2017 Recipient |
Reason |
| Chairman’s Award |
Steve Newell |
The chairman's recognition of the considerable efforts of Steve who
has proved invaluable with the support that he has given him, the work
he does for the communications digest every week and the events that he
has organised for the club - for instance including the winter handicap
event, where he has sacrificed his own running opportunity to ensure
that we continue to have the event. |
| Alamo Trophy |
Tim Bellars, John Scaife and Benita Scaife |
Deserting their friends and colleagues after the finish of the 10k
in order to taxi over and run the Singapore East Coast Park parkrun, on
at the same time as the WARR 5k. |
| Brian Forrester 10K Trophy |
Adrian Haines |
Winning the KLM 10k championships on the North Sea Beach in December
when he should have been preparing for the indoor 800m season. |
| Round The Block Trophy |
Roderick Hoffman |
Very close from last year's winner Steve Hillier- it required a
recount! |
| Men’s Track and Field |
Steve Hillier |
Mainly for his ability to lob large lumps of metal a reasonable
distance. |
| Ladies' Track and Field |
Janet Smith |
Janet Smith continued her great form in the centre of the arena,
throwing international class distances, especially in the discus and
hammer and hence narrowly beat last year's winner Julie Barclay to this
year's award. |
| The Club parkrun Trophy |
Roderick Hoffman |
parkrun uber-tourist in the last year visiting 43 different parkruns
of which 34 were new to him and 15 new to the club. This included
parkruns in six countries including new parkrun countries of Sweden and
Germany. |
| Men’s Cross-Country Trophy |
Gary Rushmer |
Ran in every BA event, leading the team home at the dreaded Croydon
and took two strong second places. |
| Ladies Cross-Country Trophy |
Deby Helsdon |
Had a great run at Nonsuch, then led the team home at both Ham and
Coulsdon, only stopping to turn and cheer the rest of the team home. |
| Most Improved Athlete |
Paul Watt |
A product of the world famous Rowley stable Paul brought his 5k
times down close to 20 minutes, and his 10K time improved to a fraction
over 44 minutes. He has represented the club on both the track and the
road, producing great times over both 1500 metres and 3000 metres. |
| Female Athlete of the Year |
Trish McCabe |
She has worked supremely hard to improve her ability over long
distance, and to improve her speed on shorter runs. In the meantime she
has inspired others around her to take part and enjoy athletics. She
has brought her parkrun best below 26 minutes, completed her first
London Marathon, and she ran more than 1000 miles in 2017.
|
| Male Athlete of the Year |
Neil Frediani |
He has kept our Rosenheim challenge alive, brought along new
competitors to try the events, and he has helped to grow the club with
his links to parkrun. In the meantime, he has worked hard on his own
running, with great results. As well as running strongly in the London
Marathon and the Ealing Half Marathon, he completed the Snowdonia trail
half marathon, finishing 8th in his category.
|
| Veteran’s Trophy |
Harry Wild |
Sixty years after running his best times over 880yards he is still
to be found striding the streets of Heston. What’s more, at every CIE
he is at some far flung street corner in his bright yellow jacket,
directing us around dodgy corners with a cheery wave. Most importantly,
he is the guardian of the legendary cone, to be found approximately half
a mile from the start/finish of the Parkway Mile. The club has been
enriched by his efforts and his friendship. |
