Henry Frayne
World Title to Pearson, Olympic Qualifier to Trengove and Australian Junior Record for Stein
There have certainly been some great highlights from our Australian athletes both in Australia and overseas. There were some magical moments over in Istanbul, Turkey where Sally Pearson was simply irresistible in winning the 60m hurdles, while Henry Frayne took home silver in the men's long jump. Then on Sunday in Japan we saw the debut of Jess Trengove in the women's marathon, and with no expectations produced a stunning 2:31.02 to almost guarantee herself a place in the plane to the London Olympics. Then finally there was a new Australian U/20 record by Jake Stein in the decathlon at the Victorian State titles, not to mention the farewell performance of Tamsyn Manou in the women's 800m. So where do we start? Well we'll start at the top and work our way down!
