Congratulations to Illawong Athletics' Harrison Brierley who was victorious in the Under 18 Male NSW Decathlon Championships. The ten gruelling events were held over 17 and 18 December, 2016.
This was Harrison's first attempt at the decathlon and what an impressive effort it was. He came first in 5 of the 10 events and was a clear winner overall. His results were:
Event Place Performance Points 100m: 1st 11.40 774 400m: 1st 53.28 670 Long Jump: 1st 6.08m 604 Shot Put: 6th 10.07m 490 High Jump: 1st 1.94m 749 110m Hurdles: 1st 15.68 768 1500m: 5th 5:29.73 401 Discus: 6th 29.10m 447 Pole Vault: 6th 2.00m 140 Javelin: 6th 29.82m 297 Final Result: 1st 5340
After this success Harry will probably look at trying to improve his pole jump, given that his pole vault height wasn't much different to this high jump PB ;-)
