MELBOURNE (AUS, Apr 1): Linden Hall became the first Oceanian woman to break 4 minutes in the 1500 m. At the Box Hill Classic meet she clocked 3:59.67 Area record and World lead. Second Genevieve Gregson was way back in 4:10.08. In the men’s 1500m, Jye Edwards set a big personal best of 3:35.46, just outside of the Olympic Games qualifying mark of 3:35.00. Behind him Matt Ramsden 3:35.94 and Ryan Gregson 3:36.72. David McNeill, 34, ran a personal best 7:46.41 in the 3000m. New ZealandÂ´s Brad Mathias won the 800 m in 1:46.31 ahead of Peter Bol 1:46.49. With the help from RRW.

It’s been a dream so far, and I’m keen to keep adding to this list! #OlympicYear https://t.co/WB0pHGPpib
