Besanko was a junior nationals hurdles champion and competed in many athletics events before joining Essendon.[1] In the Australian Track & Field Championships, his best performances included a second-place finish in the 100 metres in 1976-77 and four successive top three finishes in the 200m, finishing second in 1978-79.[1] He was also a member of the Victorian team that won the 4 x 100 metres relay final in 1977-78, along with Fred Lehmann, Peter Van Miltenburg and Colin McQueen.[1] Internationally, Besanko represented Oceania at the 1977 IAAF World Cup in West Germany and the 1979 IAAF World Cup in Canada.[1] At both World Cups he was a finalist in the 4 x 100 metres relays, placing seventh each time.[1] His best individual performance at a World Cup came in 1979, when he made the 200 metres final and finished eighth.[1][2] During this time, Besanko also played Under 19s and reserves football for Melbourne. Not surprisingly given his speed, Besanko was a wingman. He made three appearances for Essendon, all in the 1980 VFL season.[3] His elder brother Neil Besanko also played for the club.[4] In 1983 he captain-coached Dingley but returned to Essendon the following year, to join their coaching staff.[5] He was off again in 1986, to coach Rye, a position he held for two years.[5] He then went to St Kilda, where he was a fitness adviser.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|url=http://www.athletics.com.au/history/athletes/athlete849.htm |title=Barry Besanko (Vic) Male b. 15 Aug 1956 |publisher=Athletics Australia |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120712102538/http://www.athletics.com.au/history/athletes/athlete849.htm |archivedate=12 July 2012 |df=dmy }} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Besanko, Barry}}2. ^Lewiston Morning Tribune, "Track", 27 August 1979, p. 12 3. ^AFL Tables: Barry Besanko 4. ^{{cite book|last=Holmesby|first=Russell|last2=Main|first2=Jim|title=The Encyclopedia Of AFL Footballers| publisher=BAS Publishing|year=2007|isbn=9781920910785}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.essendonfc.com.au/team/player-past.asp?id=68 |title=Besanko, Barry D, |publisher=Essendon Football Club official website |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120424124253/http://www.essendonfc.com.au/team/player-past.asp?id=68 |archivedate=24 April 2012 }} 5 : 1956 births|Australian rules footballers from Victoria (Australia)|Essendon Football Club players|Australian male sprinters|Living people |
