Australia’s sprinting revival has gone up a gear at this year’s national athletics championships in Perth after another record more than half a century old was broken.
West Australian teenager Leah O’Brien won the under-18s girls 100m on Tuesday in a time of 11.14s, eclipsing Raelene Boyle’s record in the junior age bracket that was set at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico and had stood for 57 years by six hundredths of a second.
