BRISBANE, Australia, July 16. THE Australian Short Course Championships put another evening in the books with a double as well as a record-setting performance.<\/p>\n
After setting an Australian record last night, Emily Seebohm continued her outstanding meet with a pair of victories. First, she checked in with a 53.16 in the women's 100 free for the win. Emma McKeon took second in 53.37, while Felicity Galvez placed third in 53.51. Seebohm also won the women's 100 IM by clearing 1:00 with a 59.29. Tessa Wallace snared second in 1:00.36, while Chelsea Carpenter grabbed third in 1:01.43.<\/p>\n
"I came out with some good times and was happy with the 100m free, but maybe not so happy with the 100m IM," Seebohm told Swimming Australia<\/i>. "I just went in tonight a little bit overdone mentally after last night and trying to get up was a little bit harder but I tried my best and raced hard."<\/p>\n
Kylie Palmer raced to a top time of 3:59.92 in the women's 400 free. That performance lowered the Australian All-Comers record, and nearly clipped her national record of 3:59.23 set in 2008.
