He knocked 12<br \/>\nseconds off his personal best, clocking 8:01.87, setting a NAG record, more than 12 seconds ahead of<br \/>\n<strong>Quintin Hurley<\/strong>, who at 8:14.32 also qualified for both.<\/p>\n<p>Reid has had a great competition, winning the 200m in 1:50.35, and the 400m in 3:51.10, with his<br \/>\nfavoured 1500m to come.<\/p>\n<p>Fairweather \u2013 at just 14 &#8211; is having an outstanding competition at her first Opens. She also got her<br \/>\nthird JPP qualifying time &#8211; in the 400m event &#8211; clocking 4:16.89, breaking the National Age Group<br \/>\nrecord by five seconds. Bronze medallist <strong>Eve Thomas<\/strong> (4:17.60) also went under the JPP standard<br \/>\nagain, in an event that was won by <strong>Carina Doyle<\/strong> in 4:16.40 after last year\u2019s winner, Olympian <strong>Emma<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Robinson<\/strong>, scratched.<\/p>\n<p>Fairweather is surprised how quickly she has risen up the New Zealand rankings, but sees this open<br \/>\nchampionship as no different to racing competitors her own age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m slightly surprised \u2013 but I\u2019ve trained hard for it. It\u2019s pretty cool to have the competition \u2013 they<br \/>\nare all nice girls \u2013 it\u2019s not too different,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always aim for PBs and see how I end up \u2013 I\u2019m happy with how I\u2019ve raced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pickett, who is not fully tapered, was surprised how quickly he has risen up the rankings to\u00a0get a silver medal in his first Open competition. For a 15-year-old, his times are world class in his age\u00a0group. He might have got a silver medal in the 50m freestyle, clocking 23.13 after his 23.08 NAG in\u00a0the heats, but he wasn\u2019t that happy. It was the only one of his six swims to date at this\u00a0championships that was not a NAG record.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA 22 would have been nice,\u201d he said. \u201cIn the heats I had a dodgy breakout.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He ran out of breath in the final, tiring near the wall. \u201cThere\u2019s still plenty of room for improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He has the 100m freestyle later this week, and is inching closer to that sub 50 time. He swam 50.69<br \/>\nin a relay lead-off earlier this week and although the Pan Pacific standard is out of reach, his time is<br \/>\nwell under the JPP qualifying time of 51.63. But he is \u201c100 percent certain\u201d of his ability to get<br \/>\nanother NAG in the 100m freestyle, and is eyeing the 51.40 time for the Youth Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe relay swim was a good one \u2013 especially half an hour after the 50m fly,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s been great<br \/>\n&#8211; racing the big guns is always pretty fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Except he\u2019s not just racing them, he\u2019s beating most of them, too.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the big guns were missing. Last year\u2019s 800m champion <strong>Matt Hutchins<\/strong> has retired, former<br \/>\nworld junior record-holder <strong>Gabrielle Fa\u2019amausili<\/strong> is in the US, top medley swimmer <strong>Mya Rasmussen<\/strong><br \/>\ndidn\u2019t enter, <strong>Emma Robinson<\/strong> scratched the 800m, and <strong>Bradlee Ashby<\/strong>, who has subbed two minutes\u00a0in 200m IM, has scratched from the meet, as well as next month\u2019s Pan Pacific championships in<br \/>\nTokyo, due to injury. That 200 IM event at Opens was won by <strong>Lewis Clareburt<\/strong>, who, like Ashby, was<br \/>\nalso a Commonwealth Games finalist in that event. He is inching closer to that sub two-minute mark<br \/>\nhimself, clocking 2:00.65; his first time under 2:01.<\/p>\n<p>World championships and Commonwealth Games backstroke finalist <strong>Corey Main<\/strong> scratched the<br \/>\n200m final, then was disqualified out of the win in the 100m, which was won by <strong>Cornielle Coetzee<\/strong> in<br \/>\n55.85, with Main\u2019s brother <strong>Bayley<\/strong> third in 56.41. Second placed <strong>Kane Follows<\/strong> (56.14) was also<br \/>\ndisqualified, but was reinstated.<\/p>\n<p>Sixteen-year-old <strong>Gina McCarthy<\/strong> got her first open title. She clocked 2:18.53 in the 200m IM \u2013 just<br \/>\n0.06 off a JPP time, but inside the 2:20.41 time for the Youth Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>In other events, <strong>Rebecca Moynihan<\/strong> won the women\u2019s 50m freestyle in 26.22, and Slovakian visitor<br \/>\n<strong>Karolina Hajkova<\/strong> clocked 1:02.70 in the 100m backstroke, with <strong>Gina Galloway<\/strong> second in 1:02.25, a<br \/>\nJPP time. <strong>Daniel Hunter<\/strong>, who qualified for the Pan Pacific Championships in the 50m freestyle at the<br \/>\nCommonwealth Games in 22.34, won that event in 22.60.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dave Crampton, Swimming World Contributor.\u00a0 Two younger swimmers in their first open championships got themselves silver medals on the third day of the New Zealand Opens, with sprinter Michael<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":317105,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[68952],"class_list":["post-317100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-world","tag-2018-new-zealand-open-championships"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
