Strange, he never really struck me as someone that had a way with words.

Tim O’Brien competed in national high jump comps at high school.

We shook it and out fell Daisy. I’m assuming head hitting the ground first.

Nah I reckon that fruit was in pretty good nick when we caught it....managed to get every last bit of juice out of it before Carlton snatched it out of our hand...idiots

Another thread that McGrath beats Burtone at.

Take that whoever Burtone is. Bloody italians.

Carlton's #10 pick this year, Lochie O'Brien, was an elite junior runner.

I think he ran a VIC u/15 record time for 400m. Something like 51.3s.

 

[Foreign Legion]

For references sake, AFL players who still hold State little aths records....

Sav Rocca (U10 Discuss)

I always thought he articulated very well.....

I know he held the Vic Schoolboys open age record as well.

I was in u18 nationals high jump a long time ago - pretty sure I found the results a few years back and out of 24 entrants 4 or 5 played AFL. Ashley Sampi was definitely one of them. High jump would probably have the highest proportion of state champions to AFL players.

That would be three things given Burto won the other ten.

Koutoufides was U16 National champion in high jump & 110m hurdles. Dunno about holding any records, but it would be safe to say he’d have picked up some record or other at his school or athletics club along the journey.

Positive he had the state high jump record. I thought it was amazing that it was his record we were going for back in the day.

Again memory is fading a little here but I'd say Drew Petrie has a few records in underage athletics - think he won the nationals? Just looked it up but couldn't find anything though.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Jason Cripps, ******* insane some of the s**t he posted as a junior, freak, posted times in multiple sprint events which begger belief.

Nic Dal also held a record or 2.

Not in running or jumping, throwing perhaps.

Here are 5 names from one centre and one age group.

The Doncaster track is ridiculously fast - probably the fastest in Aus outside the (borderline illegal) Canbberra AIS track. Those are good times.

My son smashed his PB in the 60 hurdles there on Saturday by 4/10ths.

Amazing that he long jumped near 4.50 though, i've seen a couple of kids jump just over 4 metres and they were flying machines.

Not sure if anyone is aware of it, but Mark Blicavs used to do a little bit of Steeplechase at a fairly high level prior to playing AFL

Pendles used to play a bit of Bball as well.

Didn't realise the Scott twins were so good as juniors, that 400 mtr time would be very competitive at state level, quickest i've seen from an u9 is 1.10, Jack Crisp ran 1.11 at the Albury open day as an u9 and that record still stands so 1.06 is astounding.

A kid from Williamstown ran 1.04 at the 2017 State Champs this year. New record. Very impressive.

Super impressive considering only the very best sprinters can run a sub 32 second 200, that kid did that twice in the same race lol.
