>> SCROLL for all top 10 results
Arguably the top tester across the weekend was East Perth’s Jacob Eddington. The over-ager, who hasn’t played a Colts game in the last two seasons, notched the best running vertical jump (95cm) to go with third place in the standing jump (77cm), and eighth in the 20-metre sprint (2.894 seconds).
Speedsters Rydn Rae-Anthonysz and Riaz Mohammad were among the potential state representatives to achieve dual top 10 finishes. The former placed second in the 20-metre sprint (2.879 seconds), while the latter rounded out the podium with a rapid time of 2.880 seconds.
Swan Districts over-ager Ned Reiger stopped the clock quickest at 2.868 seconds to go with an equal-ninth placing in the running vertical jump (88cm). Other impressive efforts came from Tylah Williams and Hudson Walker, who join fellow top-agers Rae-Anthonysz and Mohammad in the state program.
Williams notched the second-fastest agility test time (7.865 seconds) and placed fifth in the 20-metre sprint (2.887 seconds) to showcase his turn of speed. Walker was one of eight players to finish the yo-yo test at level 21.03, to go with his 89cm running jump – good enough for equal-fourth.
