He’s the fastest man in Australia, but you probably haven’t heard of him
@Source: theage.com.au
The 60m is a bit of a weird distance in Australia, but is commonly run in Europe – and more importantly is the distance Kennedy will run in a fortnight at the world indoor championships.
On the Australia Day weekend this year, Kennedy broke the national and Oceania records for the 60m when he ran 6.43 seconds.
He also backed up that record run when he ran a 100m in 10.03s in Perth. That puts him alongside Matt Shirvington as the third-quickest Australian 100m sprinter ever. Only Rohan Browning, who ran 10.01s at the Tokyo Olympics, and Patrick Johnson with 9.93s in 2003, are quicker.
Kennedy is only 21. Compared to Gout that makes him seem like a late developer, but compared to every other regular sprinter, he’s actually bang on track. He trains in the group under Andrew Iselin in Queensland that included Torrie Lewis until she went to train with Femke Bol in the Netherlands, and Calab Law, who won bronze in the 200m at the 2022 world under-20 championships.
