Isobel Batt-Doyle (born 14 September 1995) is an Australian Olympic athlete.^[2]

Early years

Batt-Doyle came from a family of runners. Her parents ran marathons, trail races and ultra running. When she was 8-years-old she started little athletics. A year later she ran in the Adelaide City Bay Fun Run. She ran the six kilometres holding her step dad's hand. Batt-Doyle regularly made the state team for cross country and then began track events when still an early teen.^[3]

After graduating from Seymour College in Adelaide, Batt-Doyle accepted a US college scholarship for running and went to St. John's University in New York.^[4] She transferred to University of Washington in Seattle for her second year. In 2016 and 2017, she decided to run longer distances and competed in 5000m and 10000m events.^[3]

Achievements

Batt-Doyle made her debut for Australia at the 2017 World University Games in the 10,000m.^[3]

In 2019, she was the NCAA outdoor 10,000m bronze medalist and made the All-America First Team. She also made the All-America Second Team in the 5000m indoors.^[5]

In 2020, her boyfriend Riley Cocks took over her coaching. She ran significant personal bests over 3000m and 5000m. The highlight was coming second in the 10,000m at Zatopek in 31:43.26. It was a 37 seconds PB and elevated her from 21st to 10th on the Australian all-time list.^[3] (Zatopek is named after Emil Zatopek, the Czech long-distance runner, it is the most prestigious track race in Australia).^[6]

In January 2021, she finished second behind Rose Davies at the Australian 10,000m Championships in Melbourne.^[7] In May that year, she and Davies secured places in the 5000m at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics as Batt-Doyle won in Nijmegen in a personal best time of 15 minutes 04.10 beating Uganda's Esther Chebet into second with Davies fourth.^[8] In the event's heat of the Tokyo Games, Batt-Doyle ran a time of 15:21.65 coming 15th and was therefore eliminated.^[9]

On 31 December 2022, she set a world female parkrun best mark of 15:25 at the Aldinga Beach event in Adelaide.^[10] She held the record until 23 December 2023, when it was beaten by Ciara Mageean.^[11]

On 5 February 2023, Batt-Doyle ran 1:09.27 at the Marugame half marathon in Japan, a new personal best for the distance.^[12]

She was one of six Australian women to meet the marathon qualifying standard for the 2024 Paris Olympics, however with only three spots available she was not selected for the team.^[13] On 19 June 2024, she lowered her 5000 metres personal best to 14:49.75 in Liege, Belgium.^[14] She competed in the 5000 metres at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris in August 2024.^[15]
