Roy Overend coached Ian Murdoch was the star performer, heading the 1500m rankings with a time of 3mins 45.5secs and the mile with a time of 4mins 03.9secs, the first Law athlete to have this honour since Ian McCafferty since the early '70s. He was also ranked 14th in the 800m and 16th in the 5000m. During the season he won the National Title over 1500m and represented his country in a number of International matches. Also coached by Roy Overend, Tony Cunnigham made a fairly successful transition to the Senior ranks, finishing in the top 35 in the 100m, 200m and 400m. The only other Senior to make the rankings was Graeme Ferguson, finishing 16th in the Shot Putt and 29th in the Discus, also picking up another two District medals to add to his collection Other than Melanie Clyde who finished 8th in the Under 15s Long Jump everyone else was a debutant.
