It was a record-breaking day in Thornbury, with Calder Cannons midfielder Amy Gaylor<\/a> setting a new benchmark in the standing vertical jump (61cm). The AFLW Academy member also topped the running vertical leap with GWV Rebels winger Jessica Rentsch<\/a>, as both athletes soared to 73cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another top-age AFLW Draft prospect to impress was Dandenong Stingrays standout Mikayla Williamson<\/a>. The tall outside runner clocked in the second-best agility test time, while also achieving top 10 finishes in the standing vertical jump and yo-yo test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The speed of the draft class was showcased as another two AFLW Academy members – Kristie-Lee Weston-Turner<\/a> and Laura Stone<\/a> – featured in the top 10 of the 20m sprint. Oakleigh’s Marlo Cockerill<\/strong> notched the quickest time (3.151 seconds), eclipsing the former Victorian record set by Amber Clarke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, records were equalled in the yo-yo test. First place finishers Sarah Poustie<\/a> (Oakleigh Chargers) and Nikita Harris <\/strong>(Dandenong Stingrays) both bowed out on level 17.08, matching the feat of Essendon draftee Mia Busch last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
