17-year-old\u00a0Ariarne Titmus\u00a0<\/strong>broke the Australian record in the 400 freestyle on Monday night at the Queensland State Championships in Brisbane. Titmus swam a 4:02.86 in the 400 free to break the two-year-old Australian record that was held by\u00a0Jess Ashwood\u00a0<\/strong>of 4:03.34 on her way to winning\u00a0bronze at the 2015 Worlds in the event.<\/p>\n

Titmus’ time now ranks her fourth in the world for the 2017 calendar year behind the three medalists in the event<\/a> at the Budapest World Championships. Titmus was fourth in the Budapest final with a 4:04.26 earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

Titmus won the final ahead of former record holder Ashwood by nearly seven seconds as Ashwood was second at 4:09.65 and\u00a0Mikkayla Sheridan\u00a0<\/strong>was third at 4:10.22.<\/p>\n

At the same meet in Queensland,\u00a0Cate Campbell\u00a0<\/strong>moved up to tied for fourth in the 2017 world rankings with Denmark’s\u00a0Pernille Blume\u00a0<\/strong>in the 100 free. Campbell swam a 52.69 to win by over a second ahead of her sister\u00a0Bronte Campbell\u00a0<\/strong>(53.75).<\/p>\n

Titmus’ splits from Monday are displayed below compared to Ashwood’s time from 2015.<\/p>\n
