Stewart McSweyn Beats Jake Wightman, 17-Year-Old Cameron Myers In Mile At Maurie Plant Meet 2024 

Cam Myers still progressing at the rate Jakob did

Delighted for McSweyn, he had done all the hard work so I'm glad that he held on. Jake Wightman is some athlete, nothing wrong with a 3.52 mile.

Good race. Good to see Jake Wightman back after his injury woes. It’ll be an interesting season ahead, real quality in 1500/mile these days.

Welcome back Stewie. No easy feat to hold off Jake Wightman!

Bit of a kick in the guts to Jye Edwards, past Australian champ, olympian and 3.49 miler not to get a star athlete call up by the announcer.

Cam Myers would have won this race if he'd have made a go at the outside, but it's so difficult to not try for the inside if you see it open. I know he can go faster than his tine given he could've won this race. Very excited to see his future

Great to see Wightman back to form after a long period of injury absence. McSweyn was a beast to fight him off for the win!

Fantastic race. Well done to the two Aussie lads. Looking good for 2024 for both lads

Great to see serious competition in Australia which can only help all the Australian athletes

Reasonable time for early in the Olympic year, still a long way to go to reach that final.

At 17! That's crazy!

Good race by Wightman considering he has been out for almost a year

Just the other day, this was impossible. Now we are 8 seconds faster than impossible and 6 people finish below impossible... Well done

Stewie baby go-go-go. GREAT race! Go get'em. This year will be WILD. We have the deepest/best 1500/mile field of all time.

Gran carrera

Such a choppy stride, happy he got a w.

Ryn Mphahlele from south Africa was needed in this field

Stewy is a lad

It sounds like the commentary can also be heard by the crowd and athletes. Hopefully the athletes can block that out...

Happy for Stewie!

3'52"? wheeeeew. He looked like he was tying up and tripping over to the line - it was fast, but it sure wasn't pretty!!

I was looking for the results on the screen but... nothing. So, if Cameron Myers was just off the WR for a 17 year old, what is that record? How close was he? Who holds it? It's never mentioned. Plus, what were the results for the other runners in the race? What about the other 17 year old. What time did he run? Etc. You get my drift re time results. Cheers.

The best race!! So exciting for middle distsnce running 🎉❤

First Dream mile in 1954- R.Bannister England-3.58.6, John Landy Aus-3.59,5. 70 years later Aussie take revenge

Why put the result in the title

McSweyn has a unique running style. He barely flexes at the hip. All his action is in the lower legs, which gives him a very high stride rate. Wightman has a more classic style, but he looks like he's lumbering by comparison with McSweyn.

Why does stewy start so slow? 😅

Wait a second. I thought Bruce McAvaney retired??

Bruce McAvaney is the GOAT track and field commentator

Interesting Race over the historic and classic mile ( 1,760 Yards ) but a little disappointing that Two ( 2 ) pacemakers were apparently required, Masato Yokota to the 880 Yard mark and Connor Whitely to the 1,000 yard mark but pleased for Stewart McSweyn who seems to be getting back to his more usual self after enduring serious health problems, although I did feel that Stewart did seem to lose stride just before the tape, sort of locked up momentarily it seemed to me. Jake Wightman will, of course, only get better as he has been off the scene for so long with injury. The commentary not my cup of tea though, comments across the commentator from a 2nd Party are just not on in book. The Commentator alone must be entirely focussed on The Race and he must stir the crowd up, like the Commentators for Horse Races or even Greyhound Races do.

Surprised to see McSwain out kick Wightman.

Asmare looks a touch older than 17 😂

Aussies getting too excited as always. Wightman is a former world champ coming back from injury. McSweyn will never get near a medal at a world championships

Think muets had them if he didn’t get tripped

all of them on their build towards the olympics. 4 seconds off their PBs. The only real story is Cam Myers here.

Olk milla en 4 min

Meyers would have won that easily if came down the outside.

I wish you would stop 'spoiling' the results with your video titles -- now I won't bother to actually watch it coz you've spoiled the thrill of watching the race to see the outcome.

Good call from McAvaney but get rid of the woman brings nothing to the commentary.
