Lightning quick, strong and with a junior rugby league pedigree, Pais Wisil sounds like an obvious target for the PNG Chiefs ahead of their NRL debut in 2028.
But Papua New Guinea's fastest man has his eyes firmly set on creating more sprinting history for his homeland at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and beyond.
Wisil, 25, holds the PNG national records for 60m and 100m and has every intention of going faster in the near future.
He made history by qualifying for the 60m semis at last year's world indoors and has high hopes for what he and his teammates can achieve in the 100m and 4x100m relay at the Commonwealth Games starting in late July.
"I'm so happy with our team right now; there are a lot of sprinters coming through," the softly spoken Wisil told AAP at the Oceania championships in Darwin.
"The Commonwealth Games is going to be so much fun for me because I know I'm capable of competing well.
"I just want to break my PNG record. I expect to do it and then go beyond that."
Wisil set the current standard of 10.24 seconds last year in Brisbane.
He was fourth in 10.39 in the Oceania 100m final in Darwin on Wednesday as Australian Josh Azzopardi claimed gold in 10.21.
Wisil is a member of PNG's most famous sprinting family.
His sister Toea competed at the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Olympics and still holds the 100m, 200m and 400m national records while older brother Kupun ran at two Commonwealth Games.
They inspired me when I was young, knowing I could follow in their footsteps," he said.
"That's my dream, I've been following it and here I am.
"There's more to come and I want to keep going."
That love for the track was the deciding factor when the inevitable interest came from rugby league, which has always been the dominant sporting code in PNG - a status which will only be cemented further when the Chiefs enter the NRL.
Wisil was a schoolboy league star but has not played since he was 19.
"In PNG, rugby league is huge," he said.
"I loved to play it, I was good at it, but athletics is one of my favourite sports and that's why I've kept doing it.
"In the past, people in the Australian leagues have asked me to come and play but I told them I have dreams to achieve in my athletics and later I will go from there."
