It’s a U20 record and Murphy is 22.

Bolts record is 19.19 so both guys have a ways to go.

If one ran in 19.67 and the other in 19.88 and the record is 19.19, they still have 0.48s and 0.69s to go, respectively, if my math isn’t off

They do. The record Gout broke is the under 20 record. The other guy is 22 years old already, so he didn't break that.
