NSW State Open: Mollie O’Callaghan Topples Ariarne Titmus As St Peters Western Sweeps 200m Freestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Australian swimming’s 18-year-old shaker and mover, Mollie O\u2019Callaghan<\/strong>, held her nerve to topple Olympic champion and training partner Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> in an epic 200m freestyle final in a fitting climax to the 2023 NSW<\/a> State Open Championships at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

In what was a preview of bigger things to come later in the season, rising star O\u2019Callaghan led an all-star St Peters Western, QLD podium finish, timing her powerful final 50m to perfection to win the NSW 200m title in 1:55.27 from Titmus (1:55.53) with Shayna Jack <\/strong>(1:57.29) who led the field bravely through the first 100m, a gallant third.<\/p>\n

It places the world champion in the 100m freestyle from Budapest last year at No 3 in the world for 2022-23 behind Canadian wunderkind Summer McIntosh\u2019s <\/strong>world junior record of 1:54.13 and Katie Ledecky\u2019s<\/strong> 1:54.96, with Titmus equal fourth with Hong Kong\u2019s Siobhan Haughey.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a rare achievement, Australia\u2019s premier club provided the top four finishers with two-time Olympian Brianna Throssell<\/strong> claiming fourth place in 1:57.85 and \u00a0another St Peters Western girl, Eve Thomas <\/strong>sixth in 1:59.19.<\/p>\n

A sixth St Peters Western swimmer Kiah Melverton<\/strong>, who was a member of the world record breaking 4x200m freestyle relay team in Birmingham, finished second in the B final in 2:00.82 behind emerging Bond, QLD 16-year-old Milla Jansen<\/strong> in 2:00.26.<\/p>\n

All the more remarkable after head coach Dean Boxall\u2019s<\/strong> punishing training camp to Thailand and following the Australian Dolphins Camp on the Gold Coast, with the St Peters girls and many others here at this meet in “a world of hurt” due to their heavy training loads.<\/p>\n

But it is another enormous show of strength and the depth of not only the St Peters Western program, but re-affirming Australia\u2019s super depth in the countdown to this year\u2019s World Championships and next year\u2019s Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n

The Australian team of SPW trio Titmus, O\u2019Callaghan, Melverton and Madi Wilson<\/strong> \u2013 who cut her teeth under Michael Bohl<\/strong> at St Peters Western early in her career \u2013 set the only world record in Birmingham and will be the team to beat in the count down to 2024.<\/p>\n

Olympic gold has eluded the Australians since Beijing in 2008 and it looks like the Dolphins will again have a plethora of talent to choose from over the next two years with the race just to be on the Australian team sure be just as fierce as the Olympics themselves.<\/p>\n

Also in tonight\u2019s final was four-time FINA World SC champion Lani Pallister <\/strong>(Griffith University, QLD) who finished fifth in tonight\u2019s final 1:58.68, Olympic 4x100m freestyle relay gold medallist Meg Harris<\/strong> (Marion, SA) 1:59.48 seventh followed by emerging teens Olivia Wunsch<\/strong> (Carlile, NSW) 2:00.22 and Isabella Boyd<\/strong> (Nunawading, VIC) 2:00.74.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Callaghan, Wilson, Pallister and Leah Neale<\/strong> combined to shatter the SC World record in 4x200m freestyle in Melbourne last December.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile star of the meet Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> finished her campaign in style, adding two more gold medals in the 200IM and the 50m backstroke to her world record breaking 200m backstroke on the opening night and her fastest time this year to win the 100m backstroke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

McKeown\u2019s winning time in the medley of 2:08.27 was a new NSW All-Comers record, only 0.08 outside her best of 2:08.19, set in 2019 and 0.24 seconds outside Canadian McIntosh\u2019s leading world time of 2:08.08 \u2013 set at last week\u2019s Tyr Pro Series in Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n

In other events:<\/p>\n

While Tokyo debutant, Carlile’s Se-Bom Lee<\/strong> added the 400IM gold to his 200IM win from last night in another classic neck-and-neck battle with Nunawading teenager Will Petric<\/strong>, Lee winning in 4:17.79 from Petric in 4:18.74 and his Nunawading team mate Elliot Rogerson<\/strong> (4:22.83)<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s most successful Olympic and Commonwealth Games medallist clocked her personal best times of 2:07.37 and 2:07.49 back in 2017.<\/p>\n
