Congratulations to Jennifer Rooney who finished second woman in the 5K race at Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA,

in a time of 21 minutes 02 seconds.
 
This was a personal best by 38 seconds and Jennifer was ninth overall and first woman in the 19 to 24 age group in the event which had 185 finishers.
 
The temperature was 11 degrees so it seems just as cold in that part of the USA as it has been over here.

KILBARCHAN FARE POORLY IN THE CSSAL LEAGUE OPENING MATCH

The CSSAL results from 12th May at Wishaw have emerged. There was a very tight spread of results, but unfortunately, Kilbarchan finished 8th.

However this disguises some excellent performances on the day. In their age categories, the senior men were 2nd, the Masters, Senior and U17 Women were all 3rd, but the other age groups were not able to sustain this level unfortunately.

Individually the standout performances were Callum Hawkins and Paul Leck in the 3000m Senior Men, winning by a massive margin of more than 45 seconds - a huge PB for Paul as well. Elsewhere PB for David Kerr in the 400m and good wins for Billy Russell in the Triple Jump and B 100m. There were a number of other good wins for Kilbarchan athletes listed below. We will hope for better in the next two matches.

Kilbarchan event winners
Holly Belch 12.61 100M - SENIOR WOMEN A
Kim Crawford 2.31.06 800M - UNDER 13 GIRLS A
Holly Belch 21.09 JAVELIN - SENIOR WOMEN A
Rachel Pugh 19.71 JAVELIN - SENIOR WOMEN B
Callum Hawkins 8.41.47 3000 M - SENIOR MEN A
Paul Leck 8.43.74 3000 M - SENIOR MEN B
David Kerr 50.20 400 M - SENIOR MEN A
Billy Russell 11.65 100 M - SENIOR MEN B
Billy Russell 11.61 TRIPLE JUMP - SENIOR MEN A
Drew Yeoman 11.12 TRIPLE JUMP - SENIOR MEN B

TRAINING SESSIONS:
 
For some time it has been our practice at Kilbarchan Athletic Club to put the Monday night fartlek sessions on the club web site in advance.
 
This is (1) to provide athletes with information in advance as to the content of the training programme; (2) to enable those using Garmins to pre-programme their watches to the appropriate time/distance settings; (3) to enable those training from home or from gymnasia to do the sessions at a time suitable to their own circumstances; and (4) to allow athletes to adapt the sessions to exercise bike, ski-machine, cycle-machine, treadmill and swimming pool sessions during rehabilitation or inclement weather phases.
 
I know reliably that our sessions are accessed and used by other clubs and their athletes visiting the KAAC web site.
 
Consequently, I am suggesting that we no longer put KAAC sessions into the public domain, otherwise this puts our athletes at a disadvantage if/when rival competitors/clubs know what we are doing and can use our training programme to their own benefit.
 
This has assumed a major dimension during recent weeks with the approach of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year and the requisite acquisition of qualifying times for that event.
 
We have a number of athletes at KAAC who are in contention for Games places and whose training programmes (or some of the programmes) can be utilised by rivals for places in the Scottish CG team.
 
It seems illogical, therefore, that we should be making our programme known to our members' rivals.
 
This is a bit like a football team announcing publicly to their opponents what training they do or what strategies they will employ in and during the run-up to major tournaments.
 
I am proposing, therefore, that we just circulate our training information to our own members or Friends of Kilbarchan AAC (eg former members, club benefactors past and present etc).
 
This would be done by drawing up an e-mail list of people wishing to know the sessions in advance or simply by making the information available by phone or word of mouth at club training sessions.
 
The change would still mean that those wishing for details about the sessions would still have access to that information in advance.
 
The only thing different would be our sessions would be taken from the public domain and restricted to 'in-house' circulation.
 
For the above reasons, I also propose we no longer provide website information in retrospect about the Thursday track sessions.
 
I shall be putting these proposals forward at the next committee meeting so if anyone wishes to comment could they please phone me on 01505 324928 or e-mail: d.parker43@live.co.uk
 
Thank You

Hammerama Grand Prix at Grangemouth Stadium Saturday 20th April 2013


A good day for Kilbarchan AAC at the first Hammerama competition of the year with four athletes achieving PB’s, which I think, would have been higher, as four of the clubs throwers did not attend for whatever reasons.


Results ....
U16 Boys: Andrew Costello: Fourth: 37.73m 4kg PB
Senior Women: Rachel Pugh: Fourth: 26.94 4m 4kg
U18 Girls: Chiara Smith: Ninth: 22.42m 3kg PB
U16 Girls: Heather Fawcett: Seventh: 27.23m: 3kg PB
U14 Girls: Heather Fawcett: Third: 31.35m: 2kg
U12 Girls: Kirsty Costello: First: 35.11m: 2kg: PB

FAREWELL AND THANKS, RICHARD:
 
Richard Beal, who has been a loyal and faithful member of Kilbarchan AAC, is leaving us after five years.
 
Richard is moving out of our area to live in Troon. So Monday 22nd April 2013, is likely to his last session with us.
 
KAAC in general, and the road-running group in particular, wish to thank Richard for all his fine work in posting the club training sessions on the website, supervising sessions and carrying the watch to time the repetitions.
 
Hopefully, we shall see him from time to time at some of our training sessions if and when he can manage along.
 
We wish you all the best, Richard.
 
May all your road-running miles be joyful and light of foot and may our paths cross again from time to time. Happy trails!!
