2026 Track Results

Aidan Murphy of Australia runs 20.05 (0.6w) today at the Oceania Athletics Championships.

that's twice he's gone past Peter Norman's recently - and straight after heats and final of the 400m with his 44.44. He's blossomed this season and his 6'5" height doesn't seem to work agsinst him (maybe in the 100m but I bet he breaks his 10.23 pb soon).
Points wise over 100,200,400 he is now our best ever oversll sprinter

Lachlan got 6th place in China today at 10.06. I hope he is not coming off of his peak for this season.

Your head can be past the starting line but not your fingers. Your body weight is on your fingers mostly and you are what we call in sprint coaching "rocked and locked" so your head is naturally past your line of balance otherwise you are weighted back into your blocks. Your legs and feet act as springs to launch you out of the blocks, pressing the balls of your feet into the blocks then pushing off while your arms/fingers balance your forward lean.

Thanks, sprintstar. I appreciate the information.

Mastermulti, I just read an article about Murphy. His mother is Tania Van Heer, the great sprinter who ran for Australia.

Lachlan got 6th place in China today at 10.06. I hope he is not coming off of his peak for this season.

I'm not worried as I believe I know what is going on. FIrst off he ran 10.01 and 10.06 in the last 7 days. Not the end of the world and
especially for the first time racing in China against a high level caliber of sprinters. His coach is easing him off his peak from a month
ago on purpose. Why do you ask? Because he knows Lachie will have to hit another peak for the Commonwealth Games in July. This
is a huge international meet that only happens every several years. I expect Lachlan Kennedy to be back in peak form when in runs
in Oregon and we just may see another personal best time there. If not there then at the Commonwealth Games the Australian All Time
100 Meters Record of Patrick Johnson will be broken by Kennedy. I would bet on it in Las Vegas if I could.

Remember Australian Sprinters have to peak twice to run in the normal summer season. Not an easy thing to do. Kennedy will shine
when it's prime time.
