Does participating in the PokeAthlon in Soul Silver unlock anything you can't continue the game without?

Like, an item you’ll need (or one that’s just really useful) that you can get from the PokeAthlon? Thanks :)

It does not unlock anything. It is just a way to strengthen your Pokemon.These are items you can get at the pokeathlon.

During the events, you’ll be awarded Athlete Points. You can exchange these at the Athlete Shop or the vending machine for the following prizes. Note the vending machine also takes money, so you can save your points for something else. The prizes at the Athlete Shop change each day, and a second page of items will be unlocked if you have the National Dex.
