Hull bounces back for surprise second, 'perfect race' not enough for Myers
Jess Hull surprises with second in the 5,000m and Cam Myers finishes just behind Josh Kerr again, but both Australian stars are left happy with their efforts at the Ultimate Championship in Budapest.
Cameron Myers and Jessica Hull secured second place in the inaugural Ultimate Championship athletics meet in Budapest, with Hull also achieving a personal best. Hull bounced back from a weak performance in the 1,500m, while Myers finished behind Commonwealth Games champion Josh Kerr in the 1,500m. Despite their second-place finishes, both athletes were awarded $75,000 for their efforts.
The Australian team went undefeated in the three-day event. Myers expressed pride in running a "perfect race" despite not winning the 1,500m, while Hull credited her comeback to her ability to bounce back after difficult performances.
