Lodge Handicap wrap

June 5, 2017 by Peter McGarry Leave a Comment

A fantastic Lodge Handicap was held by the banks of the Yarra over the traditional 8k & 16k distances on Saturday 3rd June. Over 120 competitors faced the starter up from about 80 generally. This is likely due to the fixturing change made by the APSOC Committee in response to the revised (& often revising) AV fixture.
One must say hats off and well done to the APSOC Committee for making this change – for what it has done is two things:-
1) Allowed the Williamson to be raced in the June school holidays and thus providing the opportunity for every club’s junior athletes to compete in a second Championship race for the season; and
2) Provide a race in the school holidays where the distance is better suited to juniors rather than the 8k of the Lodge.
3) Allowed the Lodge to be better attended due to avoiding the school holidays and lifting the chance for all at SKAAC and the broader APSOC Community the chance to appropriately acknowledge the MASSIVE contribution of Keith & Alan Lodge to SKAAC firstly and APSOC generally.
We all owe Keith & Alan a massive amount for what they have done to steer SKAAC into the position we now find ourselves in. And the Lodge Handicap is the very public way we get to demonstrate this thanks.
So it was fantastic to see Keith’s wife Pat, present along with daughters Fiona and Celeste & Alan Lodge enjoy the race and the afternoon tea afterwards in the Brandon Room at SKC.
We are proud of the Lodge Handicaps and this was on show for all of APSOC to see on 2nd June.
Thanks to SKAAC Cross Country Committee representatives Mark Moussalli, Sam Doble & Tristan Mioni and past SKAAC Committee Member (& immediate past APSOC President) Nick O’Neill for the long day they put in yesterday to make the event the success that it was. Mark’s co-ordination of the afternoon tea was simply brilliant and well received by everyone.
On the track SKAAC had a very successful day with:-

16km highlights…
* Xavier Chapman the fastest over the 16km course in 53.47
* Lincoln Mah 64:33

8km Highlights
* Joe Lynch 31:45
* Sam Doble 32:27
* Karen Thorpe 32:50 (the second fastest female over the 8km course)
* Trish Doble 35:50 (the fastest female in the 50+ category over the 8km course)
* Olivia Mitchell 37:40
* Paul Hope 39:28
* Steph Greenslade 39:37
* Emily Wallace 41:32
* Stuart Pettigrew 46:00

Club member Ned O’Brien named as Cross Country Captain at St. Kevin’s College

May 29, 2017 by Peter McGarry Leave a Comment

On behalf of the SKAAC Committee we congratulate long time club member Ned O’Brien on being announced as 2017 Cross Country Captain at St. Kevin’s College. Ned has been a mainstay of our club for many years having started with us during his time at Glendalough in season 2011/2012.
Ned has been a trailblazer in so many ways being the first SKC primary student to join the senior boys for training, and in doing so, re-defining the way that development of young SKC athletes takes place.
Ned has been a SKAAC Club Champion at both Under 13 & 14 level in 2011/2012 and again was duly awarded the Under 14 Track & Field Champion in 2012/2013.
The current SKC Cross Country Year 12’s are a special group with so many passionate not only about their running but also the famous green, gold & blue colours, that no-one would be at all surprised so see quite a few of the current surnames representing SKAAC for many years to come.
Ned, all the best for the remaining APS Cross Country season. You are a fantastic member of our club and long may you continue to be.

Tooronga nears completion

May 4, 2017 by Peter McGarry Leave a Comment

A wonderful facility awaits us in early July (weather permitting) for the SKAAC family when Tooronga will be officially opened.
As can be seen in the photo taken 4/5/17, 80m of the main straight has been laid and the bend is becoming “blue” very quickly. The track will be IAAF certified and allow us to hold official sprint & field competitions.
It will be a secure facility with two magnificent pavilions, complimented with a long/triple pit, high jump fan and a shot put sector.
Up, up and away!!

