The event kicked off on Friday evening with a State Record in the opening race of the weekend, as Pembroke Athletics Club Race Walker Olivia Sandery broke the Women's U20 5000m Walk State Record to claim the Open Women's Gold Medal in 21:49.41.

The 19-year-old - who has recently been named in the Australian team that will next month travel to the World Athletics Race Walking Championships in Oman - returned on Sunday to win the Open Women's 10,000m Walk in 52:36.77.

Pembroke's Lakara Stallan, 19, finished third in each of the Open Women's 100m (12.06) and 200m (24.33) races, but also ran a World Athletics U20 Championships qualifier in the 200m.

One of the greatest upsets of the weekend came in the Open Women's 400m race as 15-year-old Pembroke athlete Charlotte McAuliffe came storming home in the last 100m to win the State Title in a PB 56.14, running past Tokyo Olympian Kendra Hubbard (56.37) and 12-year-old Western Athletics Club runner Iluka-Rose Taylor, who finished third in 56.65.

"That was such a good experience, coming down the last straight I felt really good and just kept going for it," McAuliffe said.

"I did not expect to do as well as I did - I would have been really happy to get third.

"I registered in the Open race to see what I could do, run a PB and run against girls who are faster than me to push me along.

"I was so nervous to run against Kendra because I know how fast she is, but I knew she would push me."

Port Adelaide teenager Jessica McManus took it right up to an experienced Open Women's 800m field, and won the Title in 2:13.15, ahead of Annabel Kitto (Adelaide Harriers, 2:14.28) and Brooke Hines (Saints, 2:15.29).

Open Men

As Sandery launched the event with a State Record, it was only fitting for it to end on the same note.

In the final track event of the weekend, Saints Athletics Club sprinter Aidan Murphy ran 20.41 to smash the long-standing Open Men's 200m State Record, previously set in 1980 by Bruce Frayne (20.59).

Murphy's time also beat the Men's U20 National Record of 20.48, set by 1984 Olympian Fred Martin in 1985.

“Fred Martin’s time of 20.48 is great, I feel privileged to be able to beat it because he is a great runner,” Murphy said. 

“It is great to get that time over and done with – I have been looking at that for a long time and to do it here at the State Champs means a lot to me."

Murphy, 18, won the Open Men's 200m State Title ahead of Victoria's Michael Romanin (21.13) and Pembroke's Duncan Cameron (21.33), in a strong field that included four Victorians and four SA runners. 

“It was a really strong field, a big shout out to the Victorian boys for coming over to SA and they made it such a good race," Murphy said. 

“I got one of the best starts that I have ever had, I wish I could have that every race – that’s really what it (the record) came down to because I was able to finish off strong like I usually do."
