Fast Flat Race
March 14, 2006
Lady steeplers preparing for their Commonwealth Games competition (heats March 19, final March 22) achieved fine clockings as they took six of the first nine places in a 3000-meter flat race during the opening meet of 2006 IAAF "World Athletics Tour. This Grand Prix meet was held March 9 at Melbourne, Australia, the Games city.

1-Donna MacFarlane, TAS 8:50.65; 3-Kate McIlroy, NZL 8:53.10; 4-Melissa Rollison, QLD 8:54.86; 5-Victoria Mitchell, VIC 8:58.42; 8-Jo Ankier, ENG, 9:06.76; 9-Tina Brown, ENG 9:10.54. [12 finishers, 1 DNF]

The result, and arrival soon of other top Commonwealth steeplers from Jamaica and Kenya, suggest that Games steeple results may revise current IAAF world rankings for women's steeplechase.
