2025 Track Results

that looks an interesting 100 line up - not the people one expect to see in most races.
Just to point out that Browning's PB is listed as from 2021 -which is correct - but that little column showing season best matters more at this stage.
A recent 10.01 gives us more information as to how he might run. He needs points to make the Worlds

Exactly. Jut like Dominik Kopec was close to a 10.00 flat several years ago and hasn't done anything since. Glad Rohan Browning showed his worth winning yet another national title. I really want him to get that first sub 10 as I know he is capable. Rooting for Hansen to have a nice showing too.

Victoria Cameron finished last in 11.30 -1.4W

I just watched the race, and it didn't look as bad as it sounds.
In fact, it seemed like Victoria was leading the race through 60m, although it's hard to tell given the angle.
But she was definitely in the mix, and maybe was just a stride or so behind the winner. See the attached photo (top).
She is just a sophomore, so she will be back.

I blame is on the being stuck in lane 1 and the nerves. Plus it was a very long season for her. I'm very proud of this young lady!

remember races when we were younger. In big finals there could be a difference of 5 metres first to last. In LA'84 Lewis beat 2nd place Graddy by several metres.
It's nothing like that now. It truly is "tough at the top"

yes, and remember that Browning's Australian title time was 10.001.

"12 Apr 2025 — Browning took victory in the men's race with a time of 10.01 (.001), ahead of Lachie Kennedy in 10.01 (.006). .....

"But in a photo finish, Browning's time was confirmed as 10.01 (.001), and Kennedy's 10.01 (.006). Left to right: Lachlan Kennedy, Jake Doran and ... "

it's only in quite recent years with precise technology where that wouldn't be a 10 flat.
To think the "magic" 9.99 was a mere 5 inches away. His top 10 100m times now average 10.06.

I love being in a distant land, but if our sprinters lived in and had opportunities in Europe to race in various surrounding countries throughout their season there would be so many more opportunities and more chances of helpful weather conditions

Lachlan Kennedy has some beautiful numbers in 2025

Unfortunately, Browning was dis-qualified in the heats. So we have no idea how well he might have run.
Simon Hansen ran 10.17 for 4th place.

I'm wondering what is going on with the 20 year old Polish Sprinter Marek Zakrzewski? He is by far their best young sprinter. With a personal best of 10.25 from 2 years ago I was hoping to see him ready to storm into the senior rankings in Poland. The kid has raced once this year and ran in the 10.60's with a positive wind. He took the indoor season off for the first time ever. Injuries or just maybe that he is way out of shape. Very sad to see. The summer is still young so I hope to see him running both the 100 & 200 meters along with the 4 x 100 Relay.

Let's hope he can turn it around soon. I guess if not he can shoot for next year but this kid is just so fun to watch!

His only 3 100m races this year have been in the 10.6 and 10.7 range. Not a promising sign, he must be battling injuries. Dominik Kopec ran a 10.26 into a negative wind on June 13th. He had a 10.09 last year and a 10.05 the year before. He is 30 but maybe he can pull something out this year. Unfortunately this may just not be the year for Poland. They have a lot of young guys in the 10.5 range so maybe in a few years someone will emerge.

On a side note in regards to Su: I have traveled to China many times and he is not well known or regarded by Chinese people, they are obsessed with basketball and black basketball players from the USA, even their local teams have scrub blacks playing in the leagues that are worshiped by young kids...sad to see. Track is way down on the popularity list even after hosting the Olympic games...

Sad to see this virus spreading throughout the world
 
nice to see NZer Zoe Hobbs winning the Turku 100m in a legal 11.07. She knows how to round into form. And she's 27 going on 28 now so perhaps as good as she'll ever become.
Her coach of 10 years James Mortimer was a decent long sprinter/hurdler (50.73/400H, 20.90/200, 13.70/110H who represented NZ in world chanps and com games.He believes that you have to know the entire person to find the best in them.

Takacs, Leduc and Van der Weken not far in arrears and are also rounding into form.

Back to Mortimer, I was thinking how the athletics world depends on people passionate for their sport, who have experienced the ups and downs and the "almost made it" of competition who then put so much back into that sport.
Shout out to all those thousands of coaches everywhere.
By the looks of him 42yo Mortimer looks like he takes being fit and living a healthy lifestyle seriously.

Certainly, many athletes owe their success to their coaches, who dedicated their lives to getting all they could out of that athlete's talent. Without that particular coach, the athlete may not have done nearly as well. I think Warholm's coach may be one of these. I know they are close friends, and Warholm's talent has been taken far beyond what anyone would have expected.
Of course, this not always true either. Sometimes a particular coach may not be the best fit for an athlete, and holds him/her back from reaching their full potential. Christophe Lemaitre's coach, for example.
And remember what happened when Jeremy Wariner switched coaches? He was never the same.

A good example might be Louie Hinchcliffe working with Carl Lewis. They probably just kind of gel together. Be interesting to see if he gets any faster.

I just checked and it looks like Hichcliffe has only run once this year on May 25th and his time was 11.65. Maybe it’s injuries or some kind of warm up race or something. Last year he had 4 sub 10 runs.

Coby Hilton ran 10.25 and 10.24 (0.4w and 0.8w) today in Austria.

Thanks brother. I was worried he had given up track. Haven't seen him much as a year ago. Great news. Times are respectable. Let's hope it's a good base to build on. I give him credit as most white american 100 meters sprinters give up track either at graduation or within a year or two at most after. This kid chases his dream like Andrew Robertson no matter what happens. Hilton was dynamic indoors in 2024!
 
Van der Weken needs to take a short break as she is racing far too much and her races are definitely to close together, her times are not as good as her talent...
 
I was looking up Coby Hilton vids on YouTube and came across one called, "Coby Hilton: GO BACK TO ICE HOCKEY." It's some black guy ranting about a what a loser Coby is. I bring it up here because it's important for people realize how much hate blacks have for whites.

Trey Cunningham ran another 13 flat to win the Paris Diamond League 110 meter hurdles.
Click to expand...

If my memory is correct without checking that is the 3rd time in his career he has tied his personal best of 13.00! This is the summer he should finally join the Sub 13 Club in the Hurdles. It's alot harder to do that than to run a Sub 10. Far less men have done it in history!

Only 26 guys in the history of the world have done it.

Devon Allen is the 3rd fastest 110 Hurdler in history with a time of 12.84! The world record is 12.80. Serguy Shubenkov of Russia
went 12.92 so he was'nt too far off either. Hoping Cunningham can get in the 12.90's and maybe faster before he is done.

One last thing. I think Devon Allen had a chance at the world record if he wasn't disqualified at the World Champs. So sad to see as he was in top shape & the best form of his life that year! Only 5/100th of a second from breaking the world record with his personal best earlier on that year.

Here is a someone we haven't talked much about here on this board. Simon Verherstaeten of Belgium could be close to joining a very
elite club. What club you ask? The sub 10 and sub 20 club. Last summer he ran personal best times of 10.06 and 20.13. His 200 meter
time is a Belgian National Record. Can he return to form later this summer? He races tommorow so good luck to him.
 
I'm going to make a crazy prediction. Yes it may be a long shot but I feel Yannick Wolf goes sub 10 tommorow. He would be the first german of european ancestry to do it and it's long over due. I'm predicting it happens tommorow at home in Germany on June 21st!

Also hoping Heiko Gussman can break his p.b. of 10.15 which he set last weekend.He is only 21 years old.
