Lachie Kennedy upstages Gout Gout to win 200m at Peter Norman Memorial
‘You’ve just got to not freak out, stay relaxed’
Kennedy also won 100m, ahead of Rohan Browning
Gout Gout has a problem and his name is Lachie Kennedy. In another enthralling evening in Australian athletics, the superstar teenager was once again upstaged by his fellow Queenslander, at the Maurie Plant Meet on Saturday.
Under pouring rain at Lakeside Stadium in front of close to 9,000 fans, Kennedy held off the fast-finishing Gout in the Peter Norman Memorial 200m. The result was a replay of last year in a race that is now the clear highlight of the Australian athletics season.
