Four-time Paralympian Sam McIntosh has officially smashed the 17-second barrier in the 100m T52, clocking 16.89 (+0.1) at the ACT Summer Series Meet on March 9, 2025. 💨🔥​

This milestone is a feat achieved by only a handful of elite wheelchair racers in his class globally — and Sam is the first Australian to do it. He shaved nearly 0.4 seconds off his PB, setting a new benchmark for himself as he sets his sights on another World Para Athletics Championships this September.

Congratulations Sam!
