Neil King Carnival Sprint WInners
At each AFL Masters National Carnival, there is a sprint competition for each age group. Over 100m for the 35s and 75m for the other age groups. Here are the winners from over the years. Graham Harris from South Australia has won the sprint title a record 8 times, remarkably all within a nine year period between 2003-2011. In 2022 the Carnival Sprint was renamed the Neil King Carnival Sprint in honour of Neil’s longstanding contribution to AFL Masters as National General Manager whilst also recognising his steeped history in sprinting, particularly the Stawell Gift.
