Both did superb PBs (Dane 38:44.61, PB 0:12) and Beki (43:48.08, PB 0:36) and both set meet records. For Dane, it is the latest in a wonderful series of walks – he is already in the Olympic team and continues to improve in leaps and bounds. For Beki, it confirms her great form and makes her own Olympic selection case a lot stronger. Alas, I don't have any photos from the meet so will have to go with a couple of recent ones from the files – sorry guys! The track walks used to feature every year as an integral part of the Australian T&F Championships but were discontinued after 1998. After a lot of badgering, Athletics Australia finally relented and allowed an invitational 5000m walk at the 2013 Australian T&F Championships in Sydney. The following year, 10,000m track walk championships were added to the official program, with Melbourne hosting the first scheduling.
