RABAT DIAMOND LEAGUE

There were a few seasonal bests at the Rabat Diamond league, which took place in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Brandon Starc finished fifth in the high jump, with a first attempt clearance at 2.25m – an equal seasons best. After two unsuccessful attempts at 2.28m, he passed his third jump and missed his one attempt at 2.31m.

Stewart McSweyn clocked an outdoor seasons best 1,500m time of 3:36.30 for fifth place, while his training partner Ryan Gregson, who was caught behind a wall of athletes at the bell, was 13th in 3:39.04.

 

OSLO DIAMOND LEAGUE

There were seven Australians in action at the recent Oslo Diamond League, with the highlight a second consecutive personal best for Matt Ramsden.

Off a slow early pace, Stewart McSweyn kicked home to place sixth in the 3,000m in his second fastest time of 7:38.22. His training partner, Matt Ramsden, continued his breakthrough season to place 12th, taking 7 seconds from his personal best to run 7:45.68. He leapt from 36th to 15th Australian all-time.

Ryan Gregson ran a powerful final lap in the Dream Mile to place 7th in a quick 3:53.51, just outside the Doha World Championships standard of 3:53.10. Over the last 8 years only Ryan has ever run that quick amongst Australians.

Commonwealth Games champion Kathryn Mitchell won the javelin with a throw of 56.07m.

Australia had two young athletes in the half-mile events –  Joseph Deng and Carley Thomas. Joseph placed 8th in 1:48.79 and Carley, who was caught up in a busy race where there was a fall she had to avoid, was 8th in her Diamond League debut in a time of 2:05.78.
