We have taken a detailed look at the performances from the men competing at the Sydney Track Classic, now it's time to look at the women's performances.

The Next Chapter: Ryan Foster in Hobart for the Briggs Athletics Classic

Although we won't see the 800m world record holder in David Rudisha make his way down to the Domain Athletics Centre (we will have to wait until the Melbourne Track Classic to see him in action over the 2 laps), we do get to see a very interesting field which includes Ryan Gregson, James Kaan, Jordan Williamsz and local star, Ryan Foster. Although most eyes will be on Gregson after his impressive performance in Adelaide recently, Foster will also have his fair share of local support considering he was born in Hobart.
