Notes

Highlights

CRASHING OUT

Was distraught after crashing into the last hurdle during the 100m hurdles final at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. With a 'DSQ' registered against her name after touching the hurdle with her hand, she picked herself up off the track and finished the race but was visibly upset. She was comforted by teammate Fiona Cullen for several minutes, while the winner Brigitte Foster-Hylton went on to celebrate her win with a victory lap. "It didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but that's life - that's what you get when you get to be a hurdler," McLellan said.
