Summary: <p>So much track action across Australia which Sean and Tim dissect in their usual manner</p> <p>Locally we had the High Velocity Club and Victorian Milers Club meets which presented our local athletes with a perfect opportunity to tune up for the National Championships.</p> <p>Mia Gross scored a 100/200 double at HVC with Matthew Rizzo having a close win over Cameron De Bruin in the Men’s 100m. Running in heat 3 Cameron Searle, ran 21.83 for the fastest time 200m time and Liam Procaccino took out a very competitive Men’s 400m</p> <p>Jess Gulli-Nance continued her march towards Nationals with an impressive run of 54.08 in the Women’s 400m, while over the hurdles Lateisha Willis and Marli Wilkinson took victory in the 100m and 400m events respectively.</p> <p>In the Men’s hurdles Luke Major and Conor Fry once again went head to head in the 400m with Major taking the win with a 52.21 and State Champion Ben Khongbut ran 14.63 for the 110m hurdles.</p> <p>In the field Celeste Mucci took out the Long Jump and Ellen Pettit recorded 13.06m in the Triple Jump to continue her winning ways. A good PB of 15.74m gave Ayo Ore the win in the Triple Jump, while in the other pit it was Nathan Deslandes winning the Long Jump with a best of 7.24m.</p> <p>The highlight of the Milers Club was Catriona Bissett outlasting Georgia Griffith over the 800m distance and score a huge PB and World Uni Games qualifier with a time of 2:01.27. Griffith wasn’t far behind in 2:01.90, with Morgan Mitchell third in 2:04.82. With PB’s also to Connor Gist, Gigi Maccagnini, Ellie Sanford and Molly Blakey, this was a memorable VMC race. In the Men’s 800m it was Matthew Scott once again taking the victory, running 1:48.80 to Grant Muir’s 1:49.94.</p> <p>The metric mile saw wins to James Hansen and Sarah Billings, while massive breakthroughs came from Matthew Hussey and Liam Cashin with the Western Athletics pair running 3:45.41 and 3:45.93 respectively.</p> <p>Sean goes through the highlights from the Perth and Brisbane meets and gives a great preview of the upcoming World Cross Country Championship in Aarhus, Denmark this weekend.</p> <p>And to settle so much confusion re selection for World Championships or Olympics, Sean provides sage advice on what information athletes and coaches need to source, and not get hung up on angry Social Media posts!</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/athsvic">https://www.facebook.com/athsvic</a><br> <a href="https://twitter.com/athsvic">https://twitter.com/athsvic</a><br> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/athleticsvictoria/">https://www.instagram.com/athleticsvictoria/</a></p>
