Isobel Batt-Doyle (born 14 September 1995) is an Australian Olympic athlete. [1]
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]

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]
