Aussie athletes continue top form with trio of medals at Diamond League

Australian athletes continued their impressive Commonwealth Games form with three medals at the Diamond League meet in Poland. Sprinter Lachlan Kennedy was disappointed after failing to qualify for the 100m final, despite setting an Australian record at the Scottish event. Commonwealth champions Eleanor Patterson and Rose Davies have maintained their Glasgow triumphs, while Jessica Hull ran her fastest race of the year to finish second in the 1,500m.

Patterson secured third place in the high jump, Davies claimed bronze in the 5,000m, and Hull finished second in the 1,500m. Kennedy's lack of a 100m final appearance was the only disappointment, with Olympic silver medallist Hull impressed by her recent progress and looking forward to the inaugural Ultimate Championship in Budapest on September 11.
