Queanbeyan Junior Gift

The Queanbeyan Junior Gift is a 100m handicap event where prize money may be given to the three best athletes in each division. All finalists will receive a medallion. Handicapping is based on qualifying times and is designed to allow younger athletes to be competitive with older athletes by allowing them to run a shorter distance.

ENTRIES CLOSE SATURDAY 5th NOVEMBER NO LATE ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED

• Qualifiers for the semi finals will be determined from positions in the heats run at Wright Park. The number of semi-finalists from each age group will be based on the proportion of heat competitors from the age group. For example, if U7 boys have 10% of the heat runners for the Junior Boys Gift, they will have 10% of the semi-finalists.

• The times that Queanbeyan Little Athletics provides the Gift handicapper will be the season best times for the athlete who qualify for the semi-finals, NOT the time they ran in the heats, unless the time in the heats is better than the season best time.

• Athletes must compete in the heats to be eligible for the semi-finals. Finalists will be determined from positions in the semi finals run at Town Park.

• The semi finals and final will be handicapped races, so the quicker athletes will start from behind the other runners.

•  If a nominating athlete does not have a time as they haven’t run the specific Gift
  distance(70m for Mini, 100m for all others) previously that season, then they will be deemed ineligible to compete. Athletes must have competed in those races prior to the heats.

• Only grass track times will be acceptable, not synthetic track times. Times from the AIS will not be acceptable. Season best times will be used from the QLAC database.
