Having been around such a high-quality squad back in Australia, I’m very accustomed to how it feels. I just wanted to continue my process and do what I can do and let the results show. Same as the 4 x 1, we’ve got depth. I’ve really wanted to own (being) behind Cam (McEvoy) – Ill humbly accept being behind Cam any time. But to be 23 years old and be chasing after a world-record holder is honoring.”
