  • Colby Eddowes I am writing to disclose a conflict of interest, as I am Colby Eddowes. I am currently ranked 4th all-time in Australian history in the 110m hurdles and 5th all-time for the 60m hurdles and 2nd for the indoor heptathlon. I am also a 2-time NCAA All-American in the decathlon & heptathlon for Arkansas State Athletics, where I set multiple school and conference records and became one of the most decorated and dominant athletes in ASTATE track history. I have represented Australia at the 2019 Oceania Championships, selected for the 2021 Australian World U20 Championship team (wasn't sent due to COVID), the 2021 World University Games (held in 2023), and the 2025 World University Games, where in the most recent edition, I became the fastest and highest-placed men's sprint hurdler in the games’ history for Australia. I am also one of the only athletes in the Australian top 10 without a dedicated biographical article, and due to my conflict of interest, I can not create the page myself. However, if an independent editor is looking for a notable sports project, my career has been covered by many reliable sources. including: (World Athletics Profile, TFRRS Profile, Track Athletes AU Profile, Personal Instagram, ASTATE Athletics Profile)
