Victorian Championships Night Two Finals: Olympic Golden Girls\u00a0Kaylee McKeown and Emma McKeon Lead Griffith Uni Domination<\/strong><\/p>\n

There must be something in the water at the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre with Griffith University top guns Emma McKeon, Kaylee McKeown, Lani Pallister<\/strong> and Cody Simpson<\/strong> dominating night two of the Victorian State Championships, at the Melbourne Sports And Aquatic Centre<\/p>\n

Amongst a host of world class highlights, came in the women\u2019s 100m backstroke final with Olympic champion and world record holder McKeown powering home in a world best number one time of 58.19.<\/p>\n

Although 0.86 outside her own world mark set last year, it was a time fast enough to have won this year\u2019s recent World Championship in Doha \u2013 with the competitive McKeown determined to send a clear message to the world that she means business in the 2024 Olympic year.<\/p>\n

And making it even more impressive, McKeown\u2019s performance came less than 30 minutes after she had clocked a personal best time of 4:06.85 to finish second to World Short Course champion Lani Pallister (4:03.03) in the 400m freestyle final.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another dominant force, five-time Olympic champion Emma McKeon<\/strong> also continued her outstanding form from night one with the 29-year-old powering away from the field to record a comfortable victory in the 100m butterfly in 56.40 \u2013 after her 53.00 to win the 100m freestyle on the opening night.<\/p>\n

ALL SMILES: Emma McKeon dominant at Victorian States.<\/p><\/div>\n

McKeon was through in 26.34 and home in 30.06 \u2013 a faster second 50 than any finalist at this year\u2019s World\u2019s in Doha and her time would have seen her finish second to Germany\u2019s Angelina Kohler<\/strong>, who won the title in 56.28.<\/p>\n

And while McKeon has always been competitive in the 100m butterfly -her only major international gold came back in 2018 at the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n

She won Olympic bronze in Tokyo in 2021 after World Championship silver in Budapest in 2017 and bronze in Fukuoka in 2019.<\/p>\n

But McKeon, looking as lean and happy as ever, captured the 50m freestyle in 24.68 later in the night while Paris distance freestyle hope Lani Pallister was on song in the women\u2019s 400m freestyle final.<\/p>\n

Pallister clocking 4:03.03 (58:15; 1:59.58; 3:01.62) \u2013 just a second outside her personal best but a time her and coach Michael Bohl will put down as a serious marker as they plan towards the Olympic Trials in June.<\/p>\n

She sits second on the Australian All-time list behind world record holder and \u201cRace of the Century\u201d winner from last year\u2019s World Championships, Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> (3:55.38) and knows sub-four minutes is where she has to become the Trials meet in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

The time would have placed her in fifth at this year\u2019s World\u2019s won by New Zealand\u2019s Erica Fairweather<\/strong> in 3:59.44.<\/p>\n

And in a rare appearance over 400m freestyle, the world\u2019s premier female backstroker, McKeown clocked her personal best time of 4:06.85 \u2013 encouraging signs for whatever program she decides on in the future \u2013 and comes after her 1:07.01 to win last night\u2019s 100m breaststroke final and her Victorian All-Comers record of 58.19 in the 100m backstroke.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile 27-year-old Olympic hopeful Cody Simpson<\/strong> won a blanket finish to snatch victory in the 50m butterfly, taking the win in 24.11 from Jack Carr<\/strong> (St Andrews, QLD) 24.15 and Ashton Brinkworth<\/strong> (UWA West Coast, WA) 24.43.<\/p>\n

It followed Simpson\u2019s second place finish to Commonwealth Games teammate Will Yang<\/strong> (SOSC, NSW) in the 100m freestyle in 49.31 to Yang\u2019s 48.52 on night one.<\/p>\n
