I feel sorry for Laura Whaler. She definitely deserves to be in the CG team when you consider she has run a B qualifier and won medals at the nationals.
Others such as Ntiamoah (4x100) & Moore (4x400) haven’t run any qualifiers nor won a medal. They’ve basically been able to get in on the coat tails of others.
The women’s 4 x 100m at the CG has been so lacking in depth that in the past it has been a straight out final and a time in the low 44’s wins a medal. It might have heats this year but the Aussies could throw in hurdlers Lauren Boden and Hayley Butler in the heat and still qualify for the final.
There’s still six months and surely girls like Jacinta Boyd or Charlotte VanVeenedal could be added to a team that includes Breen, McLellan (final only), Whaler & Henry. This team is probably stronger than the team that won bronze in 2006.
Seems short sighted.
