Victorian Masters Championships, 11-12/2/2023
Doncaster athletes excelled at the Victorian Championships at Doncaster at the weekend. There were records aplenty, but mainly from Kim Peak, Campbell McLennan, Laura McLennan, and David Vaughan. Jim Poulter even managed to break the Australian record for the M80 triple jump! Campbell and David were dominant in the 800 metres, but David was pushed all the way to run a faster time than Campbell. Campbell was pleased to finally break 60 seconds for the first time in his new age group.
Paul Mierisch came close to his records, but had a tough time competing against athletes who’d made the finals at the last world titles.
Renee Reardon set her first record in the 60 metres, and Warren Hattwich, Jim Poulter and Colleen Kelly also set records.
A big shout out to Kim Peak, who competed all weekend, but still had time to perform CPR to a Glen Eira athlete who had a cardiac arrest at the end of his walk. The paramedics said “It could very well have saved Jim’s life”. Jim is now out of ICU and recovering.
A couple of videos were created of the Doncaster Masters athletes over the weekend:
