Competing in the U18 5000m walk championship on Wednesday, he won convincingly in a 17 second PB of 22:08.63. Two days later, he took bronze in the U20 10,000m walk championship, his time of 45:32.22, a 37 sec PB. In these same championships last year, he finished 3rd in the U17 5000m (23:51) and 13th in the U20 10,000m (49:42). What a difference a year makes. With these two fine performances, Oscar has joined the small and talented group of walkers at the top of our junior ranks. I think we can expect to see a lot more from him as the year progresses. Oscar leads Dylan Richardson, Mitchell Baker and Tim Fraser in the Australian U20 10,000m in Sydney(photo Terry Swan) WHAT’S COMING UP • Next weekend sees Victorian Masters T&F Championships at Doncaster. Good luck to all our walkers. I look forward to reporting on the meet in next week’s newsletter.
