Australia's New Fastest Woman!

---

A big congratulations to Melissa Breen, a former Little Athlete, who became Australia's fastest woman on Sunday!

"The Canberra sprinter rewrote the record books with an incredible run of 11.11 seconds in the heats of the women's 100 metres at the ACT championships on Sunday.

It was the fastest time by an Australian woman in 20 years, beating the mark of Melinda Gainsford-Taylor of 11.12 seconds, set in 1994.

Barely two hours later, Breen backed up her performance with an equally impressive showing in the final, stopping the clock in 11.15 seconds to beat London Olympic Games gold medallist Sally Pearson (11.27 seconds) for the first time in 30 meetings between them." via The Canberra Times
