In Aussie track news Rohan Browning ran a 9.96w 100m in a local meet in NSW. The wind was 3.3 but it was only his second 100m of the season so it will be interesting to see what he can do. Along with Jack Hale he's the fastest Australian sprinter atm.

The 100 yards doesn't get run much but Jack Hale broke a 55 year record and ran the 100 yards in 9.43 seconds. Apparently a 9.4 100 yard is about equivalent to a 10.2 100m.
