The holder of the Australian under-16 100m and 200m records, Gout ran 10.57 seconds for the 100m as a fourteen year-old.^[5]

2023

Gout first broke the Australian under-18 men's 200m record in April at the age of 15. He ran 20.87 seconds to win the under-18 men's 200m final at the Australian Junior Athletics Championships in Brisbane in April 2023.^[6]^[7]^[8]

At the Queensland All-Schools Championships in the first weekend of November, he clocked a time of 20.29 (+1.2 m/s) in the heats of the 200m. In addition to achieving the Oceanian U20 record, he became the fourth fastest Australian over this distance and the fastest since 1993.
