Want to make a mark in your school career? Well this could be your year; in fact this could be ISMs year. In hosting both Pre IASAS and IASAS you will have the support of your family and friends as jump further and higher, throw further and run faster – all in the pursuit of personal achievement and IASAS medals.

 

As coaches we will be with you every step of the way. We will work with you to improve your technique – this will require determination and dedication – have faith you can do it. We believe that a progressive training program, commitment and enthusiasm are fundamental to your success. You will be stronger and faster. We will help you develop core strength, correct technique and specific fitness specific to you and your event. These are big promises but believe us by taking on the role as coach means that we are dedicated to making you the best athlete you can be.

 

Once you have developed correct technique you can concentration on training with greater intensity.  The combination of training with good technique and high intensity will result in individual improvement.

 

Success as a team in T&F requires more than just desire. Hard work pays off, and those who give the most, get the most. Last season we had

Daisuki Izutani –Silver medal and a school record for the Triple Jump.

Kit Guerra – Silver in Shot.

Patrick Filamor – 3rd High Jump

Maria Hettle – 3rd Javelin and 4th Discus.

3 school records were broken over the weekend –

Daisuki Izutani Grade 12 - triple jump 12.86m – previously 12.71m 1998

Mike O’Friel Grade 10 - Javelin 44.52m – previously 42.69 by Mark Chatting 2002

Jaime Zobel Grade 9 – 5000m 17min 10.17sec – Jaime broke the school record that had been standing since 1995 the week before IASAS 18min 04sec , then again in IASAS.

 

 

….. And most importantly every athlete bettered previous times, distances and heights.

 

You have the ability, and we believe in you. When you are feeling tired and worn out, we will make sure that you give your best. Remember, if you give 100% when you are feeling down, then when competition begins, you will have that edge, that extra bit of strength, energy and endurance to perform better in front of your home crowd.

 

Winning is not always about first place, it is giving your best effort and having prepared yourself the whole of the way.

By joining us we will give you the opportunity of learning and developing
