Track records tumble
By Nathan Burdon, of the Southland Times, in Invercargill
 |
Track records fell and the Australians dominated in the opening evening session of the Oceania Championships at the ILT Velodrome in Invercargill tonight.
Defending champion Scott Sunderland proved too strong in the final of the elite men's 1000m time trial.
Sunderland (1:03.686) defeated local hero and New Zealand record holder Eddie Dawkins (1:04.682), who set the track record and fastest ever time by a New Zealander of 1:03.700 as a junior at this year's national championships.
Dawkins' fellow under 23 rider, Elijah May (New Zealand) was third in 1:06.288.
There was more to cheer about for the local spectators when Invercargill's Tom Scully took out the junior under 19 mens 10km scratch race and fellow Southlander Sequoia Cooper claimed bronze in the junior under 19 women's 12km points race.
Scully won from New Zealand team-mate Jason Christie, with Australian Peter Johnstone third.
In the all-Australian final of the women's elite sprint, Anna Meares won back some bragging rights from older sister Kerrie after losing to her in the same event at the Australian nationals.
Anna won the final 2-nil and said she had been pleasantly surprised by the quality of Invercargill's ILT Velodrome.

''I brought all types of warm gear because I thought it was going to be like 5 degrees in here and not the best of venues, but when I got here it was really nice. I really love the track and I'd love to come back. The track is smooth, easy and nice to ride on - and you get a crowd, some places in Australia and around the world you don't get a crowd so it's nice to ride in a venue where there's a bit of noise.''
Australian Kaarle McCulloch beat New Zealand's Natasha Hansen 2-nil in the elite women's sprint bronze medal ride off.
The morning session provided plenty of thrills with the Australians sending a number of track records tumbling in the sprint qualifying.
Annette Edmondsen set a new mark of 12.121 seconds in the junior under 19 women's sprint, while Anna Meares beat New Zealander Fiona Carswell's record of 11.73 seconds with a time of 11.56 seconds in the elite women's sprint.
Compatriot Ben Sanders went under the old track record in the under 19 men's sprint by just three hundreds of a second, but the real action was in the men's sprint qualifying.
Dunedin rider Nathan Seddon's mark of 10.505 seconds was broken not once but five times with defending Oceania champion Mark French recording the fastest time with 10.154.
Tomorrow's racing includes junior and elite men's sprint qualifying in the morning, with the sprint finals and individual pursuits in the evening.
