Cameron Myers improved his own Oceania all-comers&rsquo; 1500m record by running 3:29.85 at the Australian Championships in Sydney on Friday (10).
The 19-year-old beat the 3:30.42 he ran during the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meeting in Melbourne at the end of March, becoming the first athlete to break 3:30 this year and recording the second-fastest time of his career behind the area U20 record of 3:29.80 he set in Ostrava last year.
Oliver Hoare finished second (3:32.66) and world indoor bronze medallist Adam Spencer was third (3:34.23).
&ldquo;To do this in front of a home crowd and the way I did it, is awesome,&rdquo; Myers told Australian Athletics. &ldquo;It took me a while this year to get going, but I&rsquo;ve got going now and hopefully this shows I will be a real contender in the European season.&rdquo;
There was drama in the women&rsquo;s 1500m as Olympic silver medallist Jessica Hull fell on the home straight. Claudia Hollingsworth crossed the finish line first and was initially disqualified but late reinstated as the winner in 4:17.06 ahead of Sarah Billings.
Lachlan Kennedy became the first Australian athlete to break 10 seconds on home soil,&nbsp;winning his 100m heat in 9.96 (0.2m/s) to improve his PB by 0.02.
&ldquo;I was super relaxed it almost felt easy,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;so I think I have a bit more in the tank for the final.&rdquo;
Mia Scerri won the heptathlon after setting five PBs across the seven events, scoring 6175, while world U20 champion&nbsp;Delta Amidzovski&nbsp;soared a PB of 6.84m&nbsp;in long jump qualification.
Championships action continues on Saturday and Sunday.

Olympic bronze medallist Matt Denny threw a world-leading 74.04m to win an extraordinary men&rsquo;s discus contest at the Oklahoma Throws Series World Invitational in Ramona on Thursday (9), where six athletes surpassed the 70-metre mark in a single competition for the first time.
The women's contest on Saturday (11) also broke new ground as Valarie Sion won with 73.10m from Jorinde van Klinken (70.99m), marking the first competition in 37 years in which two women have thrown beyond 70 metres.
While Denny ultimately took the win on Friday, Germany&rsquo;s Steven Richter delivered the most notable performance of the competition. The European U23 champion moved into the lead in the third round with a huge PB of 74.00m, improving significantly on his previous best of 69.61m, and backed it up immediately with 73.96m in the fourth round.
Denny, who led for the first two rounds with his opening throw of 72.01m, regained the lead in the fifth round with 74.04m &ndash; the third-best throw of his career behind the Oceanian records of 74.25m and 74.78m he set in Ramona last year. He closed with 71.84m to complete a series in which all six throws exceeded 70 metres.
Richter, meanwhile, produced five throws beyond 70 metres and three beyond 73m. His breakthrough performance lifts him to fourth on the world all-time list.
Slovenia&rsquo;s 2022 world champion Kristjan Ceh finished third with a national record of 72.61m, achieved with his final throw, while USA&rsquo;s Sam Mattis set a North American record of 72.45m in the second round to finish fourth.
Olympic champion Roje Stona finished fifth with a PB of 70.66m, and world bronze medallist Alex Rose of Samoa placed sixth with 70.43m.
USA&rsquo;s Texas Tanner narrowly missed joining the 70-metre group, placing seventh with a PB of 69.56m. Earlier in the programme, Reggie Jagers won the left-handed discus competition with 69.09m.
Two days later, Denny and Richter enjoyed another close tussle with the Australian once again prevailing.
Denny opened with 71.43m and then improved to 73.49m in round two. Richter sent his discus out to 72.47m in round four, and Denny responded with 72.58m before improving to 73.58m in the final round.
In third, Lawrence Okoye extended his own British record to 71.88m to finish ahead of Ceh (70.94m) and Mattis (69.75m).
<h2>Sion rebounds from defeat to throw 73.10m</h2>
World silver medallist Jorinde van Klinken of the Netherlands won the women&rsquo;s contest on Friday with a world-leading 68.98m, leading a Dutch 1-2 from compatriot Alida van Daalen, who set a PB of 67.99m.
Germany&rsquo;s Marike Steinacker was third (66.55m) and France&rsquo;s Melina Robert-Michon finished fourth with 65.96m, a world best for the W45 category.
Sion (n&eacute;e Allman) placed sixth with 65.18m, recording four fouls in a rare off day that ended a winning streak stretching back to the 2023 World Championships in Budapest.
But she rebounded two days later by producing the second-best throw of her career.
Sion opened with 71.00m and then threw 73.10m in round three &ndash; just 42 centimetres shy of her own North American record set last year, also in Ramona. Van Klinken produced three throws beyond 70 metres: 70.20m, 70.76m and a PB of 70.99m in the final round. Van Daalen was third with 69.17m.
Elsewhere, world indoor champion Chase Jackson won the women&rsquo;s shot put with 20.13m while Roger Steen won the men&rsquo;s contest with 21.77m.
