Shane Anthony Naylor (born 3 November 1967) is an Australian former athlete who competed in sprinting events during the 1980s and 1990s.[1][2] Post athletics, he has been involved in powerlifting and is a masters world record holder.[3]

Biography

Naylor grew up in the Victorian town of Tatura near Shepparton and has a younger sister Lee who was also a notable sprinter.[4] He was an under-18 national champion in the 100 metres.[5]

A four-time national 100 metres champion, Naylor won his first title in 1987 as a 19-year old. In 1992 he finished sixth in the final of the IAAF World Cup and only narrowly missed the qualifying standard that year for the Olympics in Barcelona.[6] He represented Australia at two Commonwealth Games, including in 1994 when he claimed a silver medal as part of the 4x100 metres relay team.[7] In 1995 he set his personal best of 10.21 seconds at the national championships in Canberra, which qualified him for the World Championships in Gothenburg later that year.[8]

In February 1997, Naylor joined former AFL player Leon Higgins to play for a Melbourne team in the 1997 Rugby League World Sevens tournament.[9] The Melbourne team failed to win a match.[10]

Naylor's nephew Max Holmes plays in the AFL for Geelong.[citation needed]
