Oxfordshire Athletics

Can I take this opportunity to remind all clubs and athletes that, in accord with the change introduced by UK-A, there is need for a parent or guardian's signature for ALL athletes aged under 18 in all events. This may represent difficulties for students studying away from their home; and as such, all athletes should allow themselves enough time to complete the necessary documentation in advance of event closing dates.

John Sear
Chairman, OAA

Entry documentation has been sent to clubs today (14/02/18). Is it worth repeating that if any club hasn’t had their info to contact Rose (we have been unable to ontact some clubs).

Origional post is here.

The Championships this year will again be held at Horspath and the final timetable and entry form available in due course. However, athletes and coaches may like to note the following:

It is essential that the length of the championships is not more than 8 hours on each of the days. This can best be achieved by removing some events (3000m, 5000m and 10000m; Steeple-chases) to other occasions during the summer.

Due to Exeter Hall being unavailable on Friday evening the Oxon AA Committee Meeting is CANCELLED. A replacement date will be made shortly.

Best regards

Lyn Hopkins

Secretary
Oxon AA

Congratulations to Tracey Fernandez, who has recently gained a Level 2 (Field Judge) qualification.

There is an update to this post here.

The attached letter will be emailed out to all Club Secretaries and Team Managers from the 2017 relays, early February, together with the relevant documents.  If you do not receive this letter, please contact Rose Webb email: rose.webb@eskimo.org.uk

It has been pointed out to me that the information sheet indicated that team awards for the veterans would be based on runners from all age groups; not the V1, V2 and V3 groups as occur in some county events.

Hence the first three teams in the Veteran men and women categories are:

MEN:
Oxford City - 107 points (Jones 5; Richardson 9; Atyeo 21; Grant 72)
Eynsham RR - 123 points (Lewis 19; Storey 29; Pollard 36; Warburton 39)
Woodstock H - 151 points (Bolton 8; Cantwell 41; Linnell 50; Webster 52)

In addition to those athletes already invited to run at Loughborough on the basis of coming in the first six at the recent county XC championships, the remaining athletes and reserves will be selected on the basis of performances at the forthcoming SEAA championships, Chilton League and Oxmail League at Swindon. The final teams will be listed after the Swindon fixture. Any clubs with athletes not competing but wishing to still be considered must get the information to the County Chairman by 1st February latest.

Senior, U20 and team results can be downloaded on this page. The power of ten link is here. Junior results were posted in a previous article.

Note: team medals will be handed to clubs at the Swindon XC event; I will also deal with the individual medals at the same venue - all will be handed to team managers. Again, any queries or errors to me ASAP!

Attached are the results from the Junior Cross Country Championships held on Sunday 7th January 2018.
