Two-time Gold Coast Olympian Cameron McEvoy<\/strong> (TSS Aquatic) will return to racing in Melbourne this weekend at the Victorian State Championships \u2013 entered in all freestyle events between 50 and 400 metres at the Melbourne Sports And Aquatic Centre.<\/p>\n

Racings starts on Friday in the three-day meet which also features the World Para Swimming World Series and culminates on Sunday evening with a host of Olympians, Paralympians and those with their eyes on joining sport\u2019s exclusive club in Tokyo in 2020.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also the next stop in McEvoy\u2019s campaign to join a select band of swimmers to make three Olympic teams \u2013 that will see his three-peat fate to be sealed in the June Olympic Trials in Adelaide.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old who made his Olympic debut in London in 2012 is one of only a handful of swimmers \u2013 including Cate<\/strong> and Bronte Campbell, David McKeon, Emily Seebohm, Tessa Wallace, James Roberts, Yolane Kukla <\/strong>and Blair <\/strong>Evans from the London team who are still swimming<\/p>\n

McEvoy and Roberts have been mainstays in Australia\u2019s 4x100m freestyle relays in London and Rio \u2013 missing a medal in 2012 and claiming bronze with James Magnussen<\/strong> and Kyle Chalmers<\/strong> in Rio \u2013 medals await them again if they can make the team.<\/p>\n

McEvoy tops the psyche sheets in both the 50 and 100m freestyle at the \u201cVic States\u201d and comes in third behind Olympic champion Mack Horton<\/strong> (Melbourne Vicentre) and Pan Pac champion Jack McLoughlin (<\/strong>Chandler) in the 200m freestyle and 34th<\/sup> in the 400m also led by \u201cthe big two\u201d Horton and McLoughlin.<\/p>\n

McEvoy, under coach Chris Nesbit<\/strong> at The Southport School group, knows he must get back to his 2016 Olympic Trials form of 47.04 to secure a spot of what will be a competitive 100m freestyle at this year\u2019s Trials in June.<\/p>\n

The Gold Coaster, who moved from long term coach Richard Scarce<\/strong> to the experienced Nesbitt two years ago, hit his straps in 2017, clocking 47.91 (seventh in the world) but has struggled to regain his sub 48 mojo in 2018 (outside the top 25) and 20th<\/sup> last year on 48.29.<\/p>\n

But the one thing with McEvoy, he knows what works for him and he knows what he has to do.<\/p>\n

Olympic champion and good friend Kyle Chalmers<\/strong> has set the pace so far in 2020 \u2013 with his world rankings chart-topper of 47.99 to win the South Australian States last month.<\/p>\n

The men\u2019s breaststroke will also capture the eye.<\/p>\n

And after finishing on a 2019 personal best high of 2:07.28 at last December\u2019s Queensland State Championships, Tokyo hopeful Zac Stubblety-Cook<\/strong> (Chandler) will have his first competitive taste of the Olympic year when he lines up in the 100 and 200m breaststroke.<\/p>\n

He finished fourth on the 2019 rankings behind world champion and world record holder Anton Chupkov<\/strong> (RUS) 2:06.12, his fellow country-man and former world record holder Matthew Wilson<\/strong> (AUS) 2:06.67 and Ippei Watanabe<\/strong> (JPN)_ 2:06.73 in what is sure to develop into an intriguing battle for 200m Olympic breaststroke gold.<\/p>\n

RECORD ENDING FINALE TO 2019 FOR ZAC<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile local Rio Olympian Koti Ngawati<\/strong> (Melbourne Sports And Aquatic Centre) is also in for a busy weekend with the freestyle\/Imer entered in all four 100m events, freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly as well as the 200Im and 200m freestyle, as she also looks to stake her claim for Tokyo.<\/p>\n

The men\u2019s butterfly events will be a case of \u201cthe champ\u201d Rio relay silver medallist David Morgan<\/strong> (TSS Aquatic) up against the local heroes \u201cthe challengers\u201d Nunawading Matthew Temple<\/strong> and Bowen Gough<\/strong> over 100 and 200m butterfly.<\/p>\n
