TWELVE months ago Sam Jamieson left Stawell a beaten semi-finalist for the third straight year. He knew something had to change, so a couple of weeks later he made the most important phone call of his life. Even though Jamieson lived in Williamstown, the man he rang was respected Ringwood coach Nick Fiedler. Yesterday the many hours spent battling peak-hour traffic going from one side of Melbourne to the other paid off, with the 21-year-old becoming the 127th winner of Australia's richest footrace. |

Pre-race favourite Sam Jamieson is $40,000 richer after winning the 127th edition of Australia's richest footrace, the Australia Post Stawell Gift. Jamieson, running off a mark of six metres and paying $1.30 with the bookmakers, scored a convincing two-metre victory over the 120m race. The 21-year-old first year exercise science student stopped the clock at 12.09 seconds in a memorable victory. |

Victorian sprinter Sam Jamieson has comfortably won the 127th Stawell Gift this afternoon. Jamieson won clearly from the third marker in the famous handicap race, beating home second placed Richard Hankin and Ben Vickery in third. His winning time of 12.09 seconds saw Jamieson take home the $40,000 first prize. "It's still up there in the clouds at the moment," he said moments after the race. "There is never that 100% belief that you are going to get it until you have it." The 21-year-old Jamieson is registered with the Williamstown amateur athletic club in Melbourne and changed his coach last year. |
