The Australian Standard Duathlon Championships took place in Canberra on Saturday, with enthusiastic athletes gearing up for the final leg of the 2022/2023 Australian Championships season.
The event held significant importance as it served as a world qualifying event for athletes aspiring to represent Team Australia in the upcoming 2024 Multisport World Championships to be held in Townsville. Participants had the chance to earn an Australian title, double selection points, and automatic qualification for eligible Age Groupers who secured a top-five position in their age group category.
Arron Nitschke (20-24) was first to cross the line in the men’s category followed by Stephen MacMillan (40-44) and Sam Marshall (30-34) who all secured Australian Championship medals in their respective age groups.
