It was a big night out for three teenage boys from Bond University, Bundaberg and the Blue Mountains who embarked on a record breaking second night of finals at the Australian Age Championships on the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

Bond Swimming\u2019s Flynn Southam<\/strong> showed why he is one of Australian swimming\u2019s latest excitement machines \u2013 breaking his own Australian 15 Years and All Comers 100m freestyle records clocking an impressive 49.55.<\/p>\n

Pulling away from the field at full flight with 25 metres to go, the rising star took 0.10 off the record he set at the Queensland State Championships \u2013 faster than 2016 Olympic champion Kyle Chalmers<\/strong> at the same age.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a good feeling, but the job\u2019s not done, I\u2019ve still got a big week ahead of me,\u201d Southam said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll process it and then move on to the next race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next up was the boy from Bundaberg Isaac Cooper who 24 hours after his 50m freestyle win re-wrote the boys 17 years Australian Age and All Comers 100m backstroke records, stopping the clock in in 54.56, taking Alex Graham\u2019s time set in 2013 by .31secs.<\/p>\n

An ecstatic Cooper, born in Bundaberg, educated in Toowoomba and now in Brisbane for University and training with Damien Jones<\/strong> at Rackley, Centenary, was pleased his hard work is paying off, saying: \u201cFeels amazing, I\u2019ve been training for this for so long.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year I missed the record by 0.40 of a second so to come back and thrash it, it\u2019s a massive relief off my shoulders, we just worked harder and harder and it\u2019s really paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n

And to finish off the record breaking came the boy from the Blue Mountains Alex Buckingham<\/strong> (SOPAC).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Buckingham smashed club mate Matt Wilson\u2019s<\/strong> 17 years Australian and All Comers record in the 100m breaststroke \u2013 clocking a time of 1:02.08 \u2013 faster than Wilson\u2019s 2015 time of 1:02.31.<\/p>\n

And ironically both boys hail from the Blue Mountains region \u2013 one of the most picturesque tourist destinations in NSW \u2013 and now being made famous in the swimming world by Wilson \u2013 who set a world record in 2019 and a kid who is quickly following in his footsteps.<\/p>\n

While Buckingham set a new record he was pushed all the way by Nunawading\u2019s William Petric<\/strong> who clocked his personal best time of 1:02.76 with fellow Victorian Issac Ballinger<\/strong> (1:04.48) third<\/p>\n

And while it wasn\u2019t a record breaking swim, it was still an eye-catcher, featuring three emerging freestyle stars in Rackley\u2019s Sam Short<\/strong> who managed to keep Kai Taylor<\/strong> (St Peters Western) and Maximillian Giuliani<\/strong> (The Hobart Aquatic Centre) at bay in the 200m freestyle final \u2013 Short powering to victory in 1:47.69 to Taylor\u2019s 1:49.81 with Giuliani third in 1:50.85.<\/p>\n

And not wanting to be left out, Cairns swimming sensation Ike Martinez<\/strong> (TAS Swimming) collected his third gold medal of the meet, blitzing the field from lane four in the boys 14 Years 400m freestyle in a time of 4:04.51.<\/p>\n

Trying to chase him down from lanes five and three was MCA\u2019s James Leigh<\/strong> and City of Sydney\u2019s Marcus Da Silva,<\/strong> however Martinez was too strong for the duo. Leigh clocked 4:08.26 to receive silver and Da Silva followed narrowly behind in 4:08.90 to bag bronze.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ella Ramsay<\/strong> from St Peters Western once again showed her mettle in the pool, this time taking the spoils in both the girls 16-years 50m freestyle and the 16 Years 100m breaststroke.<\/p>\n

The freestyle event proved to be an absolute nail biter, with Ramsay just managing to scrap in ahead of Wests Illawarra\u2019s Chelsea Jones<\/strong>, with only two one hundredths of a second separating the duo at the final touch \u2013 25.77 to 25.79.<\/p>\n

Jones\u2019 teammate from Wests Illawarra Sydney Brown<\/strong> rounded out the podium in 25.92. While in the breaststroke Ramsay posted 1:09.61 to triumph over, Matilda Smith<\/strong> (The Hobart Aquatic) who took home silver in 1:09.98 and Charlotte Hansen<\/strong> (Rackley) who received bronze in 1:10.95.<\/p>\n

Rockhampton\u2019s 14-year-old Taryn Roberts<\/strong> had to wait until the last event of the night to add to her impressive medal tally \u2013 winning her third gold of the titles in the 800m freestyle in an impressive 8:48.41.<\/p>\n

And Bond\u2019s Mikayla Bird<\/strong> added a gold medal to her list of achievements after securing the Age title in the Girls 13-year 100m Butterfly.<\/p>\n

Gliding to the finish line and swooping the top honour in 1:02.05, Bird edged out Nelson Bay\u2019s Ebony Nix<\/strong> (1:03.20) and Geelong\u2019s Matilda Brynes<\/strong> (1:04.25).<\/p>\n

It was an MLC Flippers trifecta in the Girls 16-years 400m Freestyle as Sunshine Coast surf–swim star Jamie Perkins<\/strong> (Cotton Tree), went head-to-head with Tiana Kritzinger<\/strong> (Nudgee College) and Lucinda Macleod (Griffith University) with Perkins surging to the title in 4:13.72 ahead Kritzinger (4:14.35) and Macleod (4:15.68).<\/p>\n
