It is that time of the year where the best australian runners jumpers and throwers all meet at the nationals and this year it also happens to be a commonwealth games selection trials, oh and the first time in i cant remember when it was held in Perth.

I have been lucky enough in my short aths "career", to be competing at an under 21/open titles many years ago now and could go and watch many australian athletes compete who i had seen on tv now they were live in from of my eyes warming up on the warm up track just like you and i.

I recommend to anyone remotely interested in aths/running or sport to go down and have a watch on friday/saturday or sunday. I have a good friend of mine Courtney Carter competing in the 5000m final on saturday night and even though i have to go away to Adelaide to umpire this week i will be trying my best to get down and watch him come 9pm.

There are so many other events this weekend that would be well worth watching. 400m mens final, Australia are one of the top 400m relay teams and have some top quality 400m runners. Pole Vault with Steve Hooker. And my personal fav on Sunday the mens 1500m final with one of the best fields of the weekend and being one of the toughest track events having to get through heat and final.

So if you have some time go down support your Australian Aths

Enjoy
