Breanna “Cannon” Waerea (14) is going from strength to strength with her Hammer throwing adding another 81cm to her already impressive record.
Her new distance now stands at 36.29m and she is well on her way to being Mount Isa’s third elite Hammer thrower.
Equally impressive was Jade Scott’s run in the 90m Hurdles.
Her clean run helped her finish in a time of 16.0s knocking 0.72s off her old time.
Ruth Chandler added 34cm to her Triple Jump in the 35-39 Womens age group pushing the record to 7.85m.
The perfect five from five PB’s proved elusive on the weekend with no-one able to achieve the feat however, Remmy English, Bella Morely, Indi Clewett, Hughie Dickenson-Jones and Cruise Taylor all finished with four from five.
Remmy may well have been able to secure her fifth but her 800m was the first that she had attempted for the year. Probably the more frustrating result was from 6 year old Mason Turner who secured three PB’s and an equal distance in his Long Jump and to rub salt into the wound was only one tenth of a second off his PB in the 100m.
The girls were all over the Legend Certificates as well with Mollie English, Lulu Morely and Aleigha Ferris all passing the predetermined level. The only one flying the flag for the boys was Logan Bell with a 19.35m discus throw.
Even this weeks Mighty Minion was a girl with four year old Alexis Moore to receive the Certificate for putting her best into every event.
The 10 year girls saw the Clubs’ second three way tie when Serina Gowland, Ally Haddon and Tia Peel all crossed the line in unison in the 60m Hurdles.
Another noteworthy performance from the girls was from Mollie English who looked strong in the mixed age 1500m race. A special mention should go to one of the boys, Jayden Boshoff, who put in an impressive 5m 56.8s time in the same race.
Two of the Clubs’ injured 11 year olds, Kadea O’Donnell and Sienna TeWani, showed that they have hearts of lions when it came to the 800m. Sienna who only recently had surgery on her femur toughed it out for two laps to record her first time for the season. Kadea, currently on crutches and wearing a moon boot, didn’t want to be left out and talked officials into letting her on the track.
They agreed on the condition that she only did 400m. She zipped around the oval to the cheers of the crowd in an awesome time of 2m47.4s to beat all the 800m runners home. A short video of the end of her race can be seen on the Mount Isa Athletic Club Facebook page.
