Gout came back to compete in the final on Friday and finished in 10.17. That mark is the sixth-fastest time for a runner under the age of 18. Gout’s previous personal record was 10.29, per People.

As both People and CNN report, Gout has drawn strong comparisons in recent years to Usain Bolt.

Speaking to Athletics Australia after his race, Gout said he has been “chasing this national record for a while now.”

“In the heat, I thought I got it, but it was a crazy tailwind, so I just did the same thing and got the job done,” the rising star told the publication.

Gout is not yet done competing at the All-Schools Athletics Championships in Queensland. He plans to race in the 200-meter sprint on Saturday.
