As a totally biased SKAAC writer, I found myself in awe of what Luke Mathews achieved at about 5:40am Melbourne time this morning, becoming SKAAC’s first ever Heat Winner in a World Championships beating a HIGH quality field in running 3:38.19 to win Heat 3.
Getting a great start, and settling 4th, Luke put himself in a great position to strike when the inevitable burst came from behind. When that burst came, Luke was not only able to move forward into 3rd spot with 200 to run, but hold his rail position and surge to the line for a famous win and a super confidence lift ahead of the semi-final on Saturday.
Luke, you have done yourself, your family and your club proud today. Rest up and take ’em down in the semi!!
