Teenage World champion and Tokyo Olympic hopeful Ariarne Titmus has been crowned the 30th<\/sup> Australian Swimmer of the Year in Sydney tonight \u2013 adding her name to a who\u2019s who of the sport.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old from St Peters Western achieved what many thought was impossible when she beat US wonder-swimmer Katie Ledecky in the 400m freestyle at this year\u2019s Fina World Championships in Gwangju.<\/p>\n

The talented Tasmanian-born teen won a further three medals including a gold and world record in the women\u2019s 4x200m freestyle relay.<\/p>\n

She is now firmly entrenched in swimming\u2019s elite Queensland swimming hub in Brisbane, and became the first Australian to win the event since another famous Queenslander Tracey Wickham in Berlin in 1978.<\/p>\n

Over the last three decades, the likes of Olympic champions Kieren Perkins, Susie O\u2019Neill, Ian Thorpe, Grant Hackett, Jodie Henry, Leisel Jones, Libby Trickett and Kyle Chalmers have etched their names onto the coveted Swimmer of the Year trophy.<\/p>\n

Titmus becomes the 12th<\/sup> female to win the coveted award, joining Hayley Lewis (1990), Susie O\u2019Neill (1995, 1996), Jodie Henry (2004), Leisel Jones (2006), Libby Trickett (2007), Stephanie Rice (2008), Jessicah Schipper (2009), Alicia Coutts (2010 and 2012), Cate Campbell (2013, 2014, 2018), Bronte Campbell (2015) and Emily Seebohm (2015 and 2017).<\/p>\n

She capped off a remarkable year in the pool to claim three prestigious accolades on a night proudly presented by Hancock Prospecting.<\/p>\n

In front of more than 190 guests at the Museum of Contemporary Art overlooking Sydney Harbour, the teenage swimming sensation collected the coveted \u2018Hancock Prospecting Olympic Program Swimmer of the Year\u2019, the \u2018Short Course Swimmer of the Year\u2019 and the \u2018Hancock Prospecting Patron Award\u2019.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the season at the 2018 FINA World Short Course Championships in China, she broke the world record on her way to victory in the 400m freestyle, while also setting a new Commonwealth record and capturing gold in the 200m freestyle.<\/p>\n

It was a fruitful night for St Peters Western, with Titmus\u2019 coach Dean Boxall taking out both the \u2018Hancock Prospecting Olympic Program Coach of the Year\u2019 and the \u2018Youth Coach of the Year\u2019. It\u2019s been a productive season for Boxall, with multiple athletes under his watch proudly selected onto the senior Dolphins team and the Junior World Championship team.<\/p>\n

Mrs Rinehart was on stage to present several of the awards and said it was \u201ca dazzling night of champions\u201d.<\/p>\n

Recent world champions Tiffany Thomas Kane (Monte) and Lakeisha \u2018Lucky\u2019 Patterson (Belgravia) were joint winners of the \u2018Paralympic Program Swimmer of the Year\u2019, following their successful campaigns at the World Para Swimming Championships in London.<\/p>\n

After setting a new Championship record and smashing her personal best by three seconds in the heats of the women\u2019s 100m breaststroke SB7, Thomas Kane capitalised in the final, blitzing the field to claim Australia\u2019s maiden gold.<\/p>\n

Patterson\u2019s triumph followed a few days later when she caned her competition in the women\u2019s 400m freestyle S9 to stand atop of the podium.<\/p>\n

Patterson\u2019s coach Harley Connolly secured the title of \u2018Paralympic Coach of the Year\u2019 after guiding \u2018Lucky\u2019 to gold, as well as Brenden Hall to a silver medal in the men\u2019s 400m freestyle S9.<\/p>\n
