Sydney Sprints: Aussie Lani Pallister and USA’s David Johnston In Record Blitz At Aussie Short Course Champs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s\u00a0Lani Pallister<\/b>\u00a0and the USA\u2019s\u00a0David Johnston<\/b> have set the Sydney Olympic pool alight smashing two National records between them on the opening night of the Sydney Sprints meet and 2022 Australian Short Course Championships.<\/p>\n

First it was 20-year-old Pallister<\/a> (Griffith University, QLD) who took off on a solo 64-lap short course journey to break her own Australian record with a time of 15:24.63 – taking 3.70secs off her own mark set back in 2020.<\/p>\n

The World Long Course and Commonwealth Games medallist and Paris Olympic hopeful maintained her ranking as the fourth fastest performer in short course swimming history clocking a series of impressive splits; 1:59.72; 4:03.50 and 8:12.07 to book her place on the World Short Course Team for the December Fina World\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the night Pallister (1:53.81) had finished third behind\u00a0Madi Wilson<\/b> (Marion) who clocked an impressive personal best of 1:52.55 and Leah Neale\u00a0<\/b>(Chandler, QLD) 1:53.22pb in the 200m freestyle final to continue a dominant year for Australia’s female freestylers.<\/p>\n

And then it was Texas Longhorn David Johnston\u2019s<\/strong> turn ton re-write the record books in one the most eye-catching swims of the night – clocking 7:30.41 (53.38; 1:49.43; 3:43.38) to surprise even himself – as he smashed a long-standing US National SC record – held by Michael McBroom<\/b> at 7:33.99 since 2013.<\/p>\n

Looking at his 100m splits, Johnston timed his race to perfection going out in 53.38 before setting an even pace over the next 600s in 56.05; 56.76; 57.19; 57.03; 57.16 and 57.07 before storming home over the final four-laps in 55.77.<\/p>\n

Looking at the scoreboard, Johnston fuelled by USA\u2019s Duel In The Pool triumph, was in disbelief, slapping the water and jumping on the lane rope, hugging his team mates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe it really, after the Duel win I knew I was in good shape and I was determined to continue to have fun, with no pressure and that\u2019s just awesome,\u201d said Johnston.<\/p>\n

Only world record holder\u00a0Grant Hackett\u00a0<\/b>(Australia) 7:23.42,\u00a0Yannick Angel<\/b>\u00a0(France) and\u00a0Gregorio Paltrinieri\u00a0<\/b>(Italy) 7:30.31 have ever swum faster.<\/p>\n

Second home to Johnston was one of Australia\u2019s favourite swimming sons in Olympic champion\u00a0Mack Horton<\/b>\u00a0(Griffith University, QLD) in 7:39.71 with Miami\u2019s 21-year-old newcomer\u00a0Alexander Grant\u00a0<\/b>(7:40.18) both under the World Championship qualifying time.<\/p>\n

In other events, 100m breaststroke trio\u00a0Chelsea Hodges\u00a0<\/b>(Southport, QLD) 1:04.78pb,\u00a0Jenna Strauch\u00a0<\/b>(Miami, QLD) 1:05.20 finished 1-2 in the women\u2019s 100m and\u00a0Sam Williamson<\/b>\u00a0(Melbourne Vicente, VIC) 57.01 won the men\u2019s – all under the World\u2019s QT, with Williamson a fingernail outside the National record.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
