GEORGIA QUALIFIES FOR WORLD JUNIORS AT MILERS CLUB

The highlight of the night was a world junior championships qualifying time of 2:07.08 by Georgia Hansen in the 800m behind Georgia Griffith’s 2:06.73.
Georgia Griffith lead from the start to run a time that ranks her 1st in Australia in the U20 age group for 2015, while Georgia Hansen stuck with her the whole way to run a huge PB and qualify for next year’s world juniors.