Dino Imbriano inducted as SKAAC’s 20th Life Member

April 11, 2017 by Peter McGarry Leave a Comment

At last night’s AGM, Dino Imbriano was unanimously awarded Life Membership of SKAAC for his unbroken 15 season stint as Club Registrar/Treasurer. Also noted in the dossier accompanying his nomination were some pretty solid PB’s from Long Jump to 5,000m.

All at the club are extremely grateful to Dino for his tireless work on and off the track.

Please see below for the full document supporting Dino’s elevation to Life Member.

Background
Dino Imbriano has provided exemplary service to SKAAC since he joined the club for season 2002/2003 both on and more particularly off the track.
In a sport considered individualistic to many, it is the selfless acts of club members to take on large administrative portfolios such as Treasurer/Registrar that ensure a smooth season for everyone, that very often go un-noticed and even worse often not recognised.

Dino is the longest serving SKAAC Executive Committee Member, with a continuous length of service now into its 15th Season as Treasurer/Registrar. The contribution Dino has made to the smooth running of the club cannot be understated. With at least 20 new members joining SKAAC each season, conservative estimates would have Dino being responsible for well over 300 new members being introduced to the club.

Dino was awarded the Jack Baker trophy as SKAAC’s Best Clubman in 2003/2004, which was formal recognition for his outstanding contribution to SKAAC.

Athletic Performances
However don’t let the amazing work done off the track in the critical administrative post, cloud Dino’s performances on the track. From his introduction to athletics in the SKC House carnival in 1988, where he won the Year 8 trophy for his wins in the 800m, 1500m and 2nd place finishes in the 200m, 400m & Long Jump, Dino has been a mainstay of all Men’s teams for 19 seasons. More recently, Dino has been instrumental in the formation of the SKAAC Mens 40+ team acting as the major points scorer and Team Manager.

Season 2016/2017, saw Dino crowned as Mens’ 40+ Club Champion for his amazing point scoring feats during the season.

Dino represented SKC at the APS Sports in 1989 (800m – 2:10), 1990 (800m – 2:05.1 & 1500m 4:20.1) and again in 1991 (4x400m)
Following his SKC school career, Dino joined Collingwood Harriers in 1993/1994 for 2 years due to the convenience of training at the Collingwood track in Clifton Hill, whilst he lived in Thornbury.
Half of Dino’s PB’s were set in these two seasons at Collingwood.
• 200m – 25.6
• 400m – 56.0
• 800m – 2:01.
• Long Jump – 5:36m

In Dino’s second season at Collingwood he ran PB’s 3 weeks in a row leading into Christmas. Unfortunately he hurt his knee playing indoor soccer in early January and didn’t return to athletics until 2002/2003, the time when he re-joined SKAAC.

Season 2016-2017 is Dino’s 19th season in the famous gold, green & blue of SKAAC.

Dino’s remaining PB’s were set in season 2007/2008 in SKAAC colours.
• 1500m – 4:18.1
• 3000m – 9:27.7
• 5000m – 17:26.0
• Tan – 12:57
Dino has made the recent seasons a ‘family affair’ with his son Joel also joining the club and making a similar impression in the Under 14 team as Dino has done in the Mens teams.

The future
Dino is as energised as ever, despite being extremely disappointed to see the Mens 40+ team miss the finals in 2016/2017 by the barest of margins. Dino is extremely motivated to see the club succeed into the future, with the huge opportunities for SKAAC presented by the new athletics track being developed at Tooronga. In Dino’s opinion, this will finally give SKAAC a home base to build on the work Justin Rinaldi has done with his squad training at SKC since season 2015/2016.

Dino sees one of the challenges for SKAAC, to ensure growth of our female membership and ensure SKAAC continue to recruit “club level athletes” from the school. That is those athletes who just like to get out there and compete each week. Dino notes that whilst he may not be the most talented athlete, he just loves getting out there and doing his best for the club.
