my last presiden�al report for a while as I am stepping down from my posi�on a=er nine
years in the role. While it has been a lot of hard work I am proud to have had the opportunity to
lead the club over my �me as president. I will freely admit that at many �mes I have struggled with
aspects of the posi�on as administra�on is not one of my best skills but, at all �mes I was trying to
do my best to keep things moving forward and do thing in the best interest of the club and its
members. I do feel I have managed to achieve some good outcomes for the club during my �me
which will hopefully serve our members well into the future.
I would personally like to thank all the members of the commi%ee who have served the club under
my leadership. It was great to work with you all and I certainly could not have done it without your
assistance. While I am leaving the role I am s�ll going to be around to assist the club as best I can.
Hopefully I can get the body back working properly again so I can be a more effec�ve club member
out on the track, pu/ng the blue and white back on top of the table where it belongs.
TREASURER’S REPORT 2015/16 – ELISE HUMPHREY
This last year has been full of changes for Sandy Bay - we’ve struggled with the loss and subsequent
purchase of new equipment a=er the the= of our trailer and had to write off a significant amount of
uniform stock – bodysuit anyone? We have secured a new uniform supplier in Bolt & Run Co, who
very kindly donated a significant amount of stock to us – thank you Jay! With this partnership, our
members get a discount when purchasing gear directly from B & R, using the code B&RVIP2016.
We’re also able to reduce the cost of SB singlets to $30, from $45. We’ll have new hoodies and tee’s
available to purchase soon too.
We’ve had a few BBQs, and a Quiz Night that have raised just over $1000 for us this year, which is a
fantas�c effort. Thanks to David Davis-Jones for his generous dona�on of auc�on items and to the
Running Edge, Salamanca Fresh, Lululemon, Find Your Feet, Kingborough Sports Centre and Sportsco
for prizes. Our Term Deposits of $20,000 and $30,000, have earned $807 in interest.
Thank you to Mike Walker, who once again completed our audit this year; to Olivia Gillie who kindly
sold Entertainment books on our behalf last year, her contribu�on of $143 was gratefully received;
and to Bolt & Run Co who kindly donated a significant amount of stock to us (don’t forget club
members get a discount on all gear using the code ‘B&RVIP2016’ when ordering). We’re always keen
to have people help out with fundraising, it’s how we can help support our members with things like
travel assistance. If you have any idea’s, or would like to help out but don’t want to be on the
commi%ee, let us know!

SBHC Out of Stadium Report
The 2015 winter season saw the club well represented on most weeks resulting in 3rd place finishes
in both the Men’s and Women’s club premierships. It was pleasing to see some new faces and an
increase in numbers as well as some impressive individual performances throughout the course of
the season. Life Member Daniel Smee refuses to slow down with age and produced many
outstanding races to not only win several events but also be crowned as the Athletics South Male
Athlete of the Season. Daniel Clarke finished in equal 2nd place for this award with Ruby Smee
running strongly throughout the year to also finish in equal 2nd place in the Female Athlete of the
season award.
There were some notable performances in the Road Championship and Cross Country Championship
Series events held within the Athletics South calendar. In the Open category Daniel Clarke won the
Road Series with Alex Humphrey 3rd, with Clarke also managing 3rd in the Cross Country Series. In the
U/20 age group Bini Hagos finished in 2nd place in the Men’s and Jemma Smith 2nd in the Women’s in
the Cross Country Series. Promising juniors Lachie Chambers and Ruby Smee achieved strong results
in the U/15 Series’ with Chambers taking 1st place in both the Road and Cross Country male events
and Ruby finishing 2nd in both categories for females. Francesca Smith and Dean Giblin each ran well
throughout both Series’ to claim 1st place in each in the O/40 Women’s and O/50 Men’s categories
respectively. In addition to his Athlete of The Season award, Daniel Smee also claimed 1st place in
the O/40 Cross Country and Road Series events. In the Handicap race series Michael Sullivan was
able to race above himself to take overall honours including taking 1st place across the line in the
8km Froggy Wise Memorial Race.
