With the time fast enough to move through as fourth fastest qualifier for tonight\u2019s final.<\/p>\n<p>Hackett, who retired after the Beijing Olympics in 2008, only started training six months ago and came into the Championships with no performance expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just can\u2019t believe I\u2019ve gone sub-3:50 off six months training after six years off,\u201d an elated Hackett said after the race, \u201cthat\u2019s just pretty crazy at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hackett said he raced \u201cpretty conservatively\u201d and is looking forward to racing his younger rivals in tonight\u2019s final.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just made sure I had enough in the last lap to be able to step it up coming home\u2026The more I race, the faster I get.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fastest qualifier from the heats was David McKeon who swam 3:46.49, well under the FINA qualifying time required to make the Kazan World Championships team. While Melbourne Vicentre\u2019s Mack Horton was second fastest in 3:48.12 and Hackett\u2019s Miami squad mate Jordan Harrison was third fastest in 3:49.94. Needing a top-two finish and a qualifying time to make the Worlds team, a tonight\u2019s final will be fast.<\/p>\n<p>Making a comeback of a different kind was Christian Sprenger, competing in his first race since the 2014 Commonwealth Games after undergoing ground-breaking shoulder surgery. The Australian title holder won his heat in 1:00.99 and was the second fastest overall behind Pan Pacs representative Jake Packard (1:00.68).<\/p>\n<p>Sprenger said the shoulder was giving him no trouble but it was missing the training block that has set his times back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll see if I can take it up a little in the semis and then bring whatever I can to the final,\u201d Sprenger said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just need to go in and take a lot of confidence from my past years and know I have the capability. I am not where I was 12 months ago so I have to really work for it this time and that\u2019s just how the game is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Treloar was the third fastest in 1:01.97 while Nicholas Schafer will also progress in 1:01.98.<\/p>\n<p>In the women\u2019s 400m freestyle, the fastest finisher was New Zealand\u2019s Lauren Boyle (4:03.88), who will contest the B final tonight. Indooroopilly\u2019s Leah Neal was the fastest Aussie in 4:10.80 and the 19-year-old will going into tonight\u2019s final as the fastest qualifier ahead of Jessica Ashwood (4:11.27) and Kylie Palmer (4:11.32).<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Other Events<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Women\u2019s Multi Class 100m Backstroke<\/strong><br \/>\nParalympian Ellie Cole (S9) proved she is in fine form as she dived in for the heats of the women\u2019s 100m Multi Class backstroke this morning. The 23-year-old clocked a 1:11.33 (917 FINA points) and looks on track to qualify for her third IPC World Championship team despite having some time off in 2013 and 2014 with a shoulder injury. Moving through in second place was Paralympic Games silver medallist in this event Taylor Corry (S14, 1:11.41) with the always competitive Jacqui Freney (S7, 1:28.82) ranked third.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Women\u2019s 100m Butterfly<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter winning a bronze medal in this event at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, Emma McKeon will move through to the semi-finals of the women\u2019s 100m butterfly as the top contender with a time of 57.68 from the heats. Reigning Australian Champion and silver medallist from the 2013 World Championships Alicia Coutts (58.12) will progress in second spot with Brittany Elmslie third in 59.29.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Women\u2019s 200m Individual Medley<\/strong><br \/>\nCommonwealth Games and Pan Pacs representative Emily Seebohm has had her first swim of the meet in the women\u2019s 200m individual medley. Seebohm hit the wall in a time of 2:13.32 to progress fastest through to the semi-final tonight. Sixteen-year-old Lucy McJannett (2:13.62) who last year represented Australia at the Junior Pan Pacs was the second fastest qualifier with breaststroker Taylor McKeown third in 2:14.03.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Men\u2019s 50m Butterfly<\/strong><br \/>\nPapua New Guinea\u2019s Ryan Pini was the fastest qualifier in the men\u2019s 50m butterfly, heading into the semi-finals with a heat time of 23.85. Jayden Hadler (23.90) and Kenneth To (24.16) were the fastest Aussies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Men\u2019s 100m Backstroke Multi-Class<\/strong><br \/>\nDual Paralympian Michael Anderson (S10) took out the men\u2019s 100m Multi Class backstroke heats with a time of 1:02.10. The 27-year-old from Flinders of Buderim edged out his fellow Queenslander Daniel Fox (S14) who has qualified second in 1:03.29.
