Men's 800m A final

1st place – Sean Farrell NZL 1:48.44
" I was disappointed with the race, the pace was not as quick as I would have liked. I thought they (the Australians) would have taken it out a little faster, they needed the time." "I took it up because no one else was going!"

2nd place – Brendan Hanigan TAS 1:48.47
"I would have liked the win but good on Sean." "I wasn't really worried if it was 2 minutes, I had the A qualifier. It would have been nice to get the win and go to the World Cup."

3rd place – Joseph Ischia VIC 1:48.74
On reaching the back straight Martin Byron led a tightly packed field from Hanigan and Cremer. Into the home straight Farrell emerged from the pack to take the bell in 54.76 . The order remained the same for most of the second lap with the gap closing on the leader. Ten metres out anyone of the three leaders could have won but Cremer got the staggers. Farrell hung on from Hanigan with Ischia grabbing third spot and Heath Fitzpatrick fourth then Cremer.

MENS 400M HURDLE FINAL

1st place – Zid Abou Hamed NSW
"I am very happy to be selected. I have had many injuries, hamstring back and I had a ligament operation,80% of my ligament is gone. I have been up and down, I am just happy to run and get a B qualifier."

2nd place – Matt Beckenham NSW
"I came of hurdle 10 badly, re-gathered and I was taken by Zid. I tried. It is my first Commonwealth Games. World Students last year was disappointing, an eye opener. I just want to get over there (Kuala Lumpur) with Rohan and see what we can do."

Event Review
From the outside lanes Bates and Woodhouse began fast with both Beckenham and Abou Hamed who had already posted "A" qualifiers settling into stride . In the run home the two favourites were fast closing the gap on Carroll who had by this time had opened up a big lead. The effort from Carroll proved too much and with 80 to go fell. The two qualifiers continued their head to head contest right to the line with Abou Hamed getting the decision with both athletes credited with the same time of 51.11. Armstrong from New Zealand finished third in 52.40

Men's Pole Vault

1st place – Paul Burgess 5.40m
"That was really good considering I didn't feel that good. I only expected to go out there today and make the team but I ended up jumping a B qualifier and had a shot at my PB of 5.61m. I got back from Europe on Wednesday and I'm still suffering from jet lag and trying to catch up on sleep. I didn't feel that crash hot today so I'm really happy. I wasn't expecting to jump that well and I had one reasonable shot and one good one at the A qualifier. I'm not sure how I'll go at the Commonwealths – I'll just go out there and try my best and see what happens. This will be my first senior team so it should be interesting. I'm going to go home now. I haven't been home for two months. I wasn't happy with World Juniors. I got bronze but I won in Sydney and I wanted to win again but I had a disappointing competition. If I had have competed well and jumped my best I would have been happy."

2nd place – Paul Gibbons 5.20m
3rd place – Andrew Vearing 5.05m
Burgess, who has just returned from the World Junior Championships in France with a bronze medal in the pole vault, was unchallenged. He just missed a clearance at 5.61m, but managed a 5.40m clearance on his second attempt, which was a Commonwealth B qualifier. Burgess has already reached the Commonwealth A qualifying standard, and with his win today has booked himself a ticket to Kuala Lumpur.

Men's long jump

1st place – Jai Taurima (AIS) 8.14m
"I'm pretty happy but disappointed at the same time. If the wind was not as strong, I would have jumped further. A strong wind sends you out of control. I always knew I'd be in good form today, and if everything goes right in KL I'll be laughing."

2nd place – Shane Hair (NSW) 7.83m
3rd place – Peter Burge (NSW) 7.77m
"I haven't jumped for six weeks so if I make the team I'll be really happy. If I miss out, I will be disappointed because I've had a really good domestic season. My last jump felt really good but I didn't hit the board properly."

"Jumping" Jai Taurima led the competition after his second round leap of 8.12m. Jai is currently ranked number 2 in the Commonwealth, and has the second best jump ever by an Australian (8.21m). Peter Burge, who has achieved an A qualifier, only managed a distance of 7.77m while the national champion, Shane Hair managed a B qualifier of 7.83m on is third attempt.