Sandy Bay teams performed well at the Tasmanian Championship event with the Men’s Open team
claiming the gold medal in the team’s event. Individuals to claim medals included Ruby Smee (2nd
U/16 Female), Lachie Chambers (3rd U/16 Male), Dejen Gebreselassie (3rd Open Male), Elaine
Marquardt (1st O/60), and Chris Gates (2nd O/60).
On the Fun Run circuit, Sandy Bay athletes excelled with the highlights being Biniyam Hagos’ win in
the City to Casino 7km event and a double in the Ross Half Marathon, with Daniel Clarke and
Francesca Smith victorious. A special mention to Jarrod Shaw for completing his second Comrades
Ultra-marathon in a time of 8 hours, 11 minutes and 34 seconds. Official OOS competition over the
summer saw the Tasmanian Marathon and Half Marathon Championships held in conjunction with
the Cadbury Marathon. Several Sandy Bay members took part with the standout performance being
Alex Humphrey’s 2nd place finish in the marathon event.
The camaraderie and atmosphere at the winter season events was fantastic and we thank our
competitors and members for helping to make the season what it is and look forward to bigger and
better things.
2015/16 Bill Dunn & Laura Triffett 400m Handicaps Report
The annual Bill Dunn and Laura Triffett 400m handicap events were held on 19 December as part of
Athletics South’s Reunion Day. The unenviable task of handicapping the field fell to Daniel Clarke
who set about tackling the role with all the strategic guile of a grand chess master. His first task was
to ensure that he didn’t win the Bill Dunn Memorial race himself and thus avoid an almost certain
post-race lynching. This was achieved by giving himself a mark 16 seconds behind the front marker
Craig Downie.
With last year’s winner Russell Taib out with injury, Ryan Foster was given the dubious honour of
starting at the rear of the field from a mark of 24 seconds. Half way down the back straight and the
field had bunched together, with the exception of the front marker who had a 50m break on the
chasing pack. Foster was looking ominous, making ground with every stride and Lachlan Chambers
also looked to be in with a show. However, it was veteran distance runner Daniel Smee who
emerged from the pack and set off in pursuit of his even older rival. Drawing inspiration from his
win in the event 25 years earlier, Smee shook off the shackles of age to draw within 15m of the lead
at the top of the home straight. Not to be outdone, Downie found an extra gear, only to be passed
in the final metre of the race by Smee, with Chambers grabbing third ahead of a rampaging Foster.
The women’s race was well supported, with nearly all of our small tribe of registered athletes
fronting the starter’s gun. Club stalwart Jessica Palermo was sent out as the rabbit for the
greyhounds to chase, followed by the ever-green Francesca Smith (11 seconds), who was backing up
from a slashing 4.57 performance earlier in the day in the Max Cherry 1500m. Golden girl, Abigail
Rothery, fresh from her win in the Jo Millar-Cubit Long Jump event was the backmarker off 20
seconds, one second behind Agnes Sakina. At the half way mark, it looked to be a race in two, with
Madison Chambers looking the goods having edged past Lucy Taranto. Last year’s winner, Ruby
Smee, dug deep up the straight to edge past Taranto on the line but there was no heading
Chambers, who went on to win by two seconds.

SBHC Track and Field Report 2015/16
After a strong finish to the 2014/15 season, it was hoped that the club could sustain this momentum
into 2015/16 with increased participation in both the men’s and women’s interclub competition.
Unfortunately, a combination of injuries and a loss of athletes to other clubs and sports meant that
our numbers competing each week were down and we were never a chance of matching it with the
two bigger clubs in the interclub premiership. Nonetheless, we were well represented each week
and welcomed a number of new members to the club.
