The 2017 Hancock Prospecting Australian SC Championships were full of star-studded swims on night one. Leading the pod? None other than Cate Campbell, who took back her World Record in the 100 freestyle after Sarah Sjostrom broke it earlier this year during the World Cup circuit.

Campbell’s performance from these Championships set the mark by .33 seconds, as it was her opening speed that made the difference in the end. Additionally, she was able to come home seven tenths faster than she did when she originally set the record in 2015:

Campbell (November 28, 2015): 24.20, 26.71 = 50.91

Sjostrom (August 3, 2017): 24.51, 26.26 = 50.77

Sjostrom (August 11, 2017): 24.49, 26.09 = 50.58

Campbell (October 26, 2017): 24.21, 26.04 = 50.25
