FORMER steeplechaser Harry Sharp has set a new 2km time trial record at the Victorian NAB AFL Draft Combine on Saturday.
The Greater Western Victoria Rebels prospect underlined his athletic qualities with a brilliant run in the endurance test.
His time of 5 minutes 28 seconds smashed the record attained by Jay Rantall at last year's Draft Combine, when the now Collingwood midfielder ran 5:50 in the gruelling aerobic test.

Saturday's Combine saw 30 Victorian prospects test at the Holden Centre in results that will be valuable for recruiters after their season was wiped out by COVID-19.
Collingwood Next Generation Academy prospect Reef McInnes starred in the 20-metre sprint, with the versatile midfielder clocking a time of 2.779 seconds.
It places him among the best-ever Combine times for the sprint test, however Saturday's results will not count in the historical data as there was a significant tailwind in the outdoor conditions on an athletics track. The AFL tested outdoors to comply with COVID-19 restrictions.
Nevertheless McInnes’ result will be a reminder of the 192cm prospect's talents, with key forward Jamarra Ugle-Hagan running a time of 2.897 seconds.
