Metric miler Linden Hall used her strength to dominate the field in the women’s 1000m, setting a new Australian record of 2:35.90. Her performance bettered Brittany McGowan (now Kaan)’s 2:37.80 mark set in 2018.

15-year-old Claudia Hollingsworth chased Hall home, defeating more experienced rivals including Australian 800m record holder Catriona Bisset (3rd, 2:38.42) and Keely Small (4th, 2:38.46). Her performance bettered Kaan’s previous mark, but more impressively was the fastest time ever recorded globally by an U18 athlete.

Stewart McSweyn went chasing after Craig Mottram’s 12:55 national 5000m record, but tired in the final two kilometres to finish just outside his personal best with a run of 13:05.87. The performance was another Olympic qualifier for Australia’s top distance runner. In the women’s race Isobel Batt-Doyle finished just short of the qualifying mark with a 15:11.07.

It seems that every time Nina Kennedy takes to the pole vault runway that she sets another Olympic qualifier… such it was again in Perth on Friday with a 4.70m clearance.

Sprinters shone at the NSW Championships, with Rohan Browning, Bendere Oboya, Monique Quirk, Nicholas Andrews and Nicholas Hough all impressive.

Browning clocked the fastest time this domestic season at 10.20 seconds, setting a new Australian best on record for 100 yards en route with a 9.41 run. Both marks eclipsed Jack Hale’s performances (10.21 seconds in Canberra last week, and 9.43 seconds in Geelong in December, respectively). The 23-year-old strung together 10.31, 10.30 and 10.20 runs across the heats, semi and final.

Oboya clocked her third fastest career time, taking out the 400m in convincing fashion in 51.61 seconds.

19-year-old Quirk took out the sprint double in personal bests of 11.50 seconds and 23.20 seconds.

Andrews had an impressive start in the men’s 110m hurdles and won a close tussle with Nicholas Hough by one-hundredth-of-a-second in a wind-assisted 13.45 seconds (+2.6 m/s).
