Australian National Championships Brisbane

Australian National Championships were held in the last weekend in Feb in Brisbane I had a very successful trip winning 4 gold from 100mt, 200mt, 400mt and 800mt. the times were very promising as I had started base training gain after the Sydney trip. Now its down to some very heavy training till the end of April when I go to Europe for some track meets.

National Series Meet Sydney

Sydney Telstra A series 1500mt, I was involved in a crash 100mt into the race which 3 others were also involved. I did not finish but I managed to stay up on all 3 wheels and only have a scratch on the wheels.

Victorian State Championships

Feb Victorian State Championships for the first time we had separate races for men and women, I manage to win the 400mt and 1500mt, while finishing second in the 100mt, but the weather was poor with cold rain for the weekend so no fast times were recorded.

Premier League

Premier League on the 31st Jan saw a group of Victorian athletes hit the track along side athletes from Sweden and Canada who stayed at my place for a few days, the competition was fast with some great results recorded.

Summer Down Under 08

Summer Down Under was a great series for me, unfortunately, the weather was not great in Canberra but I managed to get 1 day of good racing in on the track where I broke the 200mt national record for the first time, and narrowly missed breaking the world record in the 800mt, which was broken by Pierre by .03. I finished the series with the OZ day 10km finishing in 10th Place and 8th Place overall for the series on points.
