Laura Verlinden age 15 late this year won U16 100m (12.52/12.62)
and came second in 200m 25.6? . Recording PBs in both events.
Preya Carey ran in the Open Invitational 100m and 200m placing
2nd in both. 12.27/24.88 both into headwinds
Tina Sherratt placed 4th in the U16 800 in a PB 2:18 and won Bronze
in the U16 1500 in 4:47 a PB.
Preya at Campbelltown A-series
Preya placed 2nd in the
100m in a great PB of 11.87 in wind legal conditions. Later in
the program she ran the 300m against Jana Pittman and placed 3rd
in 38.87s
KateM and Debbie paced the first 1000m of the 1500m event.
Canberra A-series
Preya placed 2nd in her heat of the Open 100m and then placed
9th in the final.
Debbie placed 3rd in 2:03.14 an awesome 3.38s PB
David won the U18 800 in 1:56.0 after a sub54s first lap
Jess ran just over 2:14 after leading for 650m placing 4th
Debbie placed 3rd in the Melbourne &
Sydney A-series meets and then won Bronze in the Australian Open
Championships.
Preya ran in Melbourne A-series,
Sydney A-series and at National Opens coming very close
to making the National Open 4 x 100m team for the World Champs.
She was clearly stronger than two of the selected team members
up to 80m but could not hold them off in the closing stages of
the races. Next year should be different as her training will
be more geared toward 100m rather than Long Jump.
Kate McMaster was effected by a lingering
stomach virus at exactly the wrong time and performed below her
potential during the major races.
Jay Stephens won a Silver Medal in the
U20 800m at Nationals.
Preya
also had a story in the Western Sydney Fairfax papers on the 25th
