A NEW two-kilometre time trial record and a host of top five all-time finishes marked a successful AFLW Draft Combine period that saw this year’s top draft prospects put to the test. Dandenong Stingrays runner Mikayla Williamson<\/a> blitzed the field in the 2km time trial at the AIA Centre recently, clocking up a record time of seven minutes and nine seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williamson eclipsed the previous shared record between now AFLW talents, Nina Morrison<\/strong> and Tarni Evans<\/strong> (7:14), with the only recorded time to beat Williamson being that of Eliza McNamara<\/strong>‘s Strava app time during the pandemic of 6:59.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williamson was not the only player to finish inside the top five all-time scores, with Stingrays teammate and fellow AFLW Academy member Bianca Lyne<\/a> (7:21) and Tasmanian runner Jasmyn Thompson<\/a> (7:23) recording fourth and fifth all-time finishes. Lions Academy athlete Evie Long<\/a> broke up an otherwise Talent League top eight, recording a time of 7:25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several top five times were cracked in both the 20m sprint and agility test as well. Eastern Ranges duo Laura Stone<\/a> (3.080 seconds) and Georgia Stubs<\/a> (3.122 seconds) clocked up the second and third quickest 20m sprints, with Gippsland Power’s Amber Schutte<\/a> just behind them with 3.125 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From an agility standpoint, East Fremantle over-ager Mylee Leitch<\/a> snuck through in 8.321 seconds, the second fastest ever recorded time behind Zimmorlei Farquharson<\/strong> (8.170 seconds). Williamson (8.328 seconds) was third all-time, with Glenelg SANFLW league best and fairest winner Piper Window<\/a> clocking up 8.450 seconds and being fifth overall, while Swans Academy member Holly Cooper<\/a>‘s 8.491 seconds meant she slotted into sixth of all-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calder Cannons’ Amy Gaylor<\/a> leapt into the history books in both the standing and running vertical jumps, reaching 62cm in the standing and 74cm in the running to be equal third and equal fourth of all-time in those areas. Woodville-West Torrens Eagles star Shineah Goody<\/a> also managed 74cm in the running jump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the other players to regularly feature in the top 10s of multiple tests were Western Jets duo Kristie-Lee Weston-Turner<\/a> and Tamara Henry<\/a>, South Adelaide’s Alissa Brook<\/a>, Claremont’s Ella Slocombe<\/a> and GIANTS Academy member Cleo Buttifant<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
