Sydney Pacific’s National 800m bronze medallist Jared West lowered his PB from 1:47.99 to 1:47.44 at the Perth Track Classic last weekend. A blistering pace!

Achievements: 3rd at 2013 Open National Championship, 1st at 2013 Qld Track Classic and 2nd at 2013 Melbourne World Challenge.

Coach: John Patchett.

Likes these other activities: Love all outdoor activities, Snowboarding, Surfing and Kite surfing although most of these have been put on hold during the track season. I’m a keen and increasingly successful fisherman. Also love to travel and explore the world, so heading away on a surfing and fishing trip is one of my favourite past times.

Favorite foods: I have a weakness for lol-lols. Starbursts are my favourites. At the moment I’ve got an obsession with Mexican, Bench in Manly is my favourite restaurant. Definitely recommend checking it out!
