2018 Recipient |
Reason |
| Chairman’s Award |
Simon Turton |
The chairman's recognition is to Simon Turton for maintaining our
relationship and image with the London Marathon organisation. That
enables us to benefit financially, to obtain additional Marathon entries
and for members to enjoy the experience of marshalling four or five key
events each year. |
| Alamo Trophy |
Piers Keenleyside |
For circumstances which led to Piers Keenleyside embarrassing his
colleagues at the Clover Point parkrun (undertaken after the WARR 10k
race) by finishing significantly after the tail runner. |
| Brian Forrester 10K Trophy |
Tim Bellars |
For being the top BA finisher at the WARR 10k events in Victoria,
British Columbia and the KLM 10k Beach Race in December. |
| Round The Block Trophy |
Steve Newell |
Over 250 colleagues and friends scored points in the club's Round
the Block trophy competition with fifteen colleagues scoring from ten or
more events. Very close from last year's winner Roderick Hoffman, but
Steve Newell eventually won with 51 points accumulated from 24 different
club events. |
| Men’s Track and Field |
Steve Hillier |
Steve Hillier for frequent and all round participation and for
representing BA in the heavy throws. |
| Ladies' Track and Field |
Janet Smith |
Janet Smith proved difficult to catch due to her all-round
performances and inparticular her outstanding discus and hammer throws
including setting a new World Record for Hammer Decathlon. |
| The Club parkrun Trophy |
David Duggan |
For his dedication to parkrun and to BA's involvement David Duggan
managed to clock up 54 "weekly Saturday runs" in 2018 AND also logged
104 parkrun volunteer activities over the twelve months! That included
16 run reports covering parkruns all over the world. |
| Men’s Cross-Country Trophy |
Gary Rushmer |
Competition for this award was fierce, with 24 runners competing in
at least one race. Gary Rushmer ran in every BA event, was never out of
the top five BA runners, and took a fine second place at Roundshaw
Downs. |
| Ladies Cross-Country Trophy |
Helen Smith |
Ran in all five Ladies Cross Country events, encouraging her team
mates to achieve performances to be proud of, and quietly continued as
the inspiration which held the team together. |
| Most Improved Athlete |
Tim Bellars |
Increasing success over the year at the Green Belt Relay, at WARR,
in Surrey League Cross Country matches and in the KLM Beach run. |
| Female Athlete of the Year |
Jacqui Musselwhite |
Jacqui Musselwhite was our fastest runner this year over the shorter
distances in the Veterans and Rosenheim Leagues. In September, she went
on to compete in Malaga in the World Masters Track and Field. Good
individual runs included a four-second PB in the 800m. Her
highlight of the weekend was when she secured a bronze medal for GB in
the 4 x 400m relay. |
| Male Athlete of the Year |
Chris Kelly |
Chris Kelly was our only sub-four hour marathon finisher in the heat of
last year's London Marathon. As well as masterminding the team
entry in the Green Belt Relay he also ran the 56mile Comrades Marathon
for the second time to win the coveted "back to back" medal. As well as
his participation in the Dream Mile, Handicap events and Club Cross
Countries, Chris chose to “warm down” the year with a steady 3:16 in the
Chicago Marathon.
|
| Veteran’s Trophy |
Adrian Haines |
For his achievements for club and country in Masters competitions
including breaking the club mile record, the British 4x800m relay record
and the British Masters 800m. Adrian finished the season ranked 1st in
the UK in the 800m Masters. |
