Australian Commonwealth Games trial results 2014 - Javelin Throw

Melbourne, 6 April 2014

The men’s contest was packed with excitement. New Zealand guest Stuart Farquhar took an early lead, only to be overtaken by 19-year-old Luke Cann in round two with his 78.19m PB.

That lead was short-lived, though, as Josh Robinson moved into pole position with 79.66m. He too was surpassed by Hamish Peacock, who produced the second-best throw of his life with 80.51m. But with the last throw of the competition, Robinson regained the lead with a lifetime best of 82.48m, smashing his previous PB set more than seven years ago.

In her first competition since breaking her own Oceanian javelin record, world silver medallisr Kim Mickle was an easy winner with 64.28m. All five of her valid attempts would have been enough to win over Kelsey-Lee Roberts, who threw 58.58m in second place.
