Australia's best track sprinters are set to light up the boards of Hisense Arena on Saturday December 16.

The 120th Austral Wheelrace Carnival will feature UCI Category 1 Sprint and Keirin events, and Australia's top sprinters are all confirmed starters - namely Matt Glaetzer, Jacob Schmid, Pat Constable, Nathan Hart, Steph Morton, Kaarle McCulloch and Holly Takos.

And they are certainly in fantastic form judging by the outstanding times recorded in Sprint Qualifying at the Oceania Track Championships over the past 24 hours.

Matt Glaetzer recorded a flying 200 metre time of 9.68 seconds, which represents an average speed of 74.4km/hr.

Meanwhile in the women's sprint qualification, Stephanie Morton recorded 10.65 seconds (67.6 km/hr), one of the fastest times ever recorded.

All times and average speeds are listed below:
 

Rider	200m Qualifying Time	Average Speed
Matt Glaetzer	9.681 secs	74.4 km/hr
Jacob Schmid	9.736 secs	73.9 km/hr
Pat Constable	9.776 secs	73.6 km/hr
Nathan Hart	9.954 secs	72.3 km/hr
Steph Morton	10.654 secs	67.6 km/hr
Kaarle McCulloch	10.908 secs	66.0 km/hr
Holly Takos	11.125 secs	64.7 km/hr

While the Australians are in fine form, they certainly won't have it all their own way. 

Keirin World Champion Azizul Awang (Malaysia) is "keen to put on a show in his rainbow jersey", and former Austral winner Zac Williams (New Zealand) is also in fabulous form having just won a third Oceania 'kilo' title in a row.

Rio Olympians Fatehah Mustapa (Malaysia) and Shannon McCurley (Ireland) will also test out the speed and tactical skills of our best female sprinters.
