Cameron McEvoy became the first man in Australian history to sweep the 50-100-200 frees at the Australian Nationals.

Following wins in the 100 and 200 earlier in the week, McEvoy surged to victory in the splash-and-dash with a 21.44. That’s the second-ranked swim of the year behind only Florent Manaudou’s 21.42 from the French Championships. It’s also not far behind Ashley Callus’ Australian record of 21.19 from the techsuit-fueled 2009.

Matt Abood finished second in 22.08, just off the Australian Olympic qualifying time of 22.02.

James Magnussen missed out completely on making an individual swim at the Rio Olympics with a third-place 22.12.

Andrew Abood (22.14), Will Stockwell (22.17), James Roberts (22.22), David Morgan (22.52) and Kenneth To (22.55) claimed the rest of the finishes.

Magnusson almost did – 47.10 @. 2012 trials. However McEvoy is the ultimate professional & trains smartly to ensure he produces the performance he is after.
