Brisbane Senior Metropolitan Championships: Meg Harris Takes Head-To-Head 100m Free Battle over Cate Campbell in 53.17 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The race to Paris in Australia hotted up in Brisbane this morning with two of Australia\u2019s red-shot female freestyle sprinters Meg\u00a0Harris<\/strong> (Rackley) and Cate Campbell<\/strong> (Chandler) going head-to-head over 100m freestyle at the 2023 Vorgee Brisbane Metropolitan Championships, which has attracted a host of Olympic hopefuls.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not every day you break a Cate Campbell record let alone twice in two sessions while also keeping the four-time Olympian, former world champion and world record holder at bay at the same time.<\/p>\n

But Campbell\u2019s fellow Tokyo Olympic freestyle relay gold medallist Harris, also a big Paris chance, \u00a0has done just that, winning the 100m freestyle final in 53.17 at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre.<\/p>\n

In a reverse order of sessions, the preliminaries were swum last night and the finals this morning \u2013 Harris clocking 53.31 to Campbell\u2019s 53.51 in the preliminaries \u2013 breaking Campbell\u2019s 2013 Brisbane mark of 53.33.<\/p>\n

And then lowering her own record to the 53.17 (her second fastest time of the season) \u2013 ahead of Campbell\u2019s 53.42 today in the countdown to the most hotly contested of any event at the Australian Trials in June.<\/p>\n

    Another eye-catching swim came from Harris\u2019s Rackley team-mate, 2023 world champion Sam Short<\/strong> who returned to racing with a new Brisbane record of 3:45.17 to take out the 400m freestyle ahead of record holder and club mate Thomas Neill<\/strong> (3:51.43).

    Meanwhile in other events, Olympic champion over 200m breaststroke, Zac Stubblety-Cook, <\/strong>limed up in the 100m breaststroke \u2013 clocking and encouraging 59.97 \u2013 under the long-standing Brisbane record, of 1:00.15 and set back in 2008 by 2012 Olympic silver medallist Christian Sprenger.<\/strong><\/p>\n
    Stubblety-Cook\u2019s time makes him the second fastest Australian this season behind 2024 Doha World Championship fourth-place getter, Sam Williamson\u2019s<\/strong> 59.21.<\/p>\n
    While in the\u00a0women\u2019s 100m butterfly, 21-year-old Paris Olympic hopeful Lily Price <\/strong>(Rackley) produced a personal best of 57.64 in the women’s 100m freestyle – clocking the equal ninth fastest all-time performance by an Australian.<\/p>\n
    Today’s final win came after she broke a long-standing Libby Trickett<\/strong> record set back in 2008, clocking 57.91 in the preliminaries \u2013 just outside her personal best of 57.78, swum when she finished third to Emma McKeon<\/strong> and Brianna Throssell<\/strong> at last year\u2019s Australian Trials.<\/p>\n
    Price has now swum the fourth fastest time off the season behind McKeon (56.40), Throssell (56.97) and Lizzy Dekkers (58.38) in an event that is also shaping up to be one to watch at the June Trials.<\/p>\n
    The men\u2019s 100m freestyle went to 18-year-old Ed Sommerville<\/strong> (Brisbane Grammar) in 49.50 \u2013 under Isaac Cooper\u2019<\/strong>s 2202 Brisbane record of 50.33 while the women\u2019s 100m breaststroke went to Ella Ramsay (Chandler) 1:08.01.<\/p>\n
    In the Timed Final of the women\u2019s 800m freestyle Rackley\u2019s 18-year-old Tiana\u00a0 Kritzinger<\/strong>,\u00a0 clocked an impressive personal best of 8:35.75 (4:15.87) ahead of Yeronga Park\u2019s duel Olympic open water swimmer (Rio and Paris) Chelsea Gubecka<\/strong> (8:45.83) with Amelia Weber<\/strong> (St Peters Western) third in 8:55.13.<\/p>\n
