Round 9 – 05/02/2022

With Doncaster unable to make the playoffs, the pressure was off, but still DAC athletes turned up to compete and there were a number of records. The highlight of the day was another Australian record to evergreen Jim Poulter in the Pole Vault, though it was disallowed because the bar wasn’t measured. What a champion!

Laura, Paul and Kim all scored over 1000 points, making a major contribution to Doncaster’s success this week. Darryl wasn’t far behind with 999.

There were quite a few records set. Allison Parrott came within 0.01 of Kim Peak’s record in the 100 metres and then Kim of them proceeded to smash the 400 metres record. Then both Wendy Smith and Laura McLennan both came close to Wendy’s 200 metres record, with Wendy getting the upper hand. Darryl Kilmartin had a massive PB in the Pole Vault for another record.

Graham Ford didn’t enjoy his first run over the 300 metres hurdles. He was half-way through the race before he heard the second gun. Someone had walked between the starter and the time-keepers! It was hard going back to run the whole race again. He and Darryl ran in the same heat of the 100 metres later and scored the same points, though Darryl ended up scoring more points for his other events.
