Juniors 777m

The first final of Day 2 was the juniors 777m and was taken out by Joshua Kah in a race that saw numerous late leader changes. Jonathan Lam raced from the front for much of the race but couldn’t hold his lead to the finish line to be second (1:19.851). Ariff Rasydan Mohamed fell on the final turn but finished third in 1:36.102 after New Zealand’s Lily Taitimu received a penalty.

Lachlan Hay grabbed his first title of the Australian Championships when he won the 1000m in 1:39.533 ahead of Pierre Boda (1:39.555) and Alex Bryant (1:39.895). It was Hay’s first title since 2012 and a strong sign he is back in form. Keanu Blunden showed his acrobatic skills when he almost fell half way through the race. He made the best recovery of the competition to get back upright and close in on the pack to finish fourth.

The Masters 1000m got off to a fast start with Danny Kah taking the lead before handing it over to Herbie Labiche. With 500m to go Scott Weekes made his move and grabbed an unassailable lead to win in 1:53.879. Labiche pushed hard down the last straight but couldn’t quite catch his younger rival, finishing second in 1:53.924. Danny Kah was third in 1:54.129. Tim Davids was fourth.

In the endurance race for juniors, Jonathan Lam lead for much of the first half of the race. With eight laps to go, Josh Kah powered from sixth to first in one move, leaving his competitors in his wake. Kah and Lam went to and fro from the top spot but it was Kah who was in front on the bell lap and kept the lead to win in 2:55.257. Lam was second in 2:55.356 ahead of Jordan Attwood in 2:56.013.

Seniors 3000m

In an eight-man super final of the 3000m, Lachlan Hay was the best performing Aussies, placing second in 5:12.768. At the 18 lap mark and with bonus points on offer, Olympians Pierre Boda and Hay were neck and neck but Boda just snuck ahead of Hay to grab the points. The push for the points hurt Boda however and he dropped off the pace in the second half of the race, eventually finishing fifth. With three laps to go it was a race between Hay and Zachary Biggs but it was the New Zealander who emerged victorious, winning in 5:12.517. Jason Clague was third in 5:14.286.

Masters 3000m

Danny Kah and Herbie Labiche got off to a blistering start in the Masters 3000m – both eyeing the 18 lap bonus points.  Endurance specialist Kah took the points in a tight fight with Labiche. Kah showed no sign of slowing down in the second half of the race and took his first title of the championships. Scott Weekes was second and Michael Attwood was third. Labiche suffered from his early speed and skated through apparent back pain to finish in final position.
