Aussie Teen Sensation Kaylee McKeown Sizzles Down Under with a World Class 100m Backstroke Time of 58.11<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right out of the blue in Queensland this afternoon, 19-year-old Australian Olympic hopeful Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> has clocked the fourth fastest 100m backstroke time in history at the low key Medal Shots Long Course Preparation Meet at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre.<\/p>\n

With the world focused on short course, McKeown, the World Championship silver medallist over 200m backstroke last year, clocked a sizzling long course personal best of 58.11 (out in 28.70 and home in 29.41) \u2013 a time that would have won her every Olympic gold medal in history.<\/p>\n

And all bar one of the Fina World Championships \u2013only the 2017 title won by Canada\u2019s Kyle Masse<\/strong> in Budapest in 2017 (in a then world record time of 58.10 \u2013 so the barest of margins) has ever been won in a quicker time.<\/p>\n

Current world record holder Regan Smith<\/strong> (USA) 57.57 and previous world record holders Kathleen Baker<\/strong> (USA) 58.00 and two-time world champion and Commonwealth record holder, Masse are ahead of McKeown in what is very much a \u201clive\u201d leaderboard in the race to Tokyo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And only….if we can say that, 0.54secs outside Smith\u2019s world record set at the 2019 World Championships in Gwangju when she led off the all-conquering US women\u2019s medley relay \u2013 after not qualifying for an individual spot.<\/p>\n

Baker\u2019s time of 58 flat was swum to win the US Nationals in 2018.<\/p>\n

So low key was today\u2019s event at Chandler that McKeown\u2019s new Australian and Australian All-Comers record times actually came and went with hardly a ripple.<\/p>\n

No fan-fare\u2026no commentary\u2026no live TV, no media, no cameras, no presentation\u2026.no mention over the public address..just a very fast swim indeed.<\/p>\n

McKeown knew and her coach knew that she produced the best swim of her short career as she sets her sights on making the 2021 Tokyo Olympic team \u2013 which in Australia is no mean feat with Seebohm setting her sights on her fourth Olympics and Gwangju 100m silver medallist and world short course record holder Minna Atherton<\/strong>, also in the fast lane, leading the charge.<\/p>\n

McKeown\u2019s time lowered Seebohm\u2019s records \u2013 her eight-year-old Australian record of 58.23 set at the London Olympics in 2012 and the All-Comers (fastest time swum in Australia) record of 58.62, set at the same Brisbane Aquatic Centre in 2017.<\/p>\n

And in many respects the low key, under the radar feel certainly suits the McKeown camp.<\/p>\n

In fact that\u2019s just the way her astute coach Chris Mooney<\/strong> at the University of Sunshine Coast (USC Spartans Swim Team) likes it\u2026.not too much fuss\u2026.a performance to celebrate of course \u00a0but not one to get overly carried away with.<\/p>\n

The way the day panned out was certainly not in the \u201cnormal category\u201d that\u2019s for sure as swimmers from all over Queensland converged into the Brisbane pool chasing qualifying times for the State Long Course Championships next month.<\/p>\n

As the rest of the State headed to the beach to take full advantage of the 30 plus temperatures, the Aquatic Centre had a real \u201cit\u2019s hot like Tokyo\u201d feel to it.<\/p>\n

There were no heats and finals, just a straight out swim but the scheduling saw the multi-talented youngster clock a personal best 400m freestyle at around 12.45pm in Saturday morning\u2019s first session \u2013 where she negative split her personal best, clocking 4:10.67 (2:05.84 and 2:04.83).<\/p>\n

McKeown swam down, had lunch and prepared for a 2:10pm start time for the afternoon session and the 100m backstroke and a stunning performance that while it was a surprise to many \u2013 not so to coach Mooney.<\/p>\n

When Swimming World<\/em> tracked him down, Mooney\u2019s first words were\u2026.\u201cThere\u2019s a nice little surprise for you\u2026.and she\u2019s stoked\u2026.and it came after her 400m freestyle personal best\u2026.and I was stoked too with that negative split swim.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came up with a race plan (for the 100m backstroke), she dropped the hammer on it and the rest is history.<\/p>\n

\u201cKaylee has been training well, she is very compliant\u2026she wants to be the best and I think she has got a real sound idea of what it takes to be the best and our plan last year was to be the best we could in January and she did that in Adelaide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Tokyo Olympics was then cancelled and you may ask \u2018What do we do ?\u2026.and the answer is we don\u2019t change anything\u2019 we just try and become one percent better and four percent better here and there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe plan doesn\u2019t change, we want to be better this January than we were last January \u2013 but it has happened in November instead of January IO guess.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just nice, it means we are on the right track, she did an amazing job during Covid \u2013 she has tackled some hurdles\u00a0and she is just one heck of an athlete.<\/p>\n

Kaylee and her 2016 Olymian sister Taylor lost their father and their inspiration, Sholto McKeown in August this year<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m actually a little bit lost for words I guess \u2013 but happy for her but we\u2019ve still got a lot of work to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe instruction at the start of the day was that we don\u2019t do a lot of 400s so we want to negative split that or even split that and she did exactly that and I told her \u2018job well done\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cShe went and swam down and had something to eat and after she warmed up for the 100m backstroke she said what\u2019s the race plan?<\/p>\n

\"Chris

WETTING OUR WHISTLE: Kaylee McKeown’s 100m backstroke swim is a sign of things to come and coach Chris Mooney may well have reason to ‘whistle dixie” Photo Courtesy: Delly Carr (Swimming Australia).<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cAnd I said well the race plan is to control that first 50m \u2013 and we know what our target time is to go out in when it comes time to race and she stuck to the race plan and she showed that her skills have really improved.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe knows what the best in the world is doing and if we want to be the best in the world those skills needed to improve and they have improved but we\u2019ve still got improvement in us.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course we are happy and we will celebrate a great swim but we know we\u2019ve still got a lot of work to do but we are just happy that what we are doing is working in a way that can produce a result like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are just excited by what\u2019s ahead, we\u2019ve still got to focus, we\u2019ve still got a goal and we\u2019ve still got plenty of time to make those improvements and that\u2019s exactly what we are going to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bottom line is we\u2019ve got to be ready when it comes time. The job is not done yet, there is still work to do, but we are on the right track.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not going to get too carried away, we are just going to take some confidence away from it.\u201d<\/p>\n

You get the impression that coach Mooney, who plied his trade under Olympic gold medal winning coach Denis Cotterell at Miami on the Gold Coast before taking on the Head Coach role at the University of Hawaii, has a live one on his hands.<\/p>\n

And they both know exactly where they are going and what it\u2019s going to take to get there.<\/p>\n
