Australian teenage running prodigy Cam Myers continues to defy expectations, clocking a sensational 3:29.80 over 1500 meters in Ostrava. At just 19 years old, Myers smashed through the elusive sub-3:30 barrier for the first time in his career, solidifying his place as one of the most promising young middle-distance talents on the planet.
His new personal best ranks him No. 4 on the all-time World U20 list, trailing only Phanuel Koech, Ronald Kwemoi, and Niels Laros. The performance is a massive leap forward from his previous best of 3:32.67, set earlier this year during his build-up to a 3:47.48 mile at the Millrose Games in February.
With poise beyond his years and a kick that’s rapidly earning global respect, Myers is quickly becoming Australia’s next middle-distance superstar. Keep your eyes on this kid—he’s just getting started.