Men's shot

1st place – Justin Anlezark (QLD) 19.36m
"I've had some days off so I've come out feeling great. Prior to that I've been struggling, I've lost weight and felt very sick. That was a personal best by over 30cm. I'm very happy with the result and I'm feeling confident."

2nd place – Clay Cross (NSW) 18.56m
"I'm extremely happy. I threw well in my warm up and I got excited in the first three rounds. I calmed down after that, and threw better. I've changed a few things around which have helped. This is also a NSW Open record."

3rd place – Aaron Neighbour (VIC) 18.55m
The shot produced an excellent competition with Australians top three throwers all surpassing the Commonwealth A standard. Anlezark and Cross both threw personal bests, with Neighbour only 40cm off his own best throw.

Men's discus

1st place – Ian Winchester (63.43m)
2nd place – Peter Elvy (52.57m)
"Conditions weren't the best. Ive still got a bit of jet lag; still a bit tired. I'm still feeling the effects of having glandular fever, I've got no energy. I wanted to go to the Commonwealth Games. I needed 58 and I threw 52 so it wasn't good and I stuffed up Juniors. I'm a bit disappointed – I should have been up for a medal there. It was a learning experience, that's all I'm going to say. A learning experience! I'm still doing decathlon, still jumping well (over 7 metres) in long jump. I want to go to Sydney 2000 for Discus and World Champs in '99 in Spain for Discus – I think qualifying is 60m. This year – this is my first year at weights, so I want to get big. I need to put on weight. I think I'm the lightest discus thrower ever!"

3rd place – Jakob Vujcic
In trying conditions no Australian thrower reached the qualifying mark for the discus. The best of the Australians was World Junior representative Peter Elvy who managed a throw of 52.57m, Jacob Vujcic 51.99 was third. New Zealander Ian Winchester was the stand out competitor with a winning throw of 63.23. Ian's first throw was just under the 60 metre mark with all other throws past it, his third round throw was also a world class effort of 63.09. Ian is a definite medal chance at KL.

Men's Decathlon

After two events:
1st place – Jagan Hames (SA)
"That was a pretty good long jump (7.55m). It's my best this season. I had a foot operation recently, and this is my first competition since then. I just want to get through the competition with a decent score and then go hard at the Commonwealth Games. Mike Smith (CAN) will be my main rival. He won the last two decathlons at the Commonwealth Games, but anything can happen in a decathlon.

2nd place – Scott Ferrier (VIC)
3rd place – Peter Banks (NSW)
" I was pretty happy with my last jump (7.39m) – I felt good in the run-up (with the other two jumps it was all over the place) – and when the white flag went up – I was relieved. The 100m was a good result considering the head win – so I'm feeling good going into the 400m. If I can just stay consistent it will be good. My groin is still sore so after Monday – I'll get physio and rest up till KL."

Hames, the Australian Champion, is a strong medal contender in Kuala Lumpur. He is ranked second in the Commonwealth with 7,868 points. He was also the World Junior high jump champion in 1994. Injury forced him out of the Atlanta Olympic Games, as well as the World Championships in 1997. Peter Banks also has a Commonwealth A qualifier and is looking to secure a berth on the Australian team.

WOMENS 100M Preliminaries

No surprises in these two races, with all top athletes progressing comfortably to the final. Lauren Hewitt took the first heat (11.83 sec), narrowly beating Tania Van Heer (11.87 sec). Nova Peris-Kneebone looked comfortable, winning the second heat in 11.95 From Sharon Cripps(12.11)

WOMENS 100M FINAL (wind : -4.5)

1st place - Lauren Hewitt 11.69 sec
2nd place - Tania Van Heer 11.84 sec
3rd place - Nova Peris Kneebone 11.95 sec
4th place - Sharon Cripps 12.11 sec
Lauren Hewitt joined her 1996 World Junior teammate Matt Shirvington in the 100m for the Commonwealth Games. Lauren took control of the race from the start, running away from her challengers to win convincingly and comfortably

WOMENS 400M FINAL

1st place – Lee Naylor 52.58 sec
"I was happy to win. The wind was horrendous, I felt horrendous. That was the most painful 52.5 that I've ever run. I've run a few A qualifiers before, and I trained reasonably hard through this. I'm really aiming for the 400m final in Kuala Lumpur. This is really just a race in between."

