"Kennedy expressed, 'Honestly, I didn't really even expect it. I was just super relaxed... but it just felt easy.' He believes he has more potential, stating, 'I think I've got a bit more in the tank.'"
"Kennedy aims to make running under 10 seconds a routine, saying, 'Doing it once is good, but doing it twice... I want to make it the standard.' He is determined to continue improving his performance."
