Cameron Myers Shatters Aussie 1500m Record

Twenty-year-old Cameron Myers just obliterated the Australian 1500m record with a blistering 3:28 flat at the Paris Diamond League, smashing last year’s mark and proving he’s on another level. Working with coach Dick Telford, Myers combines raw speed with smart racing strategy, winning easily in Paris. The win carries extra weight—he grew up idolizing Aussie legends like Oliver Hoare and Stewart McSweyn, making this milestone deeply personal. Already holding Aussie records in the 3000m, mile, and multiple under-20 marks, Myers is stacking accolades like nobody’s business. While the world record still belongs to Hicham El Guerrouj, Myers is firmly in the global conversation. Meanwhile, sprinter Gout Gout also had a standout week, narrowly missing Olympic champ Noah Lyles but showing promise—especially as he works on his start. The future of Australian middle-distance and sprinting looks electric. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
