            Loved watching Sam Tanner cheering him on from the final bend and down the home straight.

              Pretty amazing for a kid who only took up running 2 years ago (his family wanted him to try lots of other sports before concentrating on running) although his running genes are pretty finely tuned

                            Be great for nz to have another great middle distance runner , been a while between drinks

                            Aussies seem to have a serious young sprinter on their hands with gout gout

                              I'm sure this guy and Sam Ruthe will be leading the pack in the future.

                                The difference in his technique compared to those racing for second is stark: His drive out of the blocks and his high knee lift are chalk and cheese.

                                  There is a bit of the Usain Bolt in the way that he eats up the ground.

                                    Very much. Long stride and efficient power generation. Looks like he's floating in the maintenance phase.

                                        Sam Ruthe ran a PB 1500 last night running in an open men's race in OZ last night. Lachlan Kennedy beat Gout in the 200m. Kennedy played age grade rep rugby in Queensland.

                                          Some great racing

                                          The 1500m saw an epic effort from Cam Myers, with a bit of disdain for the pacer along the way…

                                          The 200m was great too, took a big PB to beat GG, great for Kennedy, and will only inspire both to kick on
