Both Men's and Women's High Jump competitions are expected to be major highlights of the 66th Cork City Sports.
The fields assembled this year, in both the mens and womens events, include some of the best athletes ever seen in Cork. The respective meet records of 2.30m in the mens event, set by Olympian Jamie Nieto, USA, in 2008, is expected to be under threat on July 18th. Similarly the womens record of 1.92m set by Amy Acuff, in 2007, could also fall.

One of the main contenders in the mens competition will be European Championships Bronze medallist Chris Baker, from the UK. He is also a World Indoor Championships Top 8 athlete. He is the number two British high jumper, behind Olympic Bronze medallist, Robbie Grabarz, and has a best of 2.36m indoors. He has already jumped 2.27m outdoors this year. This is over 7 and a half feet, or six inches from the ceiling in the average house!

Athletics Ireland is in the process of recruiting new Officials for its Championships. Anyone interested in becoming an Official should This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. at Athletics Ireland ASAP, phone 018869933 or 0879752242
There are many reasons why people are motivated to officiate in athletics, from giving something back to the sport they love, helping improve their skills, making new friends, to experiencing the sport from a different aspect.
Want to give something back to your sport?
Whatever your motivation towards becoming an official, is a great way to enjoy athletics from a different perspective. It’s also a great opportunity to get outdoors, meet new friends and get closer to the action!
Officials play a crucial role in making hundreds of events run smoothly throughout the length and breadth of Ireland, on a weekly basis. Athletics Ireland offers resources for current officials, along with those seeking certification as officials
From working at National Championships to officiating at juvenile club and schools meetings, officials play a vital role and are essential for maintaining the highest levels of integrity at all levels of competition.
Training and certification of officials is central to Atheltics Ireland's goal of ensuring fair and safe competitive opportunities for athletes. The training and certification processes promotes a serious and professional approach to officiating and demonstration of an official's commitment to excellence.
As an official gains experience, exposure to correct officiating practices, and additional training, Athletics Ireland recognizes this skill development through the progressive gradings of certification. At the highest levels, there is a progression route to IAAF certification and the possiblility of acting as an official in IAAF Championships.
Currently registered and accredited Athletics Ireland Officials who are requested to officiate at a Championship event run under the auspices of Athletics Ireland, are automatically covered under the Athletics Ireland Insurance Policy
Number of Clubs
In terms of the number of clubs, both Cork and Dublin stand apart from the other counties, with Dublin having 34 clubs, while Cork now has 53 clubs. These higher figures may be explained by Dublin's large population density, and Cork's sheer size, being the largest county.
Cork Athletics Registrations stand at 7,345 registered Cork Athletics-Athletics Ireland members. The 2016 end of June figure was 6,662, representing an increase of 10.27%.
All fifty three registered clubs have now registered athletes, while Cork Athletics newest club, Ballinacurra Villagers AC, are just about on the radar, with one member registered to date.
At the May meeting of Cork Athletics County Board, Registrar, John Copithorne, said that many coaches and officials are continuing to be actively involved in Athletics, but remain unregistered.
Unregistered athletes, coaches and/or officials are NOT covered by the Athletics Ireland insurance for any purpose whatsoever, leaving those athletes, officials, coaches and clubs in a precarious position.
Any club having difficulties registering their athletes should contact Cork Athletics Registrar, John Copithorne 0861713500
Clubs are reminded that 2017 registrations should be completed as soon as possible. There was a "grace period" of a few weeks, to allow sufficient time for re-registrations, whereby insurance cover continued, pending registration. This "grace period" does NOT extend beyond January 31st and does NOT include competition. Therefore any athlete remaining unregistered beyond January 31st is NOT covered by Athletics Irelands insurance, for ANY purpose, training or competition.
Clubs are urged to register all remaining unregistered personnel without further delay.
NB: The "grace period" covers official club, county, provincial and national training sessions. It does NOT cover competition. All athletes competing in Championship or representative events MUST be registered. Club Registrars are reminded that there is a new Registration System in operation.
Webmaster's Note: I have been 'Banging on' for ages about the Bandon Rugby Club case. The Irish Times reported on the case in April 1997. Twenty years later, the judgement is still as relevant, and stands out as a warning to the consequences of not registering members of an organisation. A further related Irish Times article advises clubs to ensure that members are registered.
Leevale AC has consolidated it's position at the head of the list, ahead of Bandon AC, with both club having over 600 registered members, and each over 200 registrations ahead of third placed Ballymore-Cobh AC, who approach the 400 mark. Midleton AC in fourth position, and Youghal AC in fifth, with the latter three clubs all now comprising over 300 registered members. A total of twelve clubs exceed the 200 registrations mark, while a further fifteen clubs have over 100 registered members.

Brandon Arrey, Blarney-Inniscarra AC
Brandon Arrey, Blarney-Inniscarra AC, is Cork's only representative on the twenty strong Irish team at the European U23 Championships taking place in Bydgoszcz, Poland, from today, Thursday 13th - Sunday 16th July 2017
Update:
Brandon Arrey ran in Heat 1 of the 400m this morning, in a time of 53 seconds flat, well outside his season's best of 47.35 seconds, set in Oordegem, Belgium, in May. Unfortunately Brandon appeared to be struggling from the outset, but it isn't known at this stage what the underlying cause was. He is also scheduled to run on the 4x400m team, so we hope he will be fully recovered by then.

