I agree Boling and Browning but Ceccarelli and Dobson have to prove it first. Indoors isn't where fame comes from
as you guys know. It's what you do outdoors and in major championships that makes you a household name.
Don't get me wrong. I'm just as excited & stoked about his potential as you jacknyc. I just want to see him back it up outdoors.
That being said I'm hopeful for Henrik Larsson and Julian Wagner to step it up this summer. Wagner ran 10.11 three times last
year and two of the races had no wind. He is on the verge. I thought he would do it last year but hopefully I was just a year off.
I also have a strong feeling now about Larsson. Remember a 10.20 at 19 years age and nothing since. I think he is finally healthy.
Charlie Dobson has great potential but he races a few times a year. He will have to also stay healthy & race more to have a chance.
Would be nice to see Kopec also make a run at it. He ran in the 6.50's most of the indoor season and finished with a 6.53!
I will be at Homebush Olympic Park this coming Saturday as I am competing in masters Shot and Discus there this weekend. After masters events the Sydney Grand Prix (or whatever they want to call it now) where the 100m women's and men's entries are as follows:
100M
WOMEN
ARISA KIMISHIMA, BREE MASTERS, EBONY LANE, ELLA CONNOLLY, HANA BASIC, NAA ANANG, TORRIE LEWIS, ZOE HOBBS,
KRISTIE EDWARDS, SAM GEDDES
100M MEN
JACK HALE, JACOB DESPARD, JAKE DORAN, JOSHUA AZZOPARDI, ROHAN BROWNING,
ANAS ABU GANABA, CALAB LAW, CONNOR BOND, EDDIE OSEI-NKETIA, SEBASTIAN SULTANA,
These guys are our best sprinters and in all stages of development, young to very experienced. If someone doesn't run fast in this scenario I'll be truly worried.
Jacob Despard could well become the fastest ever sprinter from
Tasmania and take the crown from the fading
Jack Hale. Jacob ran
10.21 (-0.2) 6 weeks ago and it would be nice if he has peaked injury free.
Tasmania is our least populous state with 550,000 people.
Zoe Hobbs (11.07 last fortnight) and
Gus Nketia (10.08PB) will be over from NZ.
Weather will be comfortably warm, maybe 27C.
Wind at this stage looks to be coming over the sprinter's left shoulders at about 3.5mps which may be legal taking into account it isn't right behind them
