He was competing in the under 18s event... at 15 YEARS OLD 😲 And he obliterated the record... remember the name 👏
Darren Clark, Paul Greene, and Zane Branco had held the Australian under 18s record jointly before Saturday.
They were all at least a year older than Gout was when they ran the time. Gout only turned 15 in December. Queensland teenager Gout Gout broke the 200m record at the Australian Junior Athletics Championships. "I was really nervous. The gun went, and I was good and I just kept pushing."This season has been mind blowing for me. Last year I came fourth and sixth at nationals, and then I came out at All Schools and won. I was really motivated because I took last year personally, it always feels better when you are winning.
Gout also holds the Australian records at under 16s level in the 100m and 200m. His under 16s 200m record is 21.14 seconds.The under 18s 100m record is 10.25s, run by Sebastian Sultana last year.For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by
