Taneille Crase (athletics) made her Commonwealth Games debut at Birmingham 2022 where she finished 5th in the women’s heptathlon with a career-high 6026 points. She was just the seventh Australian woman to break through the 6000-point barrier for the event.

Trained by Brisbane 1982 Commonwealth Games gold medallist and Los Angeles 1984 Olympic champion Glynis Nunn, the three-time national champion had set herself the goal of making Birmingham 2022 after returning to the sport in October 2020 following eight months out due to injury. In 2023, she moved to Germany to train in an unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games before announcing her retirement.

Taneille has a Bachelor of Education from Griffith University. She is also an Accredited Level 3 Performance Development coach with Athletics Australia and an ambassador for Little Athletics Australia where she has been involved as a coach, team manager and development officer.
