3:40.6 1500m by Aussie 16 year old tonight - Cameron Myers

the little kid who ran 3rd has some go in him too.

Looks about 10 years old

I'm sure multiple time Paralympian and World Record holder Jaryd Clifford will be stoked to hear that he's still got some go about him at the ripe old age of 23.

Current 1500m world leader indoors or out.

If DoB is 9 June 2006 then he's still got 4 months to get age world record for 1500. With Archie Sideridis that'd be 2 under 18 age records by Australian's in the last 6 months!

Send him to Wisconsin already ...

That's an amazing result for such a young runner. Looking forward to seeing more from him in the future.

Wonder if all of AUS is on the special sauce at this point now.

I hadn't heard of this Archie kid...nice run!

Kid looks really, really good. What a future.

This performance was outstanding as his mile in 4:07 in December running 2:13/1:53 gave indications.

There's talented kids popping up everywhere now. There must be many reasons for it but undoubtedly the biggest has to be that they are growing up now with the belief they can be the best in the world.

his time is obviously very impressive but lets be real, jakobs 16 year old record is by far his weakest. 3.48 at 14, 3.42 at 15 and 3.31 at 17. i'm pretty sure if jakob had a real race at 16 he would have run 3.36-37 so this guy is still pretty far off. as said, still very impressive for a 16 year old!

Based on form he could run 3:38 and 7:50 for 15/3k before end of Aussie season which ends with Nationals April 1st.

Same manager as Bol

Is there a difference between manager and coach?

Manager is an Agent. Coach is not usually. Coach/Trainer are interchangeable in most cultures. But is the US Trainer is usually involved with injuries, rehab, etc. Not a coach.

His running form is absolutely outstanding. Very early days but will be exciting to see how he develops!
