Racewalking Selection Criteria

AGN Racewalking Commission Selection Policy 2018

This document sets out the basis on which the Athletics Gauteng North Racewalking Commission (AGNRC) intends to select its Team for
the South African 50 km Racewalking Championship and Interprovincial Competition (RC&IC) in 2018.

Aims

The aim of the AGNRC for the RC&IC is to nominate a quality team to represent the province. The policy aims to facilitate the following
outcomes:

• Selecting athletes that are realistic medal contenders and;
• Providing Championships experience to potential future Championship medallists

Standards

The AGNRC has set its own qualification standard for each event to be held at the RC&IC. It is important to note that based on the historical performances at the event only potential medal winners will be selected. Therefore the maximum number of participants that will be selected for a particular event is 3. Although cognisance will be given during the selection process to all judged events, where decisions need to be made between two athletes, recognition will go first to those having competed in the AGNRC championship events to be held on the 26 May 2018 (10 km) and 18 August 2018 (20km). Although the Commission will attempt to find all results which may have a bearing, it is important that athletes inform the commission of their best achievements by ensuring that the selector has the full results of events that they have participated in.

Further information

Once details of the 2018 RC&IC are finalised there will be further information and possible updates to the selection policy posted.
