The first day of the 2007 Australian Championships got underway Friday night and Fiona competed in the heats of the 100m. She qualified 3rd fastest with a 11.86s into a head wind of -1.9 a good run thanks to a good start.
On Saturday night Fiona contested the Semi Final and Final of the 100m Sprint placing 3rd in the Semi Final in a time of 11.51s and 4th in the Final but third Australian thus securing a Bronze medal in a time of 11.59s.
A gutsy run from Lane 9 and a very pleasing result.
Sunday saw the Final of the 100m Hurdles (Fiona’s pet event) unfold with great drama and fanfair. Fiona finished second behind favourite Sally McLellan in a season’s best time of 13.23s.
McLellan won in a new Australian Record time of 12.92s
