Isobel Batt-Doyle (born 14 September 1995) is an Australian Olympic athlete.[1]
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.[2]
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.[3] 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.[2]
Achievements
Batt-Doyle made her debut for Australia at the 2017 World University Games in the 10,000m.[2]
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.[4]
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.[2] (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 fourth.[7]
In the women's 5000m heat of the Tokyo Games, Batt-Doyle ran a time of 15:21.65 coming 15th. She was therefore eliminated.[8]
On 31 December 2022, she set a world female parkrun best mark of 15:25 at the Aldinga Beach event in Adelaide.[9]
