A little bit of background heading into North Regionals on Thursday 🏃🏾♂️
Mikeire will line up in the Boys 13 100m, with his current PB sitting at 11.94, run at ALAC earlier this year.
Looking back through some of the ACT results, it was interesting to see just how close some of the times are. The North Region Boys 13 record is 11.79, set by Josh Phongkhan in 2019, while School Sport ACT currently lists Sioeli Hifo’s 11.54 from 2024 as the ACT Championship record, with that performance recorded in a +2.3 m/s tailwind. Prior to Hifo, Maxwell Berry’s 11.99 from 2019 was the listed Championship record — just 0.05 slower than Mikeire’s current 11.94 PB.
Another familiar ACT name is Joshua Lobo, who ran 11.86 as an U13 at the ACT Little Athletics Championships in 2021. Both Joshua (former) and Mikeire (present) have represented Corroboree Little Athletics.
Little Athletics and School Sport use different competition and record systems, so Joshua’s time isn’t part of the School Sport records above, but it’s a nice bit of ACT and Corroboree sprinting history to look back on. 💙💛💪🏽
Mikeire’s 11.94 wasn’t run within the School Sport ACT pathway either, so it doesn’t count towards those records, but it simply gives us a bit of an indication of where he currently sits heading into Thursday.
After a quieter couple of weeks while undergoing some medical checks, Mikeire has now received the all-clear, which is the most important thing. There are no big expectations heading into Thursday — it’ll just be good to see him healthy, back on the track, enjoying himself and seeing where he’s at. 🏃🏾♂️💨💙💛
