Twelve SA athletes travelled over to NSW to compete at the 2022 Chemist Warehouse Sydney Track Classic on Saturday. 

Western Athletics Club vaulters Courtney Smallacombe, Jamie Scroop and Maddie Lawson made it an all-SA podium in the Open Women's Pole Vault, with Smallacombe winning the competition with a clearance of 4.15m.

She won on count-back after Scroop also cleared 4.15m, while Lawson finished third with 4.05m.

Smallacombe also won the Chemist Warehouse Adelaide Invitational Open Women's Pole Vault competition in February, and said she was pleased to be able to perform well at high-performance meets. 

"I am really happy," she said. 

"My technique is coming together at the right time of year.

"There is a big difference between performing at an Interclub and at a meet such as Sydney Track Classic and Adelaide Invitational where there is that extra pressure - I feel like the pressure helps me and the adrenalin kicks in, and I hope that helps me at the National Championships.

"To have an all-SA podium is exciting and shows that we will all be pretty competitive at Nationals."

Smallacombe is now turning her attention to the Australian Track and Field Championships, where she is aiming for a podium finish. 

2021 Open Men's National Pole Vault Champion, SA's Jack Downey, finished third in the Men's Pole Vault on Saturday night, clearing 4.95m, while Tea Tree Gully teenager Marley Raikiwasa also finished third in the Open Women's Discus, throwing 50.21m.

Saints teenager Darcy Miller finished second in the Open Men's Discus with 56.38m, behind Tokyo Olympian Matthew Denny (64.64m).

On the track, SA's Isaac Heyne clocked 7:48.86 to run fifth in the Open Men's 3000m National Championship race, finishing ahead of SA's Matthew Clark, who ran 7:49.20.

Heyne's run was just .12 off the Open Men's State 3000m Record, which was set by David Fitzsimons (7:48.74) in 1978.

In the Open Women's 3000m National Championships, Hills Districts' Jessica Pascoe managed 9:27.70 as the sole-SA runner.  

SA's Harry May finished third in the Men's 800m B Race with 1:49.85, ahead of Degras Amekata (1:51.21).
