Isobel Batt-Doyle (born 14 September 1995) is an Australian Olympic athlete.[1] Batt-Doyle qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
In her Women's 5000m heat she ran a time of 15:21.65 coming 15th. She was therefore eliminated.[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 a junior college in New York. 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 10000m.[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 5,000m indoors.[4]
In 2020 her boyfriend Riley Cocks took over her coaching.. She ran significant PBs over 3000m and 5000m. The highlight was coming second in the 10000m 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).[5]
In January 2021 she finished second behind Rose Davies at the Australian 10,000m championships in Melbourne.[6] In May 2021 she and Davies secured places at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the 5000m 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 4th.[7]
