Sporting Career

2006 – Jeremy scored a big breakthrough at the NSW state titles when he ran 3:39.88 in the heats and went on to finish second in the final. A few days later he ran a personal best time of 3:39.58 at the Sydney Track Classic and went on to finish eighth at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, his debut international meet.

2007 – It was a season of third places for Jeremy, rounding out the podium finishers over 1500m in Sydney (3:41.48), Melbourne (3:38.20) and at the national championships (3:42.88). In December Jeremy went one better, placing second in the 1500m at the Zatopek Classic in Melbourne in 3:42.80.

2008 – Jeremy’s domestic campaign got off to a flying start, posting a season-best 3:39.72 to place fifth in Sydney, a result he repeated just five days later in Melbourne when he finished fifth in 3:41.14 in a field that featured Briton Andrew Baddeley and Kenyan Bernard Kiptum. At the national championships he again placed third, running home in 3:42.66. December saw a second consecutive second place at the Zatopek Classic, following Jeff Riseley to the line in 3:40.42.

2009 – Finished fourth in the 1500m at the Sydney Track Classic in a time of 3:37.59 then bettered that position in finishing second to Jeff Riseley at the World Athletics Tour Melbourne in 3:40.88 a week later. He again finished second to Riseley at the national championships in March, crossing the line in 3:37.62. Roff placed second to Collis Birmingham over the mile distance in the lucrative Leonora Gift in Western Australia in May on the eve of his departure for Europe, where he soon recorded a new lifetime best over 1500m, stopping the clock at 3:34.39 in Berlin, well inside A-qualifying standard and elevating himself to No. 7 on the Australian all-time list over that distance. In July he recorded a new career best mark over the mile, crossing the line in 3:55.05 in London.
