[Vault-emort]

Lyvante Su'emai (UCLA) 61.56 dnq (17th) WHT West

Interesting that she went to the US seen mainly as a SP/DIS athlete of some promise, but is now closer to world class in the Hammer

PBs in Australia/now

SP 15.70/16.07
DI 52.44/55.43
HT 53.78/63.57

Still just 20, so hopefully lots more to come.

Lauren Ryan jumps from 24th to 13th on the alltime Aussie list

[typpo]

Good start for the Aussies at Gotzis - 100m Moloney 10.39 (1001 points, with a slight mistake early in his race), Dubler 10.87 (890), Golubovic 10.98 (865). 100m hurdles - Crase 13.46 (1056 points), close to PB, having hit hurdle six or seven and done well to keep her rhythm until the end.

[typpo]

All three Aussie boys out near their best in the LJ - Dubler 7.65 (972 points), Moloney 7.60 (960), Golubovic 7.12 (842, after fouls in the first two rounds). Crase could only manage 1.71 in her HJ, a little down on her best.

[Vault-emort]

Shot PBs for Moloney (15.20m) and Crase (12,22m).

Dubler (12.67m) & Golobovic (14.94m)

[gm]

Abbey Caldwell 1:58.92 in Manchester

[typpo]

Strong first day at Gotzis for all three Aussie men - Moloney 4497 (3rd, only 34 points behind Warner, 18 behind Lepage), Dubler 4247 (12th), Golubovic 4148 (17th). Crase finished day one of her heptathlon on 3530 (20th). 60cm shotput PB for Ash and a zippy 46.46 in the 400 to close out the day. His second day is generally weaker but hopefully there's more improvement to come in his other throws to keep him high in the placings.