2nd place – Jane Arnott 52.93 sec
"I'm very happy. Oh God I can't remember it. I'm very happy. I had to run 52 and a half but I don't think I did that. I came home strong. I'll just have to see what the selectors decide."

3rd place – Anna Smythe 52.99
Lee Naylor ran a great race to win. She led most of the way, with Arnott coming through strongly for second place. Susan Andrews, who was challenging for the lead in the home straight, tired badly and finished fourth.

Women 400Hurdle Final

1st place – Evette Cordy VIC 58.22
"I just put my head down and ran." "I felt really good, really comfortable until hurdle 5." "I knew it was not a good day to run a fast time, but I used the conditions to my advantage."

2nd place – Adrienne McIvor QLD 58.50
3rd place – Stephanie Price NSW 58.56
"I don't know what happened, I felt very good until the last 20 metres. I thought I might have got her (McIvor) but I don't know where Cordy came from."

McIvor led over the first jump closely followed by Price. By the third hurdle Price had taken the led with a gap opening up to the rest of the field. At the third last jump the two were level and applying pressure to each other, so much so that they took the second last hurdle together. With one to go there was still nothing in it but both girls were not balanced. Meantime Cordy was finishing strongly and after the last hurdle proved too strong and caught them both before the line winning in 58.22. McIvor held out Price for second placing.

Women's triple jump

1st place – Nicole Mladenis (WA) 13.17m
2nd place – Mari Viduka (VIC) 13.11m
3rd place – Amy Walker (QLD) 12.70m
Australian record holder Mari Viduka led the competition after three rounds. Australian Champion Nicole Mladenis then jumped to the lead with 13.17m. It was her only jump over 13m but it was enough to win. Both Viduka and Mladenis have reached the Commonwealth B qualifying standard of 13.50m.

WOMENS DISCUS

1st place – Lisa-Marie Vizaniari
"I'm really happy to win. I didn't think I would because I was a very late entry. I only decided three hours before the meet to actually throw. I had a shocking series of throws as well. I was coming third into the final round and I picked up a different discus. It worked, I clinched it on the last throw! It's great to beat the world champion. You can't take that away from me.

2nd place – Beatrice Faumuina 60.50m
"I was not happy. It would have been nice to have been fully fit. I've been feeling a bit fluey lately. I was hoping to kick start my season here."

3rd place – Alison Lever
" I'm very happy. I think I was the most consistent thrower with two throws over 60m. I'm looking for a medal in KL, after finishing 9th in 1994. It's excellent having Beatrice here. She is a role model for me, so I try to throw as close as I can to her because she is the World Champion. It's great having her here."

4th place – Katrina Steele
With the late entries of World Champion Beatrice Faumuina (NZL) and Australia's World Top-10 thrower Lisa-Marie Vizaniari, an already strong field including Alison Lever and two-time World Junior representative Katrina Steele, became ever hotter. Faumuina, Vizaniari and Lever are ranked 1,2 and 3 in the Commonwealth and young Steele (17 years) 9th. It was a great tussle, with Lever in the lead up until the last round, where Faumuina and Vizianiari produced throws over 60.50m. Lever could not reply, and ended up in third place.

Women's Javelin

1st place - Joanna Stone (QLD) 68.23m.
"It's the biggest throw in Australia by far. It was the only one that felt any good. Who's going to get it (Aust record) – we'll have to wait and see. The two of us in KL will mean it's a very, very good competition.

2nd place - Louise McPaul (NSW) 64.55m
"It was a pretty good quality. I'm wrapt with that – It's my first comp back. It's been a long time since I felt fit and injury free. I'm looking forward to the next five to six weeks. We're counting down the time until the Australian record goes. With Jo throwing 68m, that's a real inspiration for me. I saw it leave her hand and I knew it was gone. I know I can throw a long way, against Jo it's great."

3rd place Cecilia McIntosh (VIC) 43.93m
Joanna Stone started the competition strongly with two throws over 61m. Louise grabbed the lead after round three with her best of 64.55m Joanna responded incredibly, producing the longest throw seen in Australia 68.23m, which is just centimetres short of her personal best.
