As we’ve entered 2019, and about to resume our regularly scheduled programming back at the Dome next week, we thought it best to take one final look at 2018 by the numbers. Using the IAAF Scoring Tables of Athletics for both indoors and outdoors, we have ranked the Top-25 performances of the past twelve months.
For the second year in a row, Tim Nedow and Adam Palamar go 1-2 on the men’s side. While they had equal points a year ago, Nedow’s outdoor best of 21.02m in the shot raised him to the top of the class, nearly 100 points clear of Palamar. To put Nedow’s 1182 points into perspective, the IAAF equates it to running 10.07 in the 100m, 3:51.49 in the mile and leaping out to 8.20m in the long jump.
While Melissa Bishop sat out the 2018 season to give birth to her daughter Corinne, hurdlers Keira Christie-Galloway and Farah Jacques ran to replace her for the top performance of the year. The pair each ran 13.31 seconds over the 100m hurdles to score 1108 points. Christie-Galloway’s time set a new national junior standard in the event, eclipsing a 36 year old mark set by Karen Nelson while Jacques performance was the culmination of an excellent first season hurdling from the Olympic relay finalist.
As was done for 2017, athletes could only be listed once per event, but were able to appear across multiple events. Also, events run at the Louis-Riel Dome were scored using the outdoor tables.
