At 19, Cameron Myers is making sub-3:30 look routine.
At the Australian Athletics Championships, he clocked 3:29.85 to win the men’s 1500m, taking down a high-quality field with control and composure. It was another statement run—his second dip under the 3:30 barrier and just 0.05 seconds shy of his personal best of 3:29.80, set in Ostrava last year.
The time also edges him closer to the national benchmark. Olli Hoare’s Australian record of 3:29.41, set in 2023, is now firmly within sight.
There was no drama, just pace and execution. Myers positioned himself well, stayed patient, and closed when it mattered.
At 19, he isn’t chasing times anymore—he’s matching them. And with each run, the gap between promise and arrival continues to shrink.
