Calab lays down the law on Day 3 of the Australian Track and Field Championships
Sydney, Australia; April 14 2021 – The spotlight on day three of the Australian Track and Field Championships belonged to Queensland’s Calab Law, who stole the show when completing the sprint double in the Under 20 age group.
The feat was just one among a flurry of strong performances in the junior ranks as the action at Sydney Olympic Park warms up before the Open age titles and Olympic nomination trials begin tomorrow.
Law’s task was made easier by the disqualification of his Queensland teammate, Ashley Wong, in the preliminaries after he stepped out of his lane in an unfortunate turn of events. The 17-year-old flexed his strength over 200m to take an emphatic victory in a time of 21.12 – a new personal best and another World Under 20 Championships qualifier.