Sydney Siame, the 19 year old Zambian sprinting sensation, is set to appear before the Cork City Sports crowd at CIT stadium on July 18th. Sydney Siame has been heralded as the 'New Usain Bolt' after setting one of the fastest times in the world this year 9.87secs (0.2 m/s)
It was a demonstration of intent from Siame when he clocked 9.87 secs, at an all comers meeting in Lusak,a which has garnered him the tag as the NEW Usain Bolt
Sydney further underlined the immense potential he has displayed since winning the Youth Olympics GOLD, in Nanjing, China, three years ago. He has now set a new Zambian National Record (NR), eclipsing his previous Personal Best of 10.18s. In so doing, Siame has qualified for the World Championships in London next month. This will be his second appearance at the biennial event, having made his debut in Beijing two years ago, aged 17.
Also added to the star-studded program are Ramon Gittens, Barbados, and Sean McLean, USA, who will go head to head in the 100M at the 66th Cork City Sports.
Two of the fastest sprinters in the world, both have early season times of 10.1secs for 100m, and will race against each other in the CIT stadium on July 18th.
We could see the first sub 10 second 100m at the Cork City Sports in its 66 year history.

Cork City Sports will return to live television next month, when the legendary Cork City Sports International Athletics meet is broadcast live on TG4, commencing a multi-year deal to cover the event.
This year's event, the 66th running, on July 18th, will mark the first time in twelve years that the Cork City Sports will have been aired on live television.
It will also be TG4’s first ever live athletics TV broadcast, having previously featured highlights of the All-Ireland Schools Track and Field Championships from 2004 to 2010. TG4’s athletics coverage resumed earlier this year, with highlights of the AIT Indoor Grand Prix from Athlone.
European Championship bronze-medallist and World Championship qualifier Ciara Mageean will compete in the 800 metres against a strong International field from the United States, Jamaica, Canada, Britain, New Zealand and Trinidad and Tobago.
Also among the confirmed Irish names competing are Cork’s own National Champion Phil Healy, whose international debut came in the European indoors in Belgrade last March; John Travers, who finished seventh in the 1500m at the 2015 European Indoors in Prague; European Junior silver medallist Sarah Lavin; plus Irish international athletes Timmy Crowe, long-jumper Adam McMullen and Craig Lynch.
Healy, Lavin, McMullen and Travers are all in the strong Irish squad named for the European Athletics Team Championships in Vaasa, Finland, in the run-up to the Cork City Sports.
Further Irish entrants will be announced closer to the meeting.
Top names competing from abroad are Olympic 400m hurdles bronze-medallist and twice World Championship silver-medallist Javier Culson of Puerto Rico, Pan-Am 100m champion D’Angelo Cherry of the United States, Ghanaian athletes Flings Owusu-Acheampong and Gemma Acheampong – with eight African Championship medals between them - while double Olympic finalist Collis Bermingham accompanies fellow Australian athletes Patrick Tiernan, Jordy Williamsz and reigning 5000m champion Sam McEntee.
Top British sprinter Dina Asher-Smith is also slated to compete.
Among the American entrants are 2015 Cork City Sports mile winner Will Geoghegan and IAAF World Relays champion Kyle Merber.
Germany’s European Championship fourth-placer Katrin Klaas competes in the hammer, with the high jump featuring Jamaican Olympian Jamal Wilson.
Many illustrous and renowned 'names' of Cork athletics will be present on the night including world champions Sonia O’Sullivan, Marcus O’Sullivan and Derval O’Rourke.
Cork City Sports chairman Tony O’Connell said: “This is a big boost for the Cork City Sports in its 66th year. We feel that live television coverage both home and abroad is vital to bring our great meeting to the next level.”
Meet director Joe Hartnett stated: “Going back to the days of Steve Ovett and Yuri Sedykh in the 80s, and Sonia O’Sullivan in the 90s and 00s, the Cork City Sports has always been a highlight of the Cork sporting summer and the Irish athletics summer. Now we hope to find a whole new audience. By becoming higher-profile, we hope to attract many more quality names to Cork City.”
Donal Murnane, Cork City Sports PRO commented: “We are thrilled to be going live on TG4. The channel’s sports coverage is very highly-regarded and we look forward to the Cork City Sports becoming a staple of their live output.”
TG4 head of sport Rónán Ó Coisdealbha said: “TG4 are delighted to commit to this coverage of the Cork City Sports. As a supporter of all sports we believe it is paramount for headline athletics event to be available free-to-air. Athletics has provided some major good news stories for Irish sport down through the years, and in recent years via the medal exploits of Thomas Barr, Ciara Mageean, Mark English, Fionnuala McCormack and Rob Heffernan, and we hope to see more of them in future on TG4.”
TG4’s broadcast will run from 7:20pm to 9pm on Tuesday, July 18th, with commentary from Con Murphy and Dick Hooper, with Mark Rodden reporting.
Coverage will also be available online worldwide via the TG4 Player.
