Laura McSHANE, who woke up this morning as the equal 15th fastest ever Tasmanian female over 200m, by lunchtime was ranked Number 1.Laura flew around the bend in perfect conditions at the Domain, to set a new Tasmanian Open Residential record of 23.53 (+1.5W), breaking the record of 23.69, held by Eastern Suburbs' Susan Andrews set in 1990 (although Susan held top ranking with 23.53 due to a records anomoly, which is no longer relevant).Congratulations Laura (and coach Wayne MASON). ...

We had most of our athletes out in the All Schools action today - here’s a summary of the competition so far. Nikolai COSTA ran a big PB in his 2000m Steeplechase to finish 4th - 6:18.49. Fantastic effort Nikolai. Jett FORD secured two of two PBs - how good is that for his nationals debut! He ran a strong 2:03.85 in the 800m and 54.73 in his 400m. Xavier LEAUMA begun his campaign with a throw of 50.33m in the Discus yesterday. He followed up with a 2nd place finish in the Hammer with a throw of 64.35m. We will see him back out there tomorrow for Shot Put. Palepa LEAUMA was unlucky in her Hammer yesterday - but we look forward to her return to the field for Discus tomorrow. Luke PALMER lost his shoe early in his 1500m, which impacted him for the remainder of his race. We continue to sit tight to see the form Luke has been training hard for. A big season ahead. Arielle CANNELL did what Arielle Cannell does. A championship record and a 1st place finish with a throw of 58.59m in the Hammer. Thank you to Athletics Tasmania and TDR for photos of all the action. ... See MoreSee Less
