Daughter breaks mum’s 27-year-old State record

Powell back-to-back, Patterson’s fast finish to win Victorian 5000m Championships
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

There were records and personal bests galore at the 2014 NSW 3000 metres championships held at Homebush on Saturday night.

 

It was a big night of running with nine men’s heats of about 19 athletes, plus four women’s heats and first up a community 3000m, where Dave (Robbo) Robertson ran holding a microphone and commentating – now you don’t see that everyday at the track.

 

WOMEN’S RACE

The women’s 3000 metres was one of the best fields assembled for the race. Five athletes had sub-9:20 personal bests, but it would be a 13-year-old who stole the show. In late ‘80s 1987 Nicola Corbin was one of a powerful group of distance running girls who ran for the Reebok club (now Sydney Pacific). The group recorded stunning times as juniors:  Suzy Walsham (9:06), Julie Beckhaus (9:21), Sharon Dalton (9:06) and Nicola Corbin (9:16). In 1987, Corbin set the NSW under-16 record at 9:34.00. Now 27 years on, her 13-year-old daughter, Abbey Rockliff (ASW), has been making significant progress in distance events, but it was a tough ask for her to step up three age groups and attempt to break an under-16 record, despite Rockliff recently running 9:49.93.

 

MEN’S B RACE

In the men’s B race, Canberra’s 15-year-old Josh Toley placed third in a 23 second personal best of 8:25.51, but more importantly he smashed the Australian under-16 record of 8:29.26, held by Michael Power set in 1992.

“The plan was to get stuck into the race early, then hold it. I felt pretty good at the start and at the finish I was thinking no pain no gain so kept on pushing. The record was a target and I thought I’d be around it (the record) but didn’t think I’d run that fast,” said the year nine student, who is coached by Philo Saunders.

MEN’S A RACE

The men’s race was a win to Victorian visitor, Tom Fawthorpe in 8:03.12; as he just edged Josh Wright (Randwick Botany) who ran 8:30.30.

“I had 8:10 in my mind, but to run 8:03 is a massive bonus,” said Fawthorpe.

Wright was also pleased with his performance.

“I’ve only been back running for 12 weeks now, so to run a pb tonight was good.”

Third across the line was Jack Stapleton (Randwick Botany) in an impressive 8:08.93.
