This page summarises various major competitions conducted throughout the year which aren't reviewed individually elsewhere on this website.   Zatopek Classic, Melbourne, 13 December 2007 Both Melinda Vernon (in the 10,000m) and Hollie Emery (in the 3000m) of BMAC were in action last night at the prestigious Zatopek Classic at Olympic Park, Melbourne. It is with a great deal of pleasure that I would like to inform you that Melinda became the Australian 10,000m champion with a 34.29 performance. Melinda beat out second placed Josie Carberry of Victoria with a stunning piece of front running. Melinda also claimed victory over Lisa Dick and Greta Truscott. In the first event of the night, the 3000m, Hollie recorded a seventh placed performance with a 9.51 effort. This was a good effort in what were challenging warm, humid and windy conditions. Hollie was able to beat out both Jess Gilfillan and Courtney Gilfillan of Queensland in a race won by Lara Tamsett in 9.28. Well done ladies.
