Brendan Cole was a member of Waverley Little Aths from the late 80's through to 1996.  He is the son of Life Member Barry Cole.  Judging from the previous Waverley Records that Brendan has held, he has alway liked jumping  LONG or HURDLES !!!

Brendan played many sports including Volleyball, Swimming, Football and Cross Country running, and at 16, played top level Representative Basketball and toured the USA playing against their best at that age !!  At 17, he decided on athletics as his chosen sport, and his career has steadily progressed since then.  In 2000, he ran a World Juniors qualifying time, but missed selection by 0.1 sec  :-(

Brendan has a PB of 20.92 this year (2006) in the 200m , 47.67 in the 400m  and his 400mh times have tumbled from 53.24 in 1999 to his current PB of 49.36 sec !  (which he ran in the Semi Final at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne).

Since 2004, Brendan has been training at the AIS (Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra), and was self funded at this years Com Games !!!  Hopefully, that may change, as he now ranks as one of Australias fastest ever 400mh hurdlers  :-)

Brendan made the Final of the 400mh at the Com Games to finish a fantastic 5th place in a time of 49.41 sec !
