Newport Harriers |
Newport Harriers are involved in promoting multi eventing for athletes. We believe that young athletes in particular should try as many events as they can in competitions in their own age groups.
To support this we operate the AAA 5 Star Award Scheme for the Younger age groups. Throughout the year the athlete's performances are recorded by their coaches and at the end of the season their best results are scored against the AAA 5 Star Scoring Tables and awards are made later in the year.
The club also run a multi-event based club championship each year. This encourages athletes of all age groups to take part in a fun event over two weeks on our normal training nights, where competitors take part in as many events as they want. To complete the Club Championship event they must do five events, which must consist of at least one track, one throw and one jump, these are then scored using the 5 star tables.
The ultimate test of an athlete's ability over 10 events. Any athletes who really excel at multi eventing can go on to become a fully fledged Decathlete/Heptathlete.
If you want to see how well you would do, I've produced an age graded decathlon scoring calculator. It'll only accepts performances for the Decathlon at the moment, but it will score it for all Master's age groups as well, taking into account the age gradings as of 1-Jan-2007. |
I have located another Decathlon/Heptathlon Scoring calculator if you want to look at other multi event scorings.
