WESTERN Australia’s speedsters showed out at the recent preseason testing combine, with state squad member Finlay Yeo<\/a> setting a new AFL agility test record. The East Fremantle and Dockers Next Generation Academy (NGA) member stopped the clock at 7.642 seconds to break new ground ahead of his top-age season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeo was among the several state 18s prospects to shine in Perth. West Perth bottom-ager Campbell Creyk<\/a> set the fastest 20m sprint time with an effort of 2.864 seconds, while fellow 2009-born stars Rafe Williamson<\/a> and Hunter Hearn<\/a> joined Yeo on the podium of the agility test scores at under eight seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, Swan Districts midfielder Leo Steed<\/a> was among the five players to end the yo-yo test at level 21.2. That event was taken out by Subiaco’s Samuel O’Brien<\/a>. West Perth over-ager Banjo Fitch<\/a> excelled with top-five results across three different tests, including dual podium finishes to be the day’s standout athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adrian Carles<\/a> was another prospect to fare well across multiple tests, featuring in the top fives for both the standing and running vertical jumps. Brady Hicks<\/a> topped the standing leaps at 81cm, while Kiedis Solberg<\/a> soared 91cm to record the best running jump. He stood alone ahead of four players to reach 90cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
