Sprint sensation Gout Gout smashes Noah Lyles’ personal best time for 400m

Teenager runs fastest time by U18 Australian for 35 years
17-year-old clocks 46.20 seconds in rare one-lap outing

Just days after warning Noah Lyles he was coming for the world and Olympic champion, teenage sprint sensation Gout Gout has achieved a mark that has eluded the US track star.

In a rare outing over 400m at the Joanna Stone Shield meet in Brisbane on Saturday, Gout clocked 46.20s, almost a second under Lyles’ personal best for the distance and the fastest under-18 time by an Australian for 35 years.