It was particularly pleasing to see the improvement in our junior athletes - including Sorin Vanzino,
Noah Patterson-Robert, James Tucker, James Taranto, Lachie Chambers, Jemma Smith, Alycia
Hardwick and Ruby Smee in the distance events; Lucy Taranto, Agnes Sakina, Oliver Creek, Tahlia
Bortignon, Simon Zinzovski and Oliver Burrows-Cheng in the sprints; Jagga Pybus in the jumps, Indy
Brideson in the throws and all round athletes Ethan Clements, Patrick Kearney and Madison
Chambers. Russell Taib represented Australia at the Youth Commonwealth Games in Malaysia in
September but was unfortunately unable to reach peak form during the season due to a hamstring
injury. A number of our athletes represented the State at the National All Schools Championships in
Melbourne in December and again in the National Underage Championships in Perth in March, in
which Ruby Smee was able to claim a bronze medal in the U/17 3,000m. Ruby set a number of club
records during the season and was victorious in the Max Cherry Memorial 1500m, which is a very
special event for our club.
In the senior ranks, Abbie Rothery led the way for our women, performing at a high level all season
in a multitude of events. She took out the Jo Millar Cubit long jump event at the Reunion Day, was
our best performer in the State Open Championships in Launceston and went on to represent the
State at in the Heptathlon at the National Championships in Brisbane in March. Francesca Smith had
another outstanding season, setting new State records in the Masters W45 mile and 10,000m.
Jessica Palermo was a consistent and dedicated performer, whilst we were buoyed by the addition
of Amy Pedder and Casey Jones to our women’s team.
For the senior men, Jared Gilroy, Vandy Kanneh, Nicholas Graver and Cameron Cranfield performed
at a consistently high level in the sprint events and regularly put their hands up for relays. Jared was
rewarded for his hard work over the season with a State 400m title and a bronze medal in the 200m.
Marc Gates showed solid improvement in the distance events, collecting silver medals in the State
Open 1500m and Steeplechase events and showing his versatility with a third silver in the high jump.
The Lyden and Sullivan brothers were sighted irregularly throughout the season due to work
commitments and injury but scored loads of points for the club on the days they did compete. Nick
Campbell, Dejen Gebreselassie, Alex Humphrey and Daniel Clarke were regular contributors on and
off the field, whilst our Masters aged athletes in Paul Tucker, Chris Gates, Dean Giblin, Frank Strk,
Daniel Smee, Len Powell, Paul Taranto all chipped in throughout the season. We were delighted to
welcome back Ryan Foster to the club after seven years in the United States, during which time he
set multiple Tasmanian records. Ryan returns with his wife Karaleigh, who is also an extremely
accomplished distance runner.
Club Decathlon
The second Athle�cs South Club Decathlon was held on the evening of 16 December 2015,
with the club represented by the following team:
Men Women
100m Cameron Cranfield Amy Pedder

Javelin Patrick Lyden Agnes Sakina
We needed every single one of our registered women who were available on the night to
form a team and were delighted when it was announced that they had taken out third
place, with the men fourth. Many thanks to all athletes who competed, with par�cular
men�on to those par�cipa�ng in events outside of their comfort zone (Daniel Clarke, Lucy
Taranto and Madison Chambers).
Coaching
Coaches are the life-blood of our sport and we are extremely fortunate that our athletes are
supported by some fantas�c coaches including: David Davis-Jones, Peter Lyden, Rex Morris,
Dean Giblin, Sco% Goldsmith, Simon Benne%, Damien Lawler, Susan Andrews, Wayne
Mason, Evan Peacock, Mike Pace and Jy Webb. Coaching and support was provided to the
Queenborough Li%le Athle�cs Centre during the season in an endeavour to make our club
known to athletes making the transi�on to senior ranks. Thanks to David Davis-Jones,
Daniel Clarke and Mark Lyden for their efforts in rela�on to this ini�a�ve.
OfficiaBng
During the track and field season, Sandy Bay is required to provide sufficient officials to
ensure that compe��on can be conducted in all of the jumps events. This includes events
that are conducted by Athle�cs South on behalf of Athle�cs Tasmania (eg State
Championships). We only had a handful of helpers last season but are grateful for the
�reless work of Lynne Lyden and Rex Morris on the long jump pit and Anna Smee and
Jessica Palermo at the high jump. Others to lend a hand during the season were Nick
Campbell, Elise Humphrey, Ruby Smee, Paul Taranto, Phil Clements and Daniel Clarke. Your
assistance was most appreciated.
