Ariarne Titmus Adds 200m Freestyle To Winning Weekend<\/strong><\/p>\n

Records continued to tumble at the Sydney\u00a0Olympic Park\u00a0Aquatic Centre tonight with Tokyo golden girls Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> and Chelsea Hodges<\/strong> leading the way on the final night of the NSW State Open Championships<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Olympic champion<\/a> Titmus (St Peters Western, QLD) set her third NSW All-Comers record of the meet, streeting away in the 200m freestyle in 1:54.66 (27.20, 56.14; 1:25.47) \u2013 under Emma McKeon\u2019s previous mark of 1:55.38, set in 2020, with club mates Mollie O’Callaghan (1:56.29) and Kiah Melverton (1:56.89) making it a SPW trifecta.<\/p>\n

And it makes Titmus the equal fastest swimmer in the world for 2022, alongside none other than her US nemesis Katie Ledecky<\/strong> who swam 1:54.66 herself at last month\u2019s Sectional Championships in Florida.<\/p>\n

The pair, locked together in the battle for freestyle supremacy in Tokyo last year, now continue to race for top billing in the 200m freestyle rankings (Titmus and Ledecky, 1:54.66), the 400m (Titmus 4:00.03), the 800m freestyle (Ledecky 8:11.83) and the 1500m (Ledecky 15:39.45).<\/p>\n

Titmus\u2019 club mate Shayna Jack<\/strong> has rocketed to No 1 in the world over 50m freestyle (24.53) and the 100m freestyle (with her personal best time of 53.91) – as she continues to build her pathway back to the international scene.<\/p>\n

While Hodges (Southport Olympic, QLD), who swam the key breaststroke leg in Australia\u2019s victorious 4x100m medley relay\u00a0 at the Olympics, set the Sydney Olympic pool alight with a sizzling 50m breaststroke time of 30.17, a new NSW and Australian All-Comers record.<\/p>\n

The second fastest time ever by an Australian – just 0.01 outside Sarah Katsoulis<\/strong>\u2019 National record set in Rome at the World Championships back in 2009 \u2013 a milestone from an era of the now banned super-suit and a record under siege after more than a decade.<\/p>\n

And in one of the most thrilling finishes of the weekend, Carlile\u2019s Tokyo Olympian Se-Bom Lee<\/strong> (4:15.91) held off a fast finishing Tokyo bronze medallist Brendon Smith<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) 4:16.45 to win the gold in the grueling 400IM by just 0.54 \u2013 after leading with 100m to go by 2.64 seconds.<\/p>\n

Lee looked to have an unassailable lead but as he did in Tokyo, never-say-die Smith set off on the final two freestyle laps, running out of water in the end, with Lee winning a cat and mouse battle to the finish.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Griffith University\u2019s triple Olympic gold medallist Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> (27.61) added the 50m backstroke title to her 100 and 200m golds, just two events after winning the 200 IM with an all-the way win in 2:10.64 \u2013 for a four-gold meal haul.<\/p>\n

And in other events….<\/p>\n

Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth Dekkers<\/strong> (Newmarket Racers) raced away to a stunning victory, in the 200m butterfly, building her race through the second and third 50s to take the title in 2:08.85 – the start of a year that will surely see her receive the National team status she so thoroughly deserves.<\/p>\n

Tea Tree Gully Victoria\u2019s Brittany Castelluzzo<\/strong> (2:11.63) hung on in a thrilling finish for the minor medals with NSW teens Abbey Connor<\/strong> (Revesby Workers) 2:11.64 third and Bella Grant<\/strong> (Trinity Grammar) 2:12.26 \u00a0fourth \u00a0\u2013 both Sydney girls clocking personal best times.<\/p>\n

Olympic relay medallist and Australian record holder Matthew Temple<\/strong> (Marion, SA) powered away to take the win in 51.83 from a fast finishing Shaun Champion <\/strong>(Abbotsleigh, NSW) 52.68 with 200m winner Bowen Gough<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) 52.95 third and Cody Simpson<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) fourth in 53.10, just edging out dual-Olympian David Morgan (Miami, QLD) 53.10.<\/p>\n

Temple was later third in the 50m freestyle clocking 22.72 behind former WA sprinter Ashton Brinkworth<\/strong> (USC Spartans, QLD) 22.65 with Jack Cartwright<\/strong> (St Peters Western) 22.69 making a welcome return to the podium in third.<\/p>\n

Olympic champion Zac Stubblety-Cook<\/strong> and his fellow Tokyo Olympian and former world record holder Matthew Wilson<\/strong> both surged to the top of a world rankings list that needed some movers and shakers with a 2:08.38 winning time from Stubblety-Cook and an encouraging step forward with a 2:10.76 from Wilson for second.<\/p>\n

While in the women\u2019s 1500m freestyle it was three-time World Junior Champion Lani Pallister<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) who capped off a welcome return to racing.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old \u00a0turned her bronze medals in the 400m and 800m freestyles in world class fields led by Olympic gold medallist Ariarne Titmus with a gutsy win in the 1500m freestyle in 16:03.95 (2:04.47; 4:12.56; 8:29.97) \u2013 capping off a satisfying weekend.<\/p>\n

Australian five and 10km open water champion Moesha Johnson<\/strong>, also with Griffith University, finished second in 16:07.45, with Madeleine Gough<\/strong> (Chandler) third in 16:12.85.<\/p>\n

\"Hodge_1656\"<\/p>\n

Meanwhile it was three-time Tokyo Paralympic medallist, Timothy Hodge<\/strong> (Auburn, NSW) who ended his meet with two wins in the Multi-Class 100m backstroke (1:02.27) and the 200IM (2:14.70) \u2013 taking his gold medal tally to three after his 100m butterfly win earlier in the meet.<\/p>\n

Hodge (pictured left by Delly Carr<\/em>) the S9 silver medallist in Tokyo over 200 IM clocked a personal best time which certainly brought a smile to his face. Other final night wins came from 18-year-old Hannah Price<\/strong> (Campbelltown) who added the 100m backstroke in 1:15.70 to her 400m freestyle win.<\/p>\n

And Jasmine Greenwood <\/strong>\u00a0(Bay and Basin, NSW) in the women\u2019s 200IM (2:34.46); and Braedan Jason<\/strong> (USC Spartans) 54.53 and Emily Beecroft<\/strong> (USC Spartans) 1:04.16 in their respective 100m freestyles.<\/p>\n
