OSWESTRY OLYMPIANS JUNIOR AWARDS SCHEME.

	The essence of the Junior Awards Scheme is to ensure that all Juniors have their effort and achievement recognised by the club at the Presentation Evening in the autumn. One of the aims of the club is to encourage athletes of all abilities to participate in, and enjoy the sport. With this aim in mind, the award scheme has been created, based on the old Five Star awards, using a points system to recognise achievement at all levels. All athletes are therefore awarded a certificate ranging from 1 star to 5 star, in the "3 event", pentathlon or decathlon categories, based on their known performances throughout the season. The "3 Event " Award - Events for this award must include one track and one field event plus one other. The Pentathlon Award - Comprises one track event, one throw, one jump and two others. The Decathlon Award - similar to pentathlon, but with seven other events. DECATHLON IS NOT APPLICABLE TO UNDER 11's Qualifying track events for Under 11's may include one recognised distance from each of the following categories: Short sprint - up to 100m. Long sprint - over 100m and up to 200m. Middle distance - over 200m and up to 800m. Track Distances over 800m are NOT APPLICABLE TO UNDER 11's. Outstanding Pentathlete In addition to the above awards we also present an Outstanding Pentathlete Certificate to the boy and girl who have achieved the highest pentathlon score in each age group, recognising the all round ability of these athletes. To gain this award the five events must include no more than two events from each category i.e., track, jumps and throws. Other Awards: The Lee Morris Under 11 trophy and the Simon Booth Under 13 trophy - These Shields will each be awarded to one athlete, boy or girl, who has regularly attended training, been a good all round club member and has a positive, co-operative and friendly attitude. Club Record - A boxed medal is presented to any athlete who equals or breaks a club record. An alternative may be presented to anyone breaking more than one record. English Schools Trophy - A trophy will be awarded to any athlete who has represented Shropshire at the English Schools Track and Field Championships or who has won a medal at the Welsh AA or Schools Track and Field Championships during the preceding season. National Trophy - A trophy will be awarded to any athlete who is selected to represent their country for the first time.
