Doncaster Newsletter 40+
Edition 70
Round 9 – 4/2/2023
Doncaster athletes had to travel for round 9, so points were down, but we did finish in the top half of the Premier division, which augers well for the Playoffs. The over 40 teams both finished fourth in the state, but other age groups didn’t do as well. There was only one record this week, with David Vaughan taking a chunk out of his 1500 metres record. Jim Poulter is also coming into form, getting close to his Australian record in the pole vault.

Athletes to finish top 10 in the state were:
M40+: 100m Paul Mierisch (4th), 200m David Firth (4th), 400m Paul Mierisch (2nd) David Vaughan (5th), 1500m David Vaughan (1st) Campbell McLennan (9th), 300 hurdles Graham Ford (1st), 3000m steeple John Curry (3rd), Pole Vault Jim Poulter (4th), Javelin David Firth (2nd), Shot Put Campbell McLennan (9th), Hammer David Firth (2nd)
W40+ 100m Wendy Smith (6th), Javelin Sue Kilmartin (7th), Shot Put Laura McLennan (5th) Wendy Smith (10th)
It’s not surprising, looking at the team results, that five of the top scorers were over 40, with Brodie Mierisch being the exception, just shading his father with 1,316 to 1,269, with David Firth on top with 1,330. David Vaughan scored 1,239 with Campbell McLennan on 1,140, just ahead of his wife, Laura, on 1,066.
Last weekend was the Country Championships in Geelong, with a number of Doncaster athletes running by invitation
