Diamond League, 36th Herculis EBS, Stade Louis II Monaco, 21 July: Geordie Beamish 3000m steeplechase, 8:13.26 (5) PB, New Zealand and Oceania Record, breaking 1984 Los Angeles Olympian Peter Renner’s record of 8:14.05 set in Koblenz, Germany on 29 August 1984. It is also under the qualifying standard of 8:15.00 for the 2023 World Athletics Championships and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

It is the fifth New Zealand record the Colorado-based 26-year-old has set in the last two years. A prodigy of Alec McNab in Whanganui, Beamish has only competed in the senior steeplechase six times, starting this year in April with a time of 8:42.56 and he has improved his PB at each outing. He has yet to win a New Zealand senior title, having finished third in the 3000m and mile in 2021.