The four-day meeting concludes on Sunday (12).

Shanoya Douglas delivered the standout performances of the CARIFTA Games, which concluded on Monday (6) after three days of action in St George&rsquo;s, Grenada.
The Jamaican sprinter successfully defended her 100m and 200m titles, winning the longer sprint in a world-leading 22.11 (1.9m/s). Not only did it smash Shaunae Miller-Uibo&rsquo;s Games record from 13 years ago, it propelled Douglas to equal third on the world U20 all-time list, tied with sprint legend Allyson Felix.
It also took 0.25 off the Jamaican U20 record Douglas set in Kingston last month and is the fastest ever time by a Caribbean U20 athlete.
Earlier in the Games, Douglas had won the 100m title in 11.13 (-0.8m/s), and she followed that by anchoring Jamaica to victory in the 4x100m in 43.76.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m super proud of myself that I&rsquo;m able to come out here and deliver such amazing performances a week after Champs,&rdquo; said the world U20 200m bronze medallist. &ldquo;I wanted to break the 100m record actually, but I knew I had to leave the CARIFTA Games with a record as it&rsquo;s my final year.&rdquo;
Bermudian sprinter Miles Outerbridge was a surprise winner of the U20 men&rsquo;s 100m title, running a lifetime best of 10.21 to edge the fast-finishing Nyrone Wade (10.27) of Jamaica.
Jamaica&rsquo;s 15-year-old Kai Kelly won the U17 boys&rsquo; 100m final in dramatic fashion. Jayden Goodridge of Trinidad and Tobago led for 85 metres before over-striding and temporarily losing his balance, which allowed Kelly to come through and win in 10.37 to Goodbridge&rsquo;s 10.48.
Guyana ruled supreme in the U20 400m finals. Following four faulty starts in the U20 women&rsquo;s final due to a system failure, Tianna Springer won her fourth consecutive 400m title across the age groups, clocking 52.47.
In the U20 men&rsquo;s final, Springer&rsquo;s teammate Malachi Austin prevailed in a thrilling homestretch battle against the spirited Bahamian Zion Davis, 46.01 to 46.18.
&ldquo;In last year&rsquo;s final, a Bahamian (Zion Miller) jumped me and I panicked and didn&rsquo;t react,&rdquo; said Austin. &ldquo;This year was about being patient and reacting accordingly, so I when I saw him (Davis) come off the turn before me, I said, &lsquo;this is it, let&rsquo;s go&rsquo;.&rdquo;
Springer and Austin later teamed up in the mixed 4x400m &ndash; in what was their third race within a day &ndash; to retain their title and smash their own Games record with 3:20.79.
A year after placing fifth, Jamaica&rsquo;s Shameika McLean gained redemption by winning the U17 girls&rsquo; 400m final in 52.47. In McLean&rsquo;s wake were co-favourites Keyezra Thomas of The Bahamas (52.58) and defending champion Tyra Fenton (Antigua &amp; Barbuda), who claimed bronze in 52.62.
&ldquo;I feel amazing,&rdquo; said McLean. &ldquo;I had stiff competition in this race, it was good and I executed properly.&rdquo;
Fenton then stepped down in distance and found immediate success, winning the U17 100m and 200m titles in 11.30 (-0.5m/s) and 23.39 (-2.5m/s) respectively.
Jamaica showcased its strength in the sprint hurdles by sweeping all eight finals with Mark-Daniel Allen&rsquo;s record-setting 13.25 in the U17 boys' 110m hurdles being the highlight.
In the U20 women&rsquo;s 1500m final, Barbadian Ashlyn Simmons outsmarted the field by launching an early kick that allowed her to build an insurmountable lead and win in 4:36.94. Despite a strong effort from Jamaica's Kevon-Gaye Fowler (4:37.39) to close an 80-metre gap, she could not overhaul the long-time leader.
The Bahamians came to life in the U17 4x100m relays with two resounding victories. First, the girls combined speed and efficiency to set a Games record of 44.21. Inspired by their success, the Bahamian U17 boys kept the excitement going for their fans by winning gold in 41.36.
A polished quartet from Trinidad and Tobago claimed victory in the U20 men&rsquo;s 4x100m in 39.64.
Elsewhere, Jamaica&rsquo;s Joseph Salmon threw 65.38m to win gold in the U20 men&rsquo;s discus, while Trinidad and Tobago&rsquo;s Tyrique Vincent broke his own Games record in the U20 men&rsquo;s decathlon with 6824.
Barbados brought the curtains down on the championships by winning the U20 men&rsquo;s 4x400m in a Games record of 3:05.49.
Jamaica continued its dominance of the Games, topping the table with 71 medals, including 28 gold, 27 silver and 16 bronze &ndash; its 48th title since the competition began in 1972. Trinidad and Tobago finished second with nine gold, 11 silver and 15 bronze medals, while The Bahamas placed third with eight gold, 12 silver and 10 bronze.
