Simon Olive
There are not many people in the Centre who can say they have pretty much done everything but Simon Olive is one of them. When he first arrived at the Centre with his daughter Annabel, he was happy to rake the pit as the girls did long jump. This quickly graduated into being an Age Group Manager for several years ensuring that the kids had a great experience each Saturday as well as learnt more about athletics. With Annabel being a talented athlete and competing in Region and State Championships events, Simon was always happy to help out in whatever way he could.
Showing his even greater commitment to the Centre, Simon and his business Anytime Fitness at Kew became the Centre's Major Sponsor for 3 years and his financial commitment helped the Centre spend more on better equipment and coaching for the kids.
Having done his apprenticeship as VP in 2017, Simon stepped into the President role in 2018 and even further expanded the list of things he did to setup, pack-up, line marker, starter, Region delegate, Region Chief Official to name just a few. And most importantly, led the campaign with the Federal, State and Local governments to get the upgrade to the long jump runways and pits.
The Kew Little Athletics Centre has been very privileged to have had Simon in our ranks. We are so very thankful for all the work he has done. Enjoy your retirement Simon!
