RESULTS
Just to clarify, that the results I publish can be different to those that are shown on the Power of 10. The differences relate to seasons and personal best performances. For example in the recent EYAL results, an athlete in the 200m ran (24.1), and on his profile his season’s best was shown as (23.88) indoors. As the 200m indoors and outdoors are totally different type of events, I had shown the (24.1) as a season’s best.
The Power of 10 publishes separate UK rankings for indoor and outdoor performances.

WHY THE BRITISH ATHLETICS SELECTION BAR IS SET SO HIGH – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

“Setting tough standards helps improve performance levels,” writes UKA chair IAN BEATTIE as he outlines the reasoning behind the governing body’s strict policy. There has been a lot of discussion before every championship about the selection policy that UKA has in place. I wanted to explain the thinking behind it in more detail. Ever since lottery funding came into place, the philosophy underpinning all lottery funded UK elite sport has been about ‘World Class Performance’. Ultimately this means winning medals in world level competition, inspiring the nation in doing so. World Class Programme Lottery funding is ring-fenced – only to be used to support athletes in their build up ultimately to the Games, to fund governing bodies to help athletes, and to fund teams taking part in those championships and Games.

Whilst this means the World Class Programme has been somewhat shielded from the financial issues of the rest of the organisation, like any public money, those who receive it are accountable for it, in our case via UK Sport. While some sports will only select athletes with medal potential, we have agreed with UK Sport that an aim of achieving top eight performance fits the world class criteria they are prepared to fund. Athletics has many disciplines, so our teams tend to be much bigger than other sports and consequently more expensive, and – contrary to belief – we do also have to make a financial contribution to our team attending a Games. UK Sport’s view – and it is a view I agree with – is that an athlete getting to the Olympics with little chance of qualifying from their heat or pool, does not have a significant impact on inspiring the nation, and therefore does not merit public funding. There is also an issue that larger teams can dilute the level of support given during the championships to our genuine medal contenders, and that there is a demotivational effect on the team as a whole when the first few days of the championship are dominated by athletes failing to qualify from their heat or pool.

The World Athletics ranking qualification system has resulted in much debate. We should be clear that this is not a direct invitation to the athlete to take part nor do we ‘turn down’ invites. Rather it is a different qualification route for athletes, allowing national federations to select athletes through this route if they consider it appropriate to do so. Our view is that those athletes should only be selected on similar principles to those selected through the direct qualification standards. That is, those who are capable of making top eight in their event. The UKA standards – circulated amongst the relevant event groups ahead of the policy – reflect this and, in most cases, those used for this year’s selection were the same standards we used for Budapest last year. To take a different approach would risk having a two-tier team, with athletes being selected in events where there is not the same depth of quality despite having little chance of achieving a top eight performance. I have always believed setting tough standards helps improve performance levels. If we consider the team that will be going to Paris, many of the selected athletes will have looked at the qualifying standards when they were issued and thought these would be very difficult to achieve. Their response has been to go away and plan with their support teams how they are going to raise their level of performance through training and competition choices, and then deliver what has been asked of them.

What is required for selection is very clear, whether through achieving the standards themselves or what is needed to be done for a World Athletics ranking qualification to be accepted.  The policy was issued well in advance – in July 2023 – and communicated to all athletes in multiple forums and applied fairly. It would be fantastic to be able to select larger teams take part in championship events, but we want this to be through an increase in the number of athletes having the potential to finish in the top eight. In selecting teams there will always be a line with some people unfortunately on the wrong side of it, and I do understand the disappointment of those who fall into this category. The nature of our sport is that small margins can make a huge difference, and I feel for those who have just missed out on the standard set. As we know, the elite sports world is a tough environment, and athletics – as one of only two truly global sports – is the most competitive at a world and Olympic level. The philosophy around selection being based on world class performance is not going to change so the challenge ahead for all athletes is to raise their levels of performance, achieving the standards required, and be part of the team for future championships. Nothing would please us more than a large team filled with athletes having achieved these standards.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES AT STONEX STADIUM  – As you can see Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers can be more reconisable as you enter StoneX Stadium. The 2 signs are located at both vehicular entrances to Copthall fields. The signs were designed and erected by GERALD FOX on the right in the photograph. He was assisted by JOHN KELLY on the left in the photograph and BEN KELLY in the sighting of the signs.

FRATERNITY CUP 1981-1982  – Many thanks to RAY POWELL who sent me the photograph below, which he believes was taken at the 1981 Fraternity Cup. The 2 Shaftesbury runners running side by side are PHILIP CUNNINGHAM closely followed by KIERON FENNELLY, a little further back is RAY POWELL and just behind him JOHN KELLY.

FRATERNITY AND SORORITY CUPS  – The first Fraternity Cup for Men took place in 1933. Shaftesbury Harriers from 1933 until the present day have had many team wins, and athletes of the calibre of JULIAN GOATER and DAVE BEDFORD have had individual wins.

The Sorority Cup for Women was inaugurated in 2003, unfortunately we are still awaiting our first win, so come on girls.

The course is in Trent Park, and is 5 miles, consisting of 2 laps around the top field and dropping down to the lower field. You do not have to be pre-entered, just turn up and run, and takes place in the first week of November in conjunction with the North West London League.

SHAFTESBURY BARNET HARRIERS ON INSTAGRAM – Since the account was setup, there has been an amazing amount of Videos and Photographs contributed with many comments. There are 3 posts this week.

The first 2 photographs feature ALANNAH FASHANU and KRISHAWN AIKEN after receiving ther National Athletic League Athlete of the Year award for 2023,  they received their awards from GEOFF MORPHITIS.

The final photograph shows RENEE REGIS U20 in the recent UK Championships, in which she finished 3rd in the Senior Women’s 100 semi-final with a seasons best (11.43 w-0.4) taking .08 of a second off her heat time, and is ranked UK No.3 U20 in 2024, and a new club record. RENEE recorded the same time as the 2nd place athlete, and just failed to qualify for the final, following a review of the photo finsh picture.

SHAFTESBURY BARNET HARRIERS NEW INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT– Many thanks to SEAN SUTHERLAND who undertook a review on the best way forward, following this a decision was made to set up a new account, and SEAN has now set that account up.
