Description
Donna Tyberek-MacFarlane is an Australian middle distance and steeplechase runner. She set both an Australian record and her personal best time of 9:18.35, by finishing third in the women's 3000 metres steeplechase at the 2008 IAAF Golden League Meeting in Oslo, Norway.
MacFarlane represented Australia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed in the first ever women's 3000 m steeplechase, along with her teammate Victoria Mitchell. She ran in the third heat against fifteen other athletes, including Kenya's Eunice Jepkorir and Russia's Yekaterina Volkova, who both later won the silver and bronze medals in the final, respectively. She finished the race in ninth place by two seconds behind Lithuania's Rasa Troup, with a time of 9:32.05. MacFarlane, however, failed to advance into the final, as she placed twenty-first overall, and was ranked below four mandatory slots for the next round.
