The 18-year-old schoolgirl recently ran a blistering 11.33s 100 metres which made her the fastest woman in Australia just under a tenth of a second quicker than Olympic silver medallist Sally McLennan.

Twelve months ago she won the Queanbeyan Gift off a handicap of 2.75 metres and Breen said she was looking forward to trying to reel in the field from her scratch mark tomorrow.

``I think it'll help actually; it'll give me more time to catch up, that's the way I'm looking at it,'' Breen said.

``I've got 120 metres to catch them all, so optimism is a good thing to have. I guess last year I was off 2.75 and I've improved from 11.7 to 11.3 so I guess it is time they drag me back a little, but it doesn't bother me too much.''

Breen said last year's win in the Queanbeyan Gift was a tremendous launching pad for her career.

``It was kind of when I got into the media and got talked about a little more,'' she said.

``When you go to other gifts, they announce you as the 2007 Queanbeyan Women's Gift winner, so it definitely did help.''

For just over two years, the 18-year-old has been under the tutelage of athletics coach and former Olympian Matt Beckenham, who has 18 athletes competing in both the men's and women's events tomorrow.

She said linking with Beckenham was the best thing she had ever done.

``He's a marvellous man, he's taught me so much and he's just an amazing coach,'' Breen said.

``What I've done this season so far is just a credit to him and I can't thank him enough, getting me from no one to now the fastest in Australia.''

Despite her recent form, Breen has plenty of talented sprinters to get past tomorrow if she wants to make it two in a row.

Lauren Whaler from the Hunter Valley will start off 0.75 metres as the second most heavily handicapped runner.

Breen said training partner Lauren Boden would also be one to watch.

``She's off four-and-a-half, she's in great form at the moment, she ran a PB in the 100, 11.8 when I ran my 11.3,'' she said.

``I guess any Victorian girls that come up could be the dark horse. You never know, you just have to wait for the day and see who blitzes the field.''
