exceeded expectations in pretty much all events, besides Julia Tunks who could only muster up a 52m throw in the women’s discus throw final after being ranked #2 in the world and finishing just a couple of spots outside of qualifying for the Paris Olympics.
Dianna Proctor, who won silver in the women’s 400m and ran the 2nd leg of the 4x100m relay that won bronze will definitely be a name that I’ll keep my eye out for in the upcoming years, and so too Rachel Forsyth in the women’s 1500m (silver in the 1500m)
John O’Reily (men’s 800m, 4th) and Asia Phillips (women’s triple jump, 4th) are other performances that really stood out to me, but so many of our athletes improved on their seeding.
won four medals which is above expectations. The decathlon was the only stonewall chance we had coming in. Mixed relay was probably an outsider but the medals in women's LJ and 400H were totally unexpected.
