Kurtis Marschall, Matt Ramsden and Peter Bol have claim gold at the Australian Athletics Championships to book their tickets for the major events later in the year.
It was a redemption mission for Kurtis Marschall, putting the memories of 2021’s no height in the national final behind him as a 5.60m clearance saw him return to the top of the Australian pole vault ranks.
Marschall overcame a shaky start when requiring all three attempts after entering at 5.40m, eventually finding his groove to be the only man clear at 5.60m.
Peter Bol became a three-time national champions as he continued his strong form, running 1:48.78 ahead of fellow Tokyo teammate Charlie Hunter (1:49.31) and New Zealand’s Brad Mathas (1:49.52).
Matthew Ramsden backed up last night’s 1500m silver with gold in the Men’s 5000m national bout, breaking through to win the Australian title in a time of 13:40.69.
Marschall and Bol have earned their selections for the World Championships and Commonwealth Games.
