Avcol Alum Lex beats national 400m record

Former student Lex Revell‑Lewis continues to make waves on the international athletics stage, shaving one‑hundredth of a second off his own New Zealand 400m record at the Adelaide Invitational.

Running from lane six, Lex delivered an impressive 45.87s, finishing second behind Australian Luke van Ratingen. This performance builds on his historic achievement last year, when he became the first Kiwi man to run under 46 seconds for the distance.

Just a week earlier, he defended his national title in Auckland with another sub‑46 run (45.97s), securing qualification for the upcoming World Indoor Championships in Poland.

Congratulations, Lex, we love seeing you go from strength to strength!
