Island Games Qualification Standards 2009 Island Games Selection Process 2009 Island Games Application Form 2009 **Latest Road and X-Country fixture list for Oct 08-May 09 - here** ****Important Message from the Road & Cross Country Committee**** As from today 21.09.08 it has been decided that it will not be permitted to run whilst wearing any kind of audio equipment when competing in any Jersey Spartan AC event. This includes the Half Marathon, Spring and Autumn 10k's and all club road and cross country races. This is mainly on Health and Safety grounds as we believe that it makes things more dangerous for the user as cars, bikes etc. can't be heard. Also, they could be used for pacing/motivation/alleviating boredom and it's the runner's job to do those things. 'UK Athletics have confirmed that they support us in this decision' 'Please note that anyone not adhering to this rule will be disqualified and their result will not be recorded.'

Shot putter Stevenson, a multi-national age group championship winner, represented Team GB in the World Youth Championships in Poland this summer. Thursday October 16, 2008 20:15: There was further disappointment last night on the athletics field for Zane Duquemin, who had been thought by many as the team’s best medal hope in the discus. Duquemin injured himself in the first round and could throw no further than 46.29m – almost five metres away from his PB – despite reaching the final eight. There was consolation for the Sanne Group-supported team in the performance of Jenna Murphy, who competed exceptionally well in the high jump to equal her PB of 1.65m, beating a number of highly rated athletes to finish in seventh place.
Wednesday October 15, 2008 21:54: Commonwealth Youth Games update: 400m runner Gemma Dawkins, who ran a great semi-final yesterday but was unfortunate to have been edged out for a final place.

Tuesday October 14, 2008 16:13: The Commonwealth Youth games are under way in Pune.

Friday September 12, 2008 21:07: Thérin shelves field events for bobsleigh TRACK and field athlete-turned-British bobsleigh team member Lauren Thérin is giving up training for javelin and discus – for which she won Island Games gold medals – for good. Thérin’s heavy bobsleigh schedule, which demands months of training and travelling, means she has had to make a tough decision between her two specialist sports. The former Grainville student started out on the field when she was 11 and went on to win bronze medals in javelin and discus for Jersey at the Commonwealth Youth Games in Australia in 2004 and three gold medals at last year’s Island Games in Rhodes. She trialled for the bob-skeleton team three years ago, and though she failed to make the squad, Thérin was later invited to a training camp in Austria and subsequently selected to be part of the British team.

Jersey featured twice on the podium in the 800m, with Felicity Johnson-Deeley in second and Nicola Milner third while Lisa Luce won a bronze medal in the 400m hurdles.'

Gemma Dawkins won gold in the 400m, Zane Duquemin, silver in the shot and Felicity Johnson-Deeley, silver in the 1500m. Kathryn Rothwell won silver in the discus and Jersey also finished fourth three times with Jenna Murphy in the high jump, Emma Wilton in the discus and also in the 4 x 100m girls’ relay.'
