cracking pace, clocking his second fastest time ever just 0.01 outside his best time of 4:08.70, swum when he won the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trio have been battling it out all summer in Australia \u2013 including a seres of thrilling races at the Australian Open Championships on the Gold Coast last month which \u00a0have continued in Sydney over the past three days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both Clareburt and Seto have already swum their respective Olympic Trials with both swimmers, Clareburt, 24 and Seto 29 punching their tickets for Paris \u2013 Clareburt\u2019s winning time of 4:09.72 in Doha sealing his selection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They have also played a crucial role in pushing the Australian teenager as he prepares for next month\u2019s Australian Trials in Brisbane from June 10-15 under experienced international coach <strong>Jol Finck<\/strong> at Victoria\u2019s premier club, Nunawading.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only was Petric\u2019s 4:12.20 a personal best -it catapulted him to the third Australian of all time behind fellow Nunawading product <strong>Brendon Smith<\/strong> (4:09.27) who is the Tokyo bronze medallist in the 400IM and two-time Olympian <strong>Thomas Fraser-Holmes<\/strong> (4:10.14).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith is now with <strong>Michael Bohl\u2019s <\/strong>Griffith University group on the Gold Coast where Fraser-Holmes is also coaching in Bohl\u2019s Griffith program.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the opening night of the Sydney Open, Petric had swum a personal best of 1:58.05 in the 200IM after last month\u2019s PB of 1:58.43 to win the Australian title -ranking him seventh on th Australian All-Time list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Petric beat Clareburt and Australian Tokyo Olympians <strong>Se Bom Le<\/strong> (SOPAC, NSW) and Smith \u2013 who along with another Tokyo teen, <strong>Thomas Neill<\/strong> (Rackley, QLD) will provide some stiff opposition for the top two places on the plane to Paris.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile Tokyo Olympic champion in the 200m breaststroke, <strong>Zac Stubblety-Cook<\/strong> (swimming for Griffith University, QLD at the UniSport Nationals) has again produced an impressive performance in Sydney, winning his pet event in 2:07.89 from Chandler training partner <strong>Bailey Lello<\/strong> 2:11.27 with <strong>Joshua Collett<\/strong> (Bond, QLD) 2:12.34 third.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stubblety-Cook saying he was personally happy with the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou can never complain with a 2:07, although I would have liked to have gone a little bit faster but that always keeps you itchy,\u201d said Stubblety-Cook.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was a good swim and I put it together better than Nationals, although it was a bit slower we were not as fresh as we were for Nationals but mentally it\u2019s always a sticky period before Trials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stubblety-Cook will spend the next two weeks on the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane, based out of the University of Sunshine Coast pool (home of the USC Spartans) before returning to Brisbane for the 10-day taper period with the Trials meet at his home pool, the Brisbane Aquatic Centre.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2024 Sydney Open UniSport Nationals, Sydney Olympic Park
