Tasmanian Club Championships - Review
18 Feb 2009
Medals were shared throughout the state, following the running of the Tasmanian Club Championships at North West’s Penguin Athletics Centre on Saturday.
Eastern Suburbs men and OVA women won the open titles, with North Launceston winning the under 17 mixed division.
Undoubtedly, the performance of the day was Northern Suburb’s Grant Page setting a new Tasmanian 3000m record. The record was previously set in 1986, but Russell Foley, and Page’s time of 8:10.32 also has him as the third fastest Australian this year over the distance.
Page was pushed through the halfway mark by 18 year old Josh Harris, as the pair went through 1500m in 4:07, before Page began to build a gap. A final circuit of 62 seconds was enough to give him the record and have him sitting as the third fastest Australian this year over the seven and a half lap distance. Harris held on for second in the championships, with Damon Court from Northern Suburbs winning the bronze medal.
Mel Daniels made it a Northern Suburbs double, clocking a new personal best of 9:47.66, ahead of Angela Grimmond from Eastern Suburbs and Camilla Whishaw of North Launceston.
The day brought out another national open qualifier, with 16 year old Huw Peacock throwing the heaviest senior hammer weight, 54.63m, enough to gain him the necessary qualifying standard for next month’s Australian Championships in Brisbane.
Kaitlin Morgan continued her stunning season debut, to set a new personal best of 1.70m. The bar was then raised to 1.77m, to attempt a new state record. Though today wasn’t the day to break it, the leaps the 14 year old has made this season has been tremendous and augers well for an exciting career.
Perhaps the most exciting race of the day was the men’s medley relay. Part way through the final 800m leg, OVA led a pack of three, with Eastern Suburbs and North Launceston closely in tow. Dominic Anastasio then took off to increase his lead and take victory, but the excitement was between second and third for the valuable points overall. Aaron Humphrey of Eastern Suburbs made an impressive move with 300m remaining, however Torin Philpott was able to claw him back in the final 50m for one of the races of the day.
Full results from today follow, with final club points at the bottom.
