Queensland Championships, Day 1 Relays: Kaylee McKeown\u2019s Sizzling 26.98 – Just 0.12 outside Her Own 50m Backstroke World Record<\/strong><\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s world backstroking supremo Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) has kick-started her 2023 Hancock Prospecting Queensland Championship campaign in sizzling fashion \u2013 nudging her own 50m backstroke world record on the opening day at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old clocked a time of 26.98 \u2013 just 0.12 outside her world mark of 26.86 set in the final round of the World Cup Series in Budapest in October \u2013 the same time as the previous world record she broke, set by China\u2019s Lui Xiang<\/strong> at the 2018 Asian Games.<\/p>\n

McKeown clocked the time in the opening leg of the 200m Club Medley Relay for Griffith University, eventually won by St Peters Western (SPW) in a new Queensland and Queensland All-Comers Record \u2013 held by an all-star Chandler team since 2017.<\/p>\n

Ironically a Chandler team that included both Campbell sisters Bronte, who swam backstroke and Cate the butterfly \u2013 leaving a 19-year-old Shayna Jack<\/strong> to swim the anchor freestyle leg \u2013 just as she did today six years later for SPW.<\/p>\n

McKeown had earlier gone head-to-head with Jack in the 200m Freestyle Club relay, Jack clocking the fastest 50m lead-off split of the day of 24.49 to McKeown\u2019s fourth fastest time of 25.22.<\/p>\n

And for the SPW girls Jack, Mollie O\u2019Callaghan<\/strong> (24.56), Bri Throssell<\/strong> (25.01) and 16-year-old Jaclyn Barclay<\/strong> (25.24) they also erased the old Queensland records, clocking 1:39.30 \u2013 with the Campbell sisters and Jack also in the engine room in that team also in 2017.<\/p>\n

For McKeown, she will continue her week-long campaign on Day Two in the women\u2019s 200m freestyle which will feature world champion and world record holder O\u2019Callaghan, Olympic champion, and former world record holder Ariarne Titmus, <\/strong>in her return to racing after emergency surgery to remove benign tumors from one of her ovaries in September.<\/p>\n

And the ever-present Jack, when the battle begins for a place in Sunday night\u2019s final.<\/p>\n
