ATHLETE OF THE
YEAR
Over the past four years Suzy
Walsham has regularly been ranked in the IAAF top 50 for the 1500m, and
Nationally in the top 3 in both the 800m and 1500m.
She regularly competes in the
IAAF Grand Prix Series in both the USA and Europe. This year she won the
800m/1500m double at the NSW State Championships and she also won the 800m at
the Sydney Track Classic in a very good time of 2:02.34.
At the Australian
Championships in Sydney she nearly won the double again, placing 2nd
in the 1500m thus ensuring her selection in the Commonwealth Games team and
then won the 800m.
Representing Australia at the
Commonwealth Games in Melbourne Suzy finished a fantastic 6th in the
1500m final in a season best of 4:08.42. In the 800m she progressed to the
semi-finals but her 4th race of the meet was her last, but it was a
great first Championship for our Suzy Walsham.
Congratulations
Suzy Walsham
