10.08 100m for Browning.
"Two more Aussies ran PBs, in third place Jack Hale, for the second week in a row, took 0.01 off his 100m PB, clocking 10.19 and in fifth, local Alex Hartmann ran 10.27 (0.02 from his PB). Jake Doran, with 10.32 (his third fastest ever time) rounded out a terrific 100m for the Aussies".

I used to be watching athletics programs, all the diamond league, but now more focus is on training and just wasting time on internet I am way behind on athletics news.

But Jamaica's hopes for reigning the 100m/200m is fading.

Yeah hopefully we can get another sub 10 sprinter soon. Rohan Browning is 21 (10.08 PB), Trae Williams is 21 (10.10 PB) and Jack Hale is 19 (10.19 PB). Josh Clarke is 23 and has a 10.15 PB but the last couple of years he has been cut down by hamstring injuries.

That's a blow to the relay team, but I think it's a good decision for him. He took the classic post-PR backwards step and there's a few other sprinters in his tier now. It shows how limited a career in athletics is even when you're running 10.10. It's either: commit fully for 8-10 years to hit absolute peak in late twenties (while hopefully avoiding injury), or quit while ahead and still young enough to re-train in a different sport.

500k to play rugby 7's for 2 years versus limited money to fund yourself in athletics. It makes sense financially. It will be interesting to see how his speed translates to rugby. He should do well since 7's has tonnes of open space and endurance wise he'll have world class support to meet the criteria.
