Another major change for 2010-11 is that Ron Batt has changed roles from TIS NTC Rowing Coach to a new Rowing Australia position of Rowing High Performance Development Coordinator for Tasmania. In this new role Ron with be responsible for coordinating the Rowing Australia National Talent Identification (NTID) Program and the Rowing Australia National Elite Development Program (NEDP) within Tasmania. Outstanding program performances for 2010-11: • Sam Beltz, Blair Tunevitsch, Anthony Edwards and joint WAIS/TIS scholarship holder Todd Skipworth won a silver medal in the lightweight four at the 2010 world rowing championship • Ali Foot, Blair Tunevitsch and Nick Baker won a silver medal in the lightweight eight at the 2010 world rowing championships • Blair Tunevitsch became the first Australian lightweight rower to win two medals at one world championship. • Kerry Hore won a silver medal in the woman’s double scull and got fourth place in the woman’s quad at the 2010 world rowing championships • Annabel Gibson finished fourth in the women’s lightweight quad at the U23 world rowing championships in Belarus.

Track and Field The 2010-11 program year saw five athletes included as full scholarship holders in the Track and Field Program at 1 July 2010 - Tristan Thomas (AIS) - 400m hurdles, Hamish Peacock - javelin, Huw Peacock - hammer throw, Danni McConnell - hammer throw and Kaitlin Morgan - high jump, triple jump. Late in the year, 17 year-old Hobart 400m athlete Max Waldron was added to the program. 2010-11 was a transitional year for the program which saw it move closer to alignment with the National High Performance Program of Athletics Australia. Our most successful athlete of recent years, Donna MacFarlane, retired from international competition after a career which saw her medal at Commonwealth Games and set an Australian record in the steeplechase which will be very hard to surpass. Canberra-based Tristan Thomas battled a serious foot injury for most of the year which prevented him from competing in the domestic season. He was also not able to compete at the Commonwealth Games in India because of this. Tristan now appears to have overcome this problem and recent performances are encouraging for this international season and leading into the Olympic year. Former scholarship holder Daniel Coleman has moved back to Tasmania and we hope that he will regain the form which saw him as Australia’s number one junior race walker. Another previous scholarship holder Ryan Foster, who is living in the USA, is also competing very well and pressing for selection in upcoming teams. Hamish Peacock is now over the elbow injuries which hampered his progress and had some very encouraging performances during the domestic season. Hamish’s TIS support will now be focussed on linking him with national coaches to help take him to the next level. He finished the year in the top three ranked javelin throwers in Australia. Huw Peacock was still battling some problems associated with his knee surgery but still made progress with several personal best performances, especially throwing the senior weight hammer. Danni McConnell’s highlight was her national age record in the women’s hammer throw, this time at U18 level. She now holds the national records at both U16 and U18, and her excellent domestic season saw her selected in the 2011 world youth championships to be held in July in France. Danni has been included at Tier 2 level in the Athletics Australia’s target Talent Program which groups the sports most talented junior athletes to receive specific assistance. Kaitlin Morgan joined Danni in France following her excellent domestic performances where she attained the world number one ranking in high jump for her age group. In doing so she became the number one ranked high jumper for all ages in Australia. Max Waldron qualified for the world youth team also but was not available for selection because of study commitments. He was, however, selected in the Commonwealth 35
