Queensland Champs, Day 2: Mollie O\u2019Callaghan, Ariarne Titmus and Kaylee McKeown Live Up To Their Star Billing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Local pin up girls Mollie O\u2019Callaghan, Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> and Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> were billed as the star attractions of this week\u2019s 2023 Hancock Prospecting Queensland<\/a> Championships at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre \u2013 and they lived up to all expectations on the opening night of individual finals.<\/p>\n

World champion O\u2019Callaghan delivered a new Queensland All-Comers Record, swimming alongside a relieved Olympic champion in Titmus who returned to competition with flying colours for the first time since undergoing abdominal surgery in September.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Callaghan (St Peters Western) powered \u00a0home over the final 100m to take out the 200m freestyle in a solid time of 1:54.36 (26.80; 56.24; 1:25.65) \u2013 a race she now describes as \u201cher baby\u201d after winning the world title in a new world record time of 1:52.85 in Fukuoka this year.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old admitting, she was that tired and mentally drained she was unsure how she was going to pull off her race tonight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely about racing with the mental aspect, you can be physically drained, but you need to stay mentally strong and push through it,\u201d said O\u2019Callaghan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to do well tonight to see how I\u2019d go, for me coming off worlds, having a break, then doing rehab, then getting sick for three weeks, I was mentally down and a bit up and down for a while.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was nervous about if I had done enough work to catch up so truthfully it\u2019s nice to get my main event done first up.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows I\u2019m a bit of a nervous racer especially for this one, it\u2019s my baby at the moment, I\u2019m not going to lie, I\u2019ve put allot into it, it\u2019s nice to get it done.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have three individual events tomorrow so I\u2019m interested to see how I go and if I can handle the fatigue.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was her fellow relay world champion and SPW teammate Shayna Jack<\/strong> who led the field through the first 100 in 55.25 before O\u2019Callaghan and Titmus (St Peters Western) tried with all her might to hang on \u2013 coming in second in 1:55.99.<\/p>\n

Titmus said after the heats this morning she had never swum \u201cso tired\u201d in all her life after managing her return to training just six weeks ago after undergoing abdominal surgery to remove benign tumors from one of her ovaries in September.<\/p>\n

Digging deep to clock 1:55.99 as backstroking queen McKeown (Griffith University) gate-crashed the freestyling podium to snatch third from lane nine in 1:56.14 \u2013 after dead-heating for ninth in the preliminary heats to scrape into the final.<\/p>\n

McKeown left behind noted freestylers Lani Pallister<\/strong> (Griffith University) 1:56.31, Brianna Throssell<\/strong> (St Peters Western) 1:56.99, Meg Harris <\/strong>(Rackley Swim Team) 1:57.56 and Kiah Melverton<\/strong> (St Peters Western) 1:58.76 before returning to her first love \u2013 the 100m backstroke.<\/p>\n

The triple world champion, who only just missed her own 50m backstroke world record in yesterday\u2019s inter-club medley relay, was back in the water later in the night this time clocking a new Queensland All-Comers record in winning the 100m backstroke in a time of 57.79 (28.38) \u2013 just 0.46 outside her own world mark of 57.33, set at the Budapest World Cup.<\/p>\n

McKeown showed why she is the world’s dominant backstroker, stop watches and cameras at bother ready every time she dives in for a race and she has a full book to go this eek with the women’s 100m freestyle, butterfly and breaststroke and the 200IM.<\/p>\n

Tonight she again showed her dominance, just 0.23 outside her own world record split at the 50m turn, powering home in 29.41 – for another world class swim ahead of 18-year-old WA rising star Iona Anderson (Breakers SC) 59.43 and the ever present O’Callaghan (59.53) with another emerging teenager, 16-year-old \u00a0Jaclyn Barclay (St Peters Western) 1:00.00.<\/p>\n

And as tired as Titmus felt this morning, she will sleep tonight, finishing off her busy day with a win in the 800m freestyle in 8:25.40 from SPW team mate Kiah Melverton (8:28.04) and New Zealand training partner Eve Thomas third in 8:31.55.<\/p>\n

Titmus saying she really didn\u2019t come into the meet with any expectations.<\/p>\n

“I felt like the 200m free was going to be the worst out of the three this week as I haven\u2019t got much speed. I said to myself this morning if I can crack 1.56 tonight, I\u2019ll be happy…So to go 1.55.99 I\u2019m pretty happy, I had no clue where I\u2019d be, it\u2019s just fun to get the suit back on and have a week away from training as it\u2019s been a bit of a grind coming into the meet,” said Titmus.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s great to get the race juices flowing again, sometimes when you\u2019re on break or you have a long time without racing you get in your own training worlds. That\u2019s when you start thinking maybe I\u2019m not ready and whether I want to race but then you get back into a race environment and it all comes back and it\u2019s a nice feeling.”<\/p>\n
