Possible Programme Switch for Steeplechase/3000 metres heats at NZSS Track,
A suggestion has been made that the Open Girls and Open Boys Steeplechase heats, currently scheduled for late on Saturday morning be switched with the Junior Girls and Senior Boys 3000 metres heats which are scheduled for late in the day on Saturday. The advantage of the shift is that the 3000 metres athletes will have longer to recover between their possible heats and their finals on Sunday. For those who do not qualify for the final it gives longer recovery before taking part in the road race the next morning if that’s what they decide to do. It is rare that heats are held in the Steeplechase and also quite common that the 3000 metres, particularly the Junior Girls, do not require heats either. Comment on this possible change is invited. Please email oe@nzssaa.org.nz with your thoughts. |

Additional opportunity available for AWD athletes
There will be an Open AWD Combined Category 2 km cross country race held at the start of the programme at 10.30 am. AWD athletes may be entered in that event if they consider it is a better option for them rather than competing in the age grade races. AWD athletes must choose between the 2 options though. They cannot do both events. Athletes competing in the open race must have turned 13 prior to the 31st of December 2010 and be under 21 at the same date. |
