Day two of the Chemist Warehouse Australian All Schools Athletics Championships saw Queensland’s Gout Gout make history, smashing Peter Norman’s 56-year-old 200m record with a stunning 20.04-second sprint. The 17-year-old’s performance not only surpassed Norman’s iconic 20.06 from the 1968 Olympics but also placed him second on the all-time global list for under 18 athletes, ahead of Usain Bolt. Amaya Mearns (QLD) also shined, claiming the Under 17 Girls’ 200m title in 23.15, becoming the second-fastest Australian Under 18 athlete ever.
