Jack Hale (athletics) ran the third leg of the men’s 4x100m relay that clocked a season’s best 38.58 secs to finish fourth at Gold Coast 2018 alongside Rohan Browning, Joshua Clarke and Trae Williams. Four years later in Birmingham, disaster struck on the final exchange as Hale again prepared to hand over to Browning who slipped and fell as he set off, leaving the team with a did not finish.
Hale quickly earned the moniker ‘Hale storm’ after breaking the national under-18 100m record at an interschool meet in Hobart in 2014, then unleashing a wind-assisted 10.13 at the All-Schools Championships in Adelaide shortly afterwards. He went on to represent Australia at the World Youth Championships in Colombia the following year and the World Youth Championships in Poland in 2016, before claiming Matt Shirvington’s national under-20 record with a time of 10.21.
In the weeks before Australia’s COVID closures in 2020, Hale registered a PB of 10.14 in Canberra, before heading to Perth to lower his PB for the second time in two weeks, the stopwatch showing 10.12.
