Zone Carnival President s Message - David Sunderland The 2016 North Metropolitan Zone Carnival was held on the 10th-11th December. In total 230 athletes and 4 relay teams represented Ryde Athletics. Over the weekend I witnessed many fantastic achievements by many talented Ryde athletes. I would like to congratulate all Ryde Athletes that competed at Zone. Personally, I had an enjoyable two days in my role as team manager. The fantastic results by Ryde saw 140 athletes in the U8-U17 age groups qualify for the Regional Carnival to be held at The Sydney Academy of Sport, Narrabeen on the 11th-12th February. Congratulations and well done to all Ryde athletes. The results for all Zone Events and results per Ryde Athlete are available by clicking on the hyperlink or by visiting the Ryde Athletics website. Regional qualifiers are now available and links are provided on the Ryde Athletics website home page - News Section. For further information in regard to the Regional Carnival please visit the Ryde Athletics Regional page or the LANSW Regional Championship page. Any enquiries may be directed to your age manager or The Championships Officer. Congratulations to all of the U7 athletes who competed at their very first Zone Carnival. It was fantastic to observe so many U7 s all having a go and competing to the very best of their ability. Great sportsmanship was also displayed amongst these youngsters. Overall, the U7 age group had some fantastic results with many shining stars found in this age group. As U7 s do not progress to Region, 1st, 2nd and 3rd placings were awarded medals. Overall, the Ryde U7 s won 5 GOLD medals, 3 SILVER medals and 5 BRONZE medals. A fantastic effort by the U7 s. The following U7 athletes received medals: Chloe McGregor GOLD (100m,200m,500m) and SILVER (70m) Luke Moscos - GOLD (70m, 200m) and BRONZE (Discus) Emilia Webb SILVER (Shot Put) Zakar Balian SILVER (Shot Put) Mataya Jabre BRONZE (500m) Kiara Murphy BRONZE (Shot Put) Sophia Read BRONZE (Discus) Jason Chong BRONZE (100m) Two Zone records were broken on the weekend by two very talented Ryde throwers - Natasha Fairhall and Benjamin Stevens. Natasha broke the U11Girls Javelin Zone Record with a throw of 20.95m and Benjamin Stevens broke the U12Boys Discus Zone Record with a throw of 38.43m. An awesome result! The Ryde Athletics Community is most proud of your awesome achievements. To finish off the Zone Carnival, the relay teams from Ryde were most impressive, with some great results. It was great to see many of the athletes who attend my Sprint Coaching representing Ryde in the relay teams. Three out of the four teams entered achieved a second placing. Great job guys and a great team effort! Some exciting relay races to watch with some very close finishes between first and second placings. I am currently looking forward to the Regional Carnival in February where I am sure I will continue to witness many more fantastic achievements by Ryde Athletes. Congratulations to all Regional qualifiers. I would like to wish you all the very best of luck at the Regional Championships. At the moment I am pleased to announce that Stage 2 Ryde Athletics Upgrades are about to take place with the installation of a new sound system and speakers at Dunbar Park. These installations will benefit all members and athletes with much clearer announcements on a Saturday morning. Finally, after the Christmas Break Northern Suburbs athletes will begin competing at Ryde Athletics on a Saturday morning. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all North s athletes. The Ryde Athletics Community hopes that all North s athletes have an enjoyable time whilst competing at Ryde. May all athletes competing at Ryde and their families enjoy the remainder of the season. I look forward to seeing you all this Saturday. David Sunderland - Ryde Little Athletics Club President

ABC Janet King Production -Take 2 Recruitment started of slowly for takers for the filming of the ABC Janet King Production. As it was a busy time of year and many athletes could not return I had the challenging task of recruiting interested athletes. A demanding experience with many late nights but in the end Ryde Athletes showed their true Ryde Spirit and supported the club with their attendance. I even got into trouble for providing excess athletes! Thank you to all the athletes and parents that supported the filming and made the day such a success. Feedback that I received was that attendees had a most enjoyable experience. Leaving attendees on the day left both tired and happy and were extremely grateful for the extra s filming experience. The athletes all participated doing what they do best - athletics. All athletes were very keen to participate in whatever role they were asked to do. It was very enjoyable to watch all the athletes running, jumping and having a great time. All parents and Officials participated keenly in their acting roles as well. It was truly great to see. The breakfast and lunch provided by the ABC was a fantastic feast. Everybody went away feeling full and pleased with the great selection of food that was on offer. A pleasant treat that was enjoyed by all. Both the casting agency and the ABC crew all commented about the fantastic enthusiasm displayed by the Ryde participants. They were most impressed with the exemplary behaviour of all Ryde athletes and teenage officials. Thank you to everyone who assisted me with recruiting athletes and thank you to everyone for your cooperation and help with making the ABC Janet King Filming production a success. Look out for our talented Ryde extras when the TV series is broadcasted! Sandra Prizmic (Juniors Publicity) A nice surprise thank you delivery from the casting agency.
