Athletic Australia's round up of Australians at the Birmingham DL:

Vote (1) Scomps!

Vault-emort's exhoration from last year's Aussie thread has obviously worked with Dr Sophie Scamps (pronounced: scomps) winning the House of Representatives seat of Mackellar with a swing of more than 13.3% . Mackellar was one of the safest seats for the dominant party in Australia that had held the seat for an unbroken 73 years!

Link about her election for Australians only as it is too late for me to translate references for the rest of the world:

https://www.crikey.com.au/2022/05/21...kes-mackellar/

Dr Scamps was a 400/800 runner before academic demands distracted her after setting PBs of 52.67/2.02.1h at age 21. She also still has a quarter share of the AUS U-20 NR of 3:30.38 set in winning the 4x400 at the 1990 WJC in Plovdiv in 1990. AUS posters will recognise her teammates Renee Poetschka, Kylie Hanigan and Susan Andrews.

The only question now is will Vault-emort be experiencing MOGadon or MOGadishu after the election?

Joseph Deng will have his first overseas race in quite some time this weekend when he races the 800m in Oordegem, BEL. He'll be joined in that race by Sam Blake, while Liam Cashin is entered in the steeple.

Global championships aside, the most prestigious of all the RW meetings! As expected, the fields are crazy deep. It's usually live streamed.
Montag was 6th in Tokyo.

In Poznan tomorrow (Friday), Bendere Oboya is in a good 800 that includes Eliie Baker (GBR) & Angelika Sarna (POL). More details and streaming link via https://forum.athleticsweekly.com/fo...2729#post42729

NCAA Preliminaries for Friday 27 May (Saturdayish in AUS)

Australian men set to compete.


NCAA East Preliminary
Bloomington Indiana
*****************************

M1500 Quarter Finals
5 + 5 + 2 fastest

QF 1

Jesse HUNT North Carolina [JR] SB= 3:39.67 Ranked 36th. PB = 3:39.47

M3000SC Quarter Finals
3 + 3 + 3 + 2 fastest

QF 2 Ed TRIPPAS Princeton [SR] SB/PB=8:30.25 Ranked 3rd


NCAA West Preliminary
Fayetteville Arkansas
*****************************

M400 Quarter Finals
3 + 3 + 3 + 3fastest

QF 1 Tom WILLEMS Colorado St. [SO] SB/PB=45.97 from Heats. Previous

SB/PB =46.14 ranked him 59th but should now be in the low 30s somewhere.

M1500 Quarter Finals
5 + 5 + 2 fastest times

QF 1 Adam SPENCER Wisconsin [FR] SB/PB=3:37.40 Ranked 7th

QF 2 Jackson SHARP Wisconsin [SO] SB=3:42.68 Ranked 129th PB=3:40.84

M5000 Semi Finals
5 + 5 + 2 fastest times

SF 1 Ky ROBINSON Stanford [SO] SB/PB=13:23.61 Ranked 8th

Oli Raimond of Michigan was scratched from both 1500/5000 despite running 3:44.33/13:57.56 this year. Not sure if injury is the problem but I will note Wisconsin is flush with 5000 talent, sending five athletes for that event!

Olin Hacker 13:19.34 is in the same semifinal as Ky Robinson
Charlie Wheeler (GBR) 13:43.42
Evan Bishop 13:45.59
Rowen Ellenberg 13:46.37
Seth Hirsch 13:47.50

[El Toro]

A missing one from this side:

MSP Alexander Kolesnikoff HARVARD 18.78m (missed q by 7cms)

??? Not sure what that result relates to as he is in the East MSP next Wednesday.

He needs top 12 distance to advance to NCAA Championships and he's ranked 11th in East. However, the 15 guys over 19m have all set PBs this year, so anything could happen!

[edit to add: Kolesnikoff's PB seems to be his NCAA best (19.19) not lifetime best of 19.81 at Lakeside in 2021)
