15.01.2022 2020 NQ Games ANNOUNCEMENT 18th March 2020 We regret to advise that the 2020 Townsville NQ Games has been cancelled due to the updated government advice on gatherings and social distancing. Non-essential gatherings of more than 100 people inside and more than 500 people outside have been banned. Further measures on indoor gatherings of less than 100 people are being worked through by the states and territories. ... Given the nature of the NQ Games and after consultation with experts and stakeholders the difficult decision was made not to proceed. This decision was based on advice on the AHPPC*, endorsed by Commonwealth, State and Territory governments and local authority advice. Community health and wellbeing is our priority and minimizing the spread of COVID-19 throughout our communities is first and foremost. We are working with the relevant organizations and authorities to minimize the impact of the cancellation. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Additional information will be provided as it comes to hand. The situation is changing rapidly. Stay up to date with the latest information about the spread of COVID-19 and the steps being taken to slow the spread. For information on COVID-19, please go to the federal Health Departments website. *The Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) coordinates this and makes the key decisions.

14.01.2022 Oceania Masters Athletics Norfolk Island 2021 - : 1 2020 Having considered the impact of the Covid19 pandemic and the contin...uing uncertainty in relation to international travel restrictions, the Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the 2021 Oceania Masters Athletics Championships regret to advise that the Championships have been postponed from January 2021 until the week of the 10th to 14th January 2022. The Chair of the LOC and member of the Oceania Masters Athletics Council, Tim Rogers, advised that the LOC had left the decision on postponement as late as it could in the hope that there would be greater certainty around travel and the ability for as many Member Federations from across the Oceania region to participate as possible. The LOC is grateful for the support from all local suppliers and stakeholders and looks forward to working closely with them over the next 18 months to ensure the Championships are a success. Details of the new dates and further information will be updated on the Athletics Norfolk Island website: athleticsnorfolkisland.com

The new na...me North Queensland Championships or NQ Championships builds upon the organisations strategic vision to represent a modern, more creative, and appealing brand for our sport.

President, Yvonne Mullins has been there from day 1 and for her the new logo is a bringing together of our history, It has been a long journey for Athletics North Queensland from the 1990s when we first began and we are proud of the history that makes ANQ. Now is the time for us to look back at how our Championships have evolved over the years. The new logo acknowledges the continuing success of our Association and looks forward to our bright future. Each year, to recognise the proud history of these championships, we will be acknowledging North Queenslanders that competed at this event.

02.01.2022 EVENT FEATURE Memorial 100yard Sprint When chunky balding Queenslander Hec Hogan almost won the 100 metres track sprint gold medal at the 1956... Olympic Games it seemed that his days of glory were about to commence. Hogan, the first Australian since John Treloar (Helsinki 1952) to reach the 100 metres final and the first Australian to win a medal in the short sprint, had proven his string of Australians titles and records were not flukes. Tragically, only 4 years later, he was dead from leukaemia, the effects of which had actually begun to show at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. Hogan who had earned the nickname of hustling Hec because of his blistering starts and powerful style, first won the Australian 100 yards in 1952, the first of seven Championships wins over this distance. That success earned him selection in the team for the 1954 Vancouver Empire Games. Before the games he won the 100 yards and 220 yards championships, added the national Long Jump title and ran the last leg in Queensland 4 x 110 yard relay team, which won the Australian Titles. Unfortunately, Hogan pulled a leg muscle while training in the United States before the games and at Vancouver struggled to 3rd in the 100 yards and 5th in the 220 yards, and helped Australia to bronze in the 4 x 110 yard relay. In 1954 Hogan equalled both the World 100 yards record of 9.3 sec and the World 100 metres record of 10.2 giving him confidence going into the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. He almost stole the show in the 100 metres final, bursting from the blocks to lead Americans Bob Morrow and Thane Baker through 50 metres, only to surrender the lead to Morrow with 15 metres to run, and then be pipped by Baker for 2nd place as they lunged for the tape...
