Queenslanders might have Gout Gout, but we have O’brien… “Oo…Ooo… Ooo… O’brien!”

But in all seriousness is Aussie athletics having a moment?

    It’s hard to say whether we are having a moment, or if we are paying extra attention. Another name to keep an eye on: Luke Webber. He’s only 13/14, but has taken out the 200m and 400m state records as well as taking out the 100m final (just didn’t break the record doing it).

    They don’t do Nationals at his age, so he went and ran against kids a year older. Still won.

      Hmm, i keep an eye out. Should be easy-ish to remember the name, i immediately associated him with Mark Webber.

      Both speedy - different tracks.
