Natasha’s personal best of 11.9s for the 100m remains the squad’s fastest time by a Woman. Natasha ran 12.06s in the Open 100m at the 1997 Arafura Games, winning a bronze medal behind Nova Peris (Australia) and Hoang Thi Lan Anh (Vietnam). Natasha won the Gold medal in the Open Women 4x100m at the same Championship. Natasha holds the Northern Territory Athletics record along with teammate Nova Peris in the Women’s 4x100m Relay, also set at Nationals in 1997. The squad was excited to invite Natasha (Tash) back into the group in 2018 as a Masters Athlete after she had spent a number of years away from the sport, successfully running her own business.
