India, May 13 -- Star sprinter Gout Gout has already set an international record faster than Usain Bolt could produce at the Under-20 level, and now he'll get a chance to lower it when he leads Australia's 75-strong squad for world juniors in Eugene, Oregon in August. "I'm really excited to get out there at World Athletics Under 20s," Gout said in a statement Tuesday announcing Australia's squad for the Aug. 5-9 championships. "It's a great stadium and place to run fast, and I feel confident I'll be ready to step up and make Australia proud." Gout will compete in the 200 metres - he already holds the under-20 world record in that event - and he'll also be part of 4x400 relay team.
