Lachlan Kennedy walks on the track now, any track, and thinks: “I can break 10 seconds”. The Australian 100-metre sprinter, who last week won silver in the 60m at the world indoor championships, has the confidence that he belongs among the world’s best – and that it is only a matter of time before the gets “the time”. He believes he can break the 10-second barrier this weekend in Melbourne at the Maurie Plant Meet. While indoors running and the 60m distance are rarities in Australia, Kennedy was up against a world-class field last weekend. He missed gold by just 0.01s when he ran 6.50s, but still beat South Africa’s Akani Simbine, who took bronze. Simbine was fifth in the Rio Olympics 100m final.
