John Gikas
"Though his short career in athletics, John Gikas (UNSW) has shown glimces of brilliance. In 2016 aged 17, he clocked a 10.37 100m with an illegal wind of just 2.4m/s. In January 2018 he ran 20.43 for 200m again with an illegal wind of 3.1m/s, but he did defeat Olympian Alex Hartmann. Gikas’ time was the fastest junior time (all wind conditions) ever was also the fastest by a senior athlete for 12 years. In October he ran his first serious 400m clocking 48.26 on debut, but yesterday in Sydney he destroyed his PB, clocking 45.87 – just the second fastest Australian for seven years, behind training partner, Steven Solomon, in the Penny Gillies squad.
The modest University student was taking a measured approach to his breakthrough performance"
Here's hoping to see him with a breakthrough season now he's 20
