Amelia reports: After a 90-minute delay to the schedule due to a kitchen fire at the Utilita Arena, we had no idea what the day was going to bring… but it definitely didn’t disappoint!! With only the 800m heat winner and one non-auto qualifier advancing to Sunday’s final, Tom’s heat, being the last one, was going to be QUICK! Tom ran his socks off. Finished a highly creditable 3rd place in his heat and took almost a second off his indoor 800m PB. His time of 1:50.64s was 10th fastest on the day (out of 26) and puts him back in the top spot!! (U20M National rankings). Also:
– U20M/SM Club Records, breaking his own 1:51.40
– 24th in SM national rankings
– Another year to go in U20M age group
A great experience for all, especially Tom and Coach Dezza. Hungry for more.
