Australia\u2019s \u201cSuper Macs\u201d of the pool Emma McKeon<\/strong> and Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> have turned up the heat in Sydney today clocking two world class swims at the Sydney Open, as the countdown to Tokyo 2021 hots up.<\/p>\n

McKeon, at 26 and the star of the Australian women\u2019s team in Rio, turned on the after burners on the second 50m in the highly anticipated 100m freestyle to clock a personal best time and new NSW All-Comers record of 52.29 (bettering Cate Campbell\u2019s 2018 time of 52.37) and improving her standing inside the top six 100m freestylers in history and another victory over Campbell, who she beat in last month\u2019s Australian Championships on the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

Nineteen-year-old McKeown (USC Spartans) \u2013 heading towards her first Olympics – smashed her own Commonwealth and Australian records and set a new NSW All-Comers mark, clocking 2:04.31 in the 200m backstroke \u2013 the number one time in the world over the last 18 months as Australian swimmers prepare for Japan\u2019s morning finals program.<\/p>\n

McKeown\u2019s arrival over the last two years sets up a classic Olympic showdown with US world record holder Regan Smith,<\/strong> with both girls now setting their immediate sights on their respective Selection Trials next month.<\/p>\n

Smith owns the two fastest times in history \u2013 her 2019 world record of 2:03.35 and the previous world record of 2:03.69, followed by 2012 Olympic champion Missy Franklin<\/strong>\u2019s previous seven-year world record of 2:04.06 and now McKeown\u2019s 2:04.31 and her previous best of 2:04.49.<\/p>\n

The Australian Trials are set down for Adelaide\u2019s SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre from June 12-17 where she will take on triple Olympian Emily Seebohm<\/strong>, second today in 2:07.06 and her Griffith University team mate Jess Unicomb<\/strong> third today in 2:13.53 as well as World championship silver medallist and world short course record holder over 100m backstroke Minna Atherton <\/strong>(Moreton Bay).McKeown said she and coach Chris Mooney<\/strong> had a plan to \u201creally take it out hard last night (in the heats)\u201d acting as if it was the finals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI planned to come back this morning and see what we could do so I\u2019m pretty impressed that we were able back up some pretty good swims,\u201d said McKeown.<\/p>\n

BACK SPLASH: Kaylee McKeown, up close courtesy of the ‘photo ninja’ Delly Carr (SOPAC)<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI just trusted myself a bit more in the first 100m today to get out a little faster which did hurt a lot in the back-end but I did a really good solid time, so I\u2019m happy with that.<\/p>\n

\u201dIt\u2019s always our plan to put as much pressure on as we can at these meets to get the most race practice we can.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nothing compared to Trials and I\u2019m expecting a lot more nerves there.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it was 26-year-old National champion McKeon and the Dolphins MVP certainly set the pace earlier in the day with her eye-catching world best 100m freestyle time for 2021.<\/p>\n

McKeon has now rocketed into serious contention, not only for one of two Australian places in the 100m freestyle for Tokyo but as a major player for an Olympic medal \u2013 in what will be another jam-packed program that could potentially see her in seven or even eight events.<\/p>\n

On times, only Swedish world record holder Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong> (51.71), Cate Campbell<\/strong> (52.03), US and German Olympic champions Simone Manuel<\/strong> (52.04) and Britta Steffen<\/strong> (52.07) and Bronte Campbell<\/strong> (52.27) have ever swum faster.<\/p>\n

Cate Campbell (53.27) finished second to McKeon again today with Marion SA\u2019s ever-present Madi Wilson<\/strong> (53.78) third, WA\u2019s Brianna Throssell<\/strong> (54.90) fourth and Bronte Campbell<\/strong> (54.59) fifth.<\/p>\n

And McKeon\u2019s time over-took Cate Campbell\u2019s previous 2021 world best time of 52.43, set in the heats of the Australian Championships.<\/p>\n

McKeon will again meet the Campbell girls, Wilson, Throssell and the next generation sprinters, St Peters Western duo Mollie O\u2019Callaghan<\/strong> and Meg Harris<\/strong> at the Adelaide Trials in what will not only be a mouth watering showdown for those two individual spots but also Australia\u2019s world-beating 4x100m freestyle relay squad for Tokyo.<\/p>\n

The Michael Bohl<\/strong>-coached McKeon said she was \u201calways happy with a PB.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives me confidence racing the mornings and I\u2019ve just got a lot stronger and done a lot of work in the gym. That\u2019s where I think I\u2019ve made big gains,\u201d said McKeon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd every time I get to race Cate and be up against the best in the world it adds to my confidence and it\u2019s just good race practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always trained for the 100m. My training hasn\u2019t changed at all because of the relay and that\u2019s always such a strong event for Australia.”<\/p>\n
