Tate Taylor, an 18-year-old sprint prodigy from San Antonio, delivered a statement run at the world athletics under-20 championships.
Injured, disillusioned and on the verge of walking away, Aidan Murphy gave himself one more year to finally make sprinting work out for him.
Patrick Johnson had a big smile on his face as he watched the young gun break the record he set as Australia’s first man under 10 seconds 23 years ago.
