Lewin lowers PB by half second in season opener

Lewin Ainsworth has gotten into the Olympic spirit with a mighty half second person best competing at the Capital Athletics Winter Series at the AIS on Sunday.

Competing in both the 200m and the 400m, Lewin lowered his previous 200m PB from 28.18s to 27.66s, in his first competition since the Australian Little Athletics Championships in Adelaide. This performance was only just after his first 400m hit out for the season with a respectable 1:02.55, which is faster than his previous PB of 1:03.35 (by almost a 1s), and he finished fourth overall in all ages.

Lewin who plays AFL and trains for athletics too, has had a wonderful winter preparation under the careful eye of Canberra Sprint Coach, Steve Dodt. With school competition about to heat up next month, Lewin is already showing he will be force to reckon with some September and beyond!
