Australian Trials: Olympic Gold Medal Foursome To Lead 38-Strong Dolphins Swim Team For Fukuoka World Championships<\/strong><\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s Tokyo Olympic gold medallists Ariarne Titmus, Emma McKeon, Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> and Zac Stubblety-Cook<\/strong> will be joined by the son of a gun and a reincarnated Cameron McEvoy<\/strong> in a 38-strong Dolphins Swim Team for next month\u2019s World Aquatic Championships in Fukuoka, Japan.<\/p>\n

Swimming Australia<\/a> named the team after the six-day Trials meet concluded at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre \u2013 adding 30 swimmers to the already selected open water members.<\/p>\n

It will be one of the most experienced swim teams to represent at a recent World Championships with 19-year-old Kai Taylor <\/strong>(St Peters Western, QLD) \u2013 the son of Australian swimming team legend Hayley Lewis,<\/strong> the only rookie on the pool team.<\/p>\n

Taylor caused a major boilover<\/a> and one of the stories of the week when he won the 200m freestyle from lane eight after finishing ninth in the morning heats \u2013 gaining his place in the final after Kyle Chalmers withdrew.<\/p>\n

Kai joins mum Hayley, one of Australia\u2019s most decorated World Championship and Olympic representatives, who herself won World Championship gold from lane eight in 1991 in Perth and completing a decorated decade long career in 2001 with bronze in the five-kilometre open water World Championship \u2013 ironically also swum in Fukuoka.<\/p>\n

The team comprises 20 men and 18 women \u2013 with Queensland\u2019s Moesha Johnson<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) earning the distinction of making the pool team in the 1500m freestyle after already qualifying in the open water team in five-kilometre event.<\/p>\n

Johnson (16:03.02) finished second to Gold Coast Aquatic Centre training partner Lani Pallister <\/strong>(15:56.31) in the 1500m freestyle tonight \u2013 Pallister adding the longest pool event to the 400, 800 and the 4x200m freestyle relay after an impressive week\u2019s racing.<\/p>\n

Madeleine Gough <\/strong>(Carlile, NSW) 16:21.68 finished third in the 1500 and she had already qualified along with Johnson on the Open Water team, Gough to swim the 10km event.<\/p>\n

And it was a day to remember for triple Olympian McEvoy, coached by Tim Lane<\/strong> at Somerville House, QLD, who is the oldest member of the men\u2019s team at 29.<\/p>\n

McEvoy made the biggest splash of the final day when he rocketed to the top of the world rankings in the morning\u2019s heats with his sizzling top of the world rankings time of 21.27, backing up with another impressive qualifying time of 21.41 in the final to secure his place on the team.<\/p>\n

A bigger, stronger and faster McEvoy completed a spectacular re-entry with his two world-class 50s after his eye-catching 50m butterfly earlier the meet \u2013 swimming his fastest times in seven years and setting the tongues wagging all around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in a great spot and it\u2019s great to be back,\u201d said McEvoy after his impressive 50m freestyle foray.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a lot of fun getting down to the nitty gritty with the dive and the first 15 metres\u2026and everything around that and getting a real appreciation for really how hard it is to nail the 50m freestyle from an execution point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n

With dual Olympian Madi Wilson (Marion, SA), a crucial member of Australia\u2019s 4×100 and 4x200m freestyle relays, also 29, the oldest member of a women\u2019s team that is arguably the best in the world.<\/p>\n

The youngest members of the team are 18-year-olds Flynn Southam <\/strong>(Bond Swimming, QLD) and Abbey Connor<\/strong> (USC Spartans, QLD) \u2013 who both debuted on last year\u2019s Commonwealth Games team in Birmingham \u2013 and continued to make a splash in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Southam further announced his arrival as a world class individual freestyler with his impressive 47.77 to finish second to Kyle Chalmers (47.44) in a slashing 100m freestyle final on night five giving Australia a two-pronged attack in swimming\u2019s blue ribband event.<\/p>\n

While former Sydneysider Connor, who had quit the sport earlier in the year, made a spirited comeback to make the team in the 200m butterfly after a career-saving move to coach Mick Palfrey<\/strong> on the Sunshine Coast.<\/p>\n

World champions Stubblety-Cook (Chandler, QLD) 200m breaststroke; McKeown (Griffith University, QLD) 200m backstroke and St Peters Western pair Elijah Winnington<\/strong> in the men\u2019s 400m freestyle and Mollie O\u2019Callaghan<\/strong> in women\u2019s 100m freestyle will all be defending their world titles from Budapest last year.<\/p>\n

Queensland swimmers again dominate the team with a whopping 28 representatives, with four from SA, three from NSW, two from WA and one from Victoria.<\/p>\n

The team has a record 10 representatives from the Dean Boxall<\/strong> squad at St Peters Western Lutheran College in Brisbane, five from the Michael Bohl<\/strong> squad representing Griffith University from the Gold Coast and four from the Peter Bishop<\/strong> group in Adelaide South Australia, representing Marion, SA.<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s 50m freestyle:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cameron McEvoy<\/strong> (Somerville House, QLD) followed his sizzling 50m heat win in 21.27 with a winning time of 21.44 in an equally impressive performance \u2013 the two fastest times of the year so far – finishing ahead of Thomas Nowakowski<\/strong> (Somerset, QLD) 21.89 and Isaac Cooper <\/strong>(St Andrews, QLD) 22.00.<\/p>\n

Jack saying: \u201cI\u2019m just proud to get that win tonight; my preparation has been great and having Dean and everyone around me to do the job I need to do here as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the fastest freestylers in the world here (in Australia) so it\u2019s a tough competition \u2026.and we all come to the pool each day and have respect for each other and for how hard we all train and without that competition we wouldn\u2019t have the fastest girls in the world\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI keep using the word redemption and for me it is a word that describes what I\u2019m going through and all the things I\u2019m trying to achieve is redemption for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
