“There always is. Those 200 free boys – look at the top four, Olympic champions on the 4×2 – so there’s always going to be mutual respect because of what we’ve been through and the competition we race at together, two guys 1:44, it hasn’t happened since the Olympics.<\/p>\n
“Last year was a slight step back so it’s good it’s moving in that direction again.<\/p>\n
“What have we got? World Champs, trials and then it’s the Games so it all bodes well.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He too spoke of the depth of quality in the four-length event in Britain, saying:<\/p>\n
“It is exciting. I’d rather be on the top of the podium but an event like this is so tight that anything can happen really.<\/p>\n
“Like I said, this meet is more about the times than it is about the racing and then when you get to the summer it’s more about the racing than it is about the times.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Blocksidge Gets Ovation After “Best Birthday Present”<\/h4>\n
Amelie Blocksidge<\/strong> marked her 14th<\/sup> birthday by swimming the longest race in the pool after a week that has seen her win silver in 8:38 in the 800 and fifth in the 400, both British age group records.<\/p>\nThe teenager, coached by John Stout<\/strong> at City of Salford<\/strong>, led through 400 in 4:29.75 after she and Fleur Lewis<\/strong> pulled away from the field.<\/p>\nBlocksidge reached halfway ahead in 8:10.23 and moved away from Lewis to go through 1000 holding almost a two-second advantage in 10:54.11.<\/p>\n
The teenager extended her lead to take victory in 16:19.67, more than six seconds ahead of Lewis and the performance earned her an ovation at Ponds Forge.<\/p>\n
Lewis was next home in 16:25.78 with Michaella Glenister<\/strong> rounding out the podium in 16:44.51.<\/p>\nIt was a 12-second PB for Blocksidge and the 16th-fastest time by a British woman as she went eighth all-time in the domestic rankings, headed by Jazz Carlin<\/strong> and her national record of 15:47.26.<\/p>\nCarlin alone has been inside 16mins in British waters with Keri-Anne Payne, <\/strong>the 2008 10k silver medallist,<\/strong> going 16:06.67 and world, European and Commonwealth medallist Becky Cooke<\/strong> 16:14.70, only a little over five seconds quicker than Blocksidge. Exalted company indeed.<\/p>\nShe beamed:<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really happy, it\u2019s the best birthday present really, isn\u2019t it? I\u2019m over the moon.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Ponds Forge crowd were cheering her along, something she was aware of.<\/p>\n
“I could hear quite a lot of it: I\u2019ve got lots of my family in the crowd and got my granddad and granny in Australia watching me.<\/p>\n
“It helps me a lot knowing I\u2019ve got people behind me cheering me on, yeah, it really helps.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Blocksidge has mingled with Olympic and world champions in Sheffield this week, and she smiled:<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s really good swimming with Olympians, especially in the 400IM, a really good experience, loved it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And her ambitions for the future?<\/p>\n
“To break more British records!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Morgan Claims Backstroke Clean Sweep<\/h4>\n![\"Oliver](\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Oliver-Morgan-700x500.jpg\")

Ollie Morgan<\/strong>\u00a0was looking for a backstroke clean sweep having won both the 50 and 100 albeit without registering a consideration time.<\/p>\nHe led the way into the final in 1:58.78 ahead of Olympic bronze medallist\u00a0Luke Greenbank<\/strong>\u00a0in 1:59.12, the pair the only men inside 2mins.<\/p>\nCameron Brooker<\/strong> led through 50 in 27.07 with Brodie Williams<\/strong> going ahead from lane two in 56.46 at the halfway point.<\/p>\nThe Commonwealth champion still led at the final turn in 1:26.45 ahead of Charlie Brown<\/strong> and Brooker.<\/p>\nIt looked as though Williams was set for victory but Morgan came back with each stroke, passing Greenbank and then got the touch in 1:57.17, just 0.01 ahead of Williams (1:57.18).<\/p>\n
Greenbank was third in 1:57.67.<\/p>\n
While Morgan completed the backstroke sweep, it presents a real selector poser given no swimmer has posted a consideration time.<\/p>\n
Britain will want to ensure the men’s medley relay book their spot for Paris 2024<\/strong> in Fukuoka so who to select will be a poser.<\/p>\nMorgan said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn’t see all three coming, I can’t say I did. Training has been going really well, I knew there were going to be some good swims on the cards – but the treble is the dream.<\/u><\/p>\n
\u201cHe [coach Gary Humpage] doesn’t like to take much credit, but everything comes down to him – the philosophy he gives us all, the whole environment he makes is so enjoyable.<\/p>\n
“Everything I do outside of swimming, the discipline and everything, it’s a credit to him because it’s of all his mentoring he’s given me. The swims are pretty good, so to be on that World Championship team would mean the world.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Peters Flies To Top Of Rankings<\/strong><\/h4>\nJacob Peters<\/strong> completed the 50\/100 double with a commanding win in 22.89, 0.14 outside Ben Proud’<\/strong>s british record of 22.75 set at Budapest 2017 en-route to the world title.<\/p>\nIt elevated Peters to the top of the world rankings ahead of Thomas Ceccon<\/strong> and his 23.13 from the Lausanne Swim Cup<\/strong> in February.<\/p>\nProud – winner of the 50 free on Saturday – was second in 23.37 with Lewis Fraser<\/strong> completing the podium in 23.62.<\/p>\nHanlon Wins Second Gold<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"kara-hanlon-\"](\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/kara-hanlon-2023-TYR-Pro-Ft.Lauderdale-2756-Edit-700x500.jpg\")

To book an outright slot, one of the field had to do something no other British woman has done and go inside 1:06.<\/p>\n
Kara Hanlon<\/strong>\u00a0led the way\u00a0into the final with the Scot seeking to land the 50\/100 double following victory in the opening event of the meet.<\/p>\nImogen Clark<\/strong> reached halfway ahead of Hanlon by just 0.01 in 31.53 but the University of Edinburgh swimmer came back on the second 50 to touch in 1:06.83.<\/p>\nClark was second in 1:07.92 with Angharad Evans<\/strong> next home in 1:08.05.<\/p>\nScottish Record For Macinnes<\/h4>\n
A stringent qualification time means that to make or be considered for the team would entail the first journey inside 57 for a British woman.<\/p>\n
Keanna Macinnes<\/strong>\u00a0set the pace as the only woman inside 59 in prelims and she was second at halfway in 27.23, 0.16 behind leader Harriet Jones<\/strong> and ahead of Laura Stephens<\/strong>.<\/p>\nA tight race down the second 50 saw Macinnes take the win in 57.97 for a new Scottish record ahead of Stephens (58.14) and Jones (58.49).<\/p>\n
