As of June 13

 

This is a post about our U20 athletics team for worlds. AC has stricter standards for some events (slightly).

 

Men:

100m: 0. We have 3 men surpassing the WA standard (10.55) but none who have passed AC (10.50)

200m: 2.

400m: 0. 1 athlete meets WA standard but not AC's. 

800m: 2 (3 meet standard, only 2 can go)

1500m: 2

3000m: 0

5000m: 0

3000m sc: 0

RW: 0

110mh: 0. 1 athlete meets WA standard but not AC's. 

400mh: 0

Hammer throw: 1

Other Field events/Decathlon: ZERO, none even close to the standard

 

So we have only 7 male athletes qualified so far. +4 from the last update

 

Women:

100m: 2. 3 accordng to AC have surpassed.

200m: 2. 7! have the standard (more difficult than WA)

400m: 1 (also has 200 standard)

800m: 0. 1 athlete meets WA standard but not AC's. 

1500m: 2 (3 have standard)

3000m: 2: 1 athlete also qualifies in the 1500

5000m: 0

3000m sc: 0

RW: 0

100mh: 0

400mh: 0: 1 athlete meets WA standard but not AC's. 

HJ: 2

3 no marks for Jillian Weir in women’s hammer throw at the Edmonton Athletics Invitational. Hasn’t been the greatest of months for her 

 

Edit: 63m in the 5th round as her best. Yikes.

49.07 for Malik Metivier in the men’s 400m hurdles, only 0.37 off the Olympic standard!

 

56.78 for Sage Walker in the women’s 400m hurdles, not even a SB, and still two seconds shy of the Olympic standard. 

[Josh 11,635]

Pretty decent times in the women’s 400m. Lauren Gale 50.84 and Zoe Sherar 50.95, Madeline Price 51.58, Kyra Constantine 52.20, Ella Clayton 52.42.

ALYSHA NEWMAN!! 

 

4.55m SB in the women’s pole vault

 

@Surlympics

 

 

Anicka Newell also 4.45m (previous competition she NM’d) although she’s well inside the Olympic quotas so likely won’t do anything for her.

Django Lovett also way out of form, only clearing 2.10m in men’s high jump

Does Malik have a chance through world rankings if he doesn’t make the standard?
