The 2023 Chemist Warehouse Australian Track and Field Championships have started in Australia. Aussie, it looks like McSweyn and Hoare are AWOL. What's up with that? What is your selection criteria? Does a win automatically get you into Worlds assuming you have the standard?
Anyways, with them absent, I started to wonder. Might a 16-year old really win the title? Here are the results from today's prelims.
