WA\u2019s Inez Miller<\/strong> and Queensland\u2019s Mikayla Bird<\/strong> shared the spoils \u2013 winning 14 medals between them \u2013 seven each \u2013 including three gold each from their 14 events.<\/p>\n

And they join the likes of Olympic and World champions Jodie Henry, Linda Mackenzie, Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> and Shayna Jack <\/strong>who have all left their gold medal stamp as Commonwealth Youth champions \u2013 Titmus, Jack, Jenna Forrester, Jack Cartwright<\/strong>, and Bradley Woodward<\/strong> all members of the 2015 team who were team mates on this year\u2019s successful World\u2019s team in Fukuoka.<\/p>\n

Miller, from Perth\u2019s St Hilda\u2019s School Aquatics Club, won the 200m (2:00.36) and 400m (4:14.97) freestyle double and Bird (Bond Swimming, QLD) the 100m (1:00.15) and 200m (2:12.66) butterfly double.<\/p>\n

The third gold came in the Mixed 4x200m freestyle relay when they combined with fellow Queenslander Jye Bennion<\/strong> and Victorian Harvey Larke<\/strong> for a decisive victory.<\/p>\n

Bennion (St Peters Western, QLD) started out in a 1:52.53 before handing over to Larke (Melbourne Vicentre, VIC) who split 1:51.87 and the rest was left up to Bird (2:01.21) and Inez (2:00.13) to deliver the goods and they did it in style.<\/p>\n

The Australian foursome won the gold in a time of 7:45.74, swimming way from England (7:53.44) and Wales (7.53.44).<\/p>\n

Bennion gave an insight into the team strength, revealing they had come together not knowing anyone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were strangers, but we\u2019ve grown together and are fast becoming a bit of a family. I feel like compared to the other countries we\u2019ve gelled in a big way,\u201d said Bennion.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to get a team medal. It brings the enthusiasm among the group.\u201d<\/p>\n

Further individual medals came for Inez, who won silver in the 100m freestyle (55.59) and bronze in the 50m freestyle (25.59) while Bird won bronze to Miller in the 200m freestyle (2:01.78) and bronze in the 50m butterfly in 27.07.<\/p>\n

Miller and Bird certainly earnt their MVP status along with Bennion and Harvey with the foursome combining again to take bronze in the Mixed 4x100m freestyle relay and with Clancy Luscombe<\/strong> (Marion, SA) and Samuel Higgs<\/strong> (Warringah, NSW) to also take bronze in the Mixed 4x100m medley relay on the final night.<\/p>\n

A swimmer from the age of seven, Miller believes the Commonwealth Youth Games will support shifting her mindset from one of great enthusiasm to that of high performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe experience\u2026..tells me that I want this. I want to use this experience to aid in shifting my ambitions with swimming,\u201d Miller added.<\/p>\n

While Bird was quick to laud the influence of Paralympic legend and Australian Team General Manager,\u00a0Ellie Cole OAM,<\/strong> with the 17-time Paralympic medallist providing an environment that inspires the best. \u201cEllie is so incredible. To have her here with us at the pool has been incredible. We\u2019re very lucky,\u201d said Bird.<\/p>\n

Amongst other individual medallists were Larke and Lillie McPherson<\/strong> (Manly, NSW) who were late additions to the original 10-member team \u2013 Larke also coming from an outside lane to snatch bronze in the 200m freestyle in 1:51.64.<\/p>\n

The self-declared unexpected medallist capitalised not only on his late inclusion on the team roster but also on his last minute call up to the field for the final, storming home from lane eight to win an impressive bronze behind local hero\u00a0Nikoli Blackman<\/strong>, who won gold in 1:49.94.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m stoked. I was an emergency after the heats\u2026so it\u2019s unreal,\u201d said Larke.<\/p>\n

While McPherson, who missed bronze in the 50m butterfly by 0.02 behind Bird, won a deserved silver in the 100m butterfly (1:00.80) \u2013 again behind teammate Bird, the pair standing proudly on the podium for Advance Australia Fair.<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s other two gold medals came from Brisbane\u2019s Iona College pair of Zoe Ammundsen <\/strong>who set a Youth Games Record of 28.71 to win the 50m backstroke and teammate Hannah Allen<\/strong> who won the 800m freestyle gold in 8:48.66.<\/p>\n

Allen also won silver behind Inez the 400m freestyle in 4:18.72 to re-affirm Australia\u2019s female freestyle depth.<\/p>\n

Ammundsen, a finalist in the World Championship Trials in Melbourne, also won silvers in the 100m (1:01.98) and 200m (2:16.42) backstroke finals to signal her exciting future in Australia\u2019s female stocks.<\/p>\n

Other medals came from Poppy Stephen <\/strong>(Nudgee, QLD), bronze in the 200m butterfly in 2:13.34 and Tommy Lane<\/strong> (Haileybury, VIC), bronze in the 1500m freestyle in 15:31.38.<\/p>\n
