Was at the Victorian Primary School state finals last Monday and watched a young girl run 2 state records a 2min26 sec 800m earlier in the day and then about 3hours later produced a stunning 4min55.68 in the 1500m breaking the record by just over 20seconds. I was happy with the perfromance of the girl that I have been helping who ran 4th in 5min33.86. I doubt there have been many 10yr olds faster anywhere in the world???
