Oxfordshire

Hi All
I am one of the team managers referred to in Barrie's note below.

The closing date for team entries is Friday 24th November. Teams will comprise up to 8 athletes with 4 to score.

The races are for:- Under 13 Girls; Under 15 Girls; Under 17 Women; Under 20 Women; Senior Women; Under 13 Boys; Under 15 Boys; Under 17 Men; Under 20 Men and Under 23 Men.

Team selection will be based primarily on performances prior to the competition in the Oxford Mail and Chiltern Cross Country leagues though performance in other suitable competitions may also be taken into consideration. County qualification is based on birth or 9 months continuous residence in Oxfordshire.

So that we can be alert to all runners in the county who are interested and available to take part, could I ask you to pass this information to coaches in your club of potential runners. Please email me with names of runners who are available for selection.

An inspirational new scheme was launched today aimed at raising athletics standards in the UK all the way from clubs to Olympic Games.
It is a statistical step-ladder devised to inspire athletes – Seniors, Under 20s, Under 17s and Under 15s – to move through club, regional and national levels to international standards.
In the months since it was conceived, the concept of Power of 10 has been embraced by the by the vast majority of the organisations tasked with improving the standards of athletics in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. And David Moorcroft, the Chief Executive of UK Athletics, was joined at the official launch in London this afternoon by Sebastian Coe, the Chairman of the London 2012 Organising Committee.
Power of 10 is based on standards considered attainable this season by the 10th-best athlete in the UK in every Olympic track and field event in all four age groups.
