To qualify for a record, the athlete must be participating in their appropriate age group and gender for that event (as per LANSW rules). Different recognition criteria apply depending upon where the record is to be attempted. Please read further down for records set at Athletics NSW and Athletics Australia Events.
1. Macquarie Hunter Carnivals
(i) Electronic Timed Track Events
Providing the electronic gates are being used by a trained operator and the start and finishing times are controlled by the electronic gate system and the operator is not the Athlete’s relation or coach, the results from the timing gates may be used to record a new club record. At least 1 club executive must be arranged to witness the whole event from start to finish.
If you are considering attempting a Club Record, it is advisable that you notify the Timing Gate Operator in advance to ensure that the electronic timing system will be used and that the event can be verified by a club executive.
After the Record has been broken, an Application for Club Record must be filled out and signed off by all witnesses after the result is recorded and the form MUST be submitted to the Rank & Recording officer for confirmation.
