Aussie Thomas Neill Sets Junior Short Course WR in 400 Free; Mitch Larkin Shines<\/strong><\/p>\n

Australia’s rising distance swimming star Thomas Neill<\/strong> (Rackley) set his first World Junior Record in the 400m freestyle at the Queensland State Short Course Championships<\/strong> today and heart-breakingly missed another one by just one one-hundredth of a second.<\/p>\n

Neill started the final session of the three-day meet at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre with an eye-catching performance, clocking a time of 3 minutes 38. 00 to take 1.17secs of the previous world mark for boys 18 years and younger.<\/p>\n

And then five hours later, in the final event of the meet Neill won the 800m freestyle in a time of 7:36.10 \u2013 just 0.10 outside German Sven Schwartz\u2019s <\/strong>2019 Junior WR set in Berlin.<\/p>\n

And swimming right next to him in the 400m, eye-balling him all the way the man he took the WR off \u2013 Commonwealth Games relay gold medallist and fellow Queenslander Elijah Winnington<\/strong> (Bond), who is now training under coach Dean Boxall at St Peters Western.<\/p>\n

There was hardly a split second between the pair as they swam stroke-for-stroke for 16 laps, with 20-year-old Winnington stopping the clock in a personal best time of 3:37.45 to take the title with 18-year-old Neill touching second to steal his new Junior WR with a time of 3:38.00.<\/p>\n

Winnington turned at the 200m in 1:47.32, with Neill a touch behind in 1:47.70 and at the 300m turn it was Winnington in 2:43.15 and Neill in 2:43.50, with Winnington holding on and pushing Neill to the new WR, erasing his name from the record books.<\/p>\n

Winnington\u2019s previous WR of 3:39.17 was set at the Australian SC Championships in Melbourne in 2018.<\/p>\n

In Australia only Olympic and world champions Grant Hackett <\/strong>(3:34.58) and Ian Thorpe <\/strong>(3:34.68) have swum faster than Winnington (3:37.45) followed by Thomas Fraser-Holmes (3:37.63) and Neill (3:38.00).<\/p>\n

Neill\u2019s 17-year-old training partner, under coach Damien Jones,<\/strong> at Rackley Centenary, Sam Short,<\/strong> finished third in a new 17 years Queensland All-Comers record time of 3:44.44.<\/p>\n

The Rackley boys then jumped back in the pool for Neill\u2019s tilt at another world junior time over 800m, churning through 32 laps with Short in hot pursuit splitting the first 100 in 54.25; 1:50.82 (200m) and 3:44.09 (400m) when he started to widen the gap with the 7:36.00 mark well within his grasp \u2013 only to see it slip from his finger tips by 0.10.<\/p>\n

It may not be any consolation but Neill did set new Queensland and Queensland All Comers records and his time has only been bettered by Australian Olympic gold medal 1500m champions, reigning world record holder Hackett (7:23.42) set in Melbourne in 2008 and Kieren Perkins<\/strong> (7:34.90) set in Sydney in 1993 \u2013 and places him in the Top 15 in the World All-Time.<\/p>\n

Short finished second in 7:44.82, just outside his personal best of 7:43.85, set recently at the Brisbane SC Championships.<\/p>\n

Neill was named the Male Swimmer of the Meet for his 400m Junior WR, before he had even swum the 800m while Lani Pallister<\/strong> (for her Australian record swim in the women\u2019s 800m freestyle of 8:11.71) and Maddy Gough<\/strong> (for her Australian record in the 1500m freestyle of 15:31.19) shared the Award for Queensland State’s Female Swimmers of the Meet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pallister (Cotton Tree) wrapped her busy and successful State Championship campaign taking another “lead from the front \u201cKatie Ledecky style win in the 400m freestyle, clocking a a personal best time of 4:01.96 (1:59.21) from a fast finishing Olympic 10km representative in Kareena Lee<\/strong> (Noosa) in a personal best of 4:03.95 with Kiah Melverton<\/strong> (TSS Aquatic) third in 4:04.06.<\/p>\n

While Pallister and Gough have been most impressive, so too has Lee who has been a stand out, certainly coming of age in the pool as she stakes her claim as one to watch when she gets to Tokyo next year for her Olympic debut in the 10km marathon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, World SC record holder and dual 400m LC and SC world champion Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> (St Peters Western) was a late withdrawal from the 400m, due to sickness with coach Dean Boxall<\/strong> confirming she was \u201coff colour.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other events, Southport\u2019s 19-year-old breaststroker Chelsea Hodges<\/strong> showed why she will be one to watch in the countdown to next year\u2019s Olympic Trials, adding the 50m breaststroke in personal best time of 30.28 to her 100m breaststroke pb of 1:05.56 \u2013 the equal 9th<\/sup> fastest all-time Australian with Lorna Tonks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The women\u2019s 200m breaststroke saw Bond\u2019s Jenna Strauch <\/strong>(2:23.78) grab a narrow victory in thrilling finish with Moreton Bay\u2019s US Collegiate star Calypso Sheridan<\/strong> (2:23.83) with Olympians Taylor McKeown<\/strong> (2:26.87) and Tessa Wallace<\/strong> (2:28.93) third and fourth respectively.<\/p>\n

Dual Olympian Mitch Larkin<\/strong> (St Peters Western) claimed training partner Clyde Lewis\u2019<\/strong> Queensland All Comers record with his time of 1:53.03 in the 200IM with Sheridan winning the women\u2019s 200IM in 2:10.96 from McKeown (2:14.51) and Yeronga Park\u2019s Rio 10km Olympian Chelsea Gubecka<\/strong> (2:q14.82) third.<\/p>\n

While Moreton Bay\u2019s Minna Atherton<\/strong> showed why she will be tough to hold off as she works towards qualifying for her first Olympics, completing the backstroke treble, adding the 50m backstroke in 27.17.<\/p>\n

The men\u2019s breaststroke events saw Chandler Swim Club’s Tokyo aspirant and world championship finalist, Zac Stubblety-Cook<\/strong> (2:06.04) score a comfortable win in the 200m breaststroke while Liam Hunter <\/strong>(59.00) had earlier beaten Stubblety-Cook (59.09) in the hard fought 100m final.<\/p>\n

While Rackley\u2019s Louis Townsend<\/strong> (21.96) in the 50m freestyle and (27.43) in the 50m breaststroke added two titles to his 100IM championship as she showed his versatility and Meg Harris<\/strong> (St Peters Western) concluded her solid meet with victory in the 50m freestyle in 25.03.<\/p>\n
