AN ALL-TIME 20m sprint record at a Rookie Me sanctioned event from Sandringham Dragons speedster Luella Hall<\/strong> headlined a massive Talent League Girls Preseason Testing Day earlier this month. Hall blitzed the clock with a time of 3.065 seconds to clock almost 0.7 seconds faster than any other athlete, including a host of known speedsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

>> SCROLL for the Top 5 in each test<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hall’s performance was not the only impressive result of the day, with Greater Western Victoria (GWV) tall Lucy Fraser<\/a> leaping into second place overall with scores of 79 and 69cm in the running and standing vertical jumps respectively. Murray Bushrangers’ Nakiyah Fraser<\/a> also impressed in both the running vertical jump (76cm) and agility test (8.26 seconds) to finish second and first in those events on the day, and six overall in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gut-running performance of Northern Knights’ Matilda Johnson<\/a> (18.03 level) in the yoyo test was the fourth best of all-time. The three runners-up in Bendigo Pioneers’ Lacey Nihill<\/a>, Gippsland Power’s Amy Boote<\/strong> and Oakleigh Chargers’ Molly Phillips<\/a> recorded a score of 17.08 and it was enough to be equal 10th in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While not winning any of the tests, former Bushrangers utility turned Oakleigh ball-winner Sophia Green<\/a> notched up a testing day-high Physical Performance Rating (PPR) of 92.2, just clear of Fraser and Abbey Ibrahim<\/a> (90.6). Eastern Ranges’ Mackenzie Ackland<\/a>, Northern Knights’ Maddison Meagher<\/a> and Murray Bushrangers’ Eliza Roche<\/a> were others to notch up multiple top five results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
