Australian Age Championships: Victoria\u2019s Latest Rising Star Henry Allan Headlines Record Assault On Night Five <\/strong><\/p>\n

Victorian backstroking find Henry Allan<\/strong> has led a six pack of Australia\u2019s brightest stars who lit up the Brisbane Aquatic Centre on a record tumbling Night Five of the National Age Swimming Championships.<\/p>\n

Allan (Bendigo East, VIC) rocketed into the Australian All-Time 100m backstoke Top Ten with his record-breaking time of 53.73 to lower his own 16 years National record for the third time over the past five months.<\/p>\n

52.97 Hayden Stoeckel<\/p>\n

53.59 William Yang<\/p>\n

53.73 Henry Allan \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

53.78 Matt Welsh<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just last month in Sydney the talented teenager won the NSW Open 100m backstroke title in impressive style, breaking his own Australian 16 Years record into the bargain with his time of 54.23 (26.26).<\/p>\n

A time faster than Olympians Isaac Cooper<\/strong>\u00a0(55.07) and\u00a0Andrew Lauterstein<\/strong>\u00a0(55.44) had swum at the same age, leaving Enoch Robb<\/strong>\u00a0(Griffith, QLD) 55.21 and\u00a0Joshua Edwards-Smith<\/strong>\u00a0(Griffith University, QLD) 55.38 in his wake.<\/p>\n

Henry had earlier smashed his own Australian 16 Years 50m backstroke record not once but twice in one day, lowering it to 25.00 in the NSW final where he beat Paris Olympians\u00a0Zac Incerti<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Bradley Woodward.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Allan and coach Jordan have recently spent time working with Olympic gold medal coach\u00a0Craig Jackson<\/strong>\u00a0in the Melbourne Vic Centre program at MSAC.<\/p>\n

His record run started last December when he lowered Olympian Andrew Lauterstein\u2019s previous mark.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the evening Allan was only just outside Jayden Hadler\u2019s 2011 Australian Age record in winning the 16 years 50m butterfly in 24.59 \u2013 0.28 outside the London Olympian\u2019s time of 24.31.<\/p>\n

Allan was last night joined by Bryce Krause<\/strong> (Fairholme\/Toowoomba QLD), Christopher Montana<\/strong> (Trinity Grammar, NSW) and Koa Stotz<\/strong> (Somerset, QLD), Sienna Toohey<\/strong> (Albury, NSW) and Ainsley Trotter<\/strong> (Bond, QLD) in a night of sizzling times.<\/p>\n

In all, five records were broken tonight:<\/p>\n

Krause bettered his own National record in the 14 years 50m backstroke \u2013 set on Night Four in the winning Queensland relay \u2013 touching the wall in 26.41.<\/p>\n

Two-metre-tall Stotz punched the air in celebrating his second National record at this meet, winning the 14 years 100m breaststroke in 1:04.21 -taking 0.2 off Olympian Matthew Wilson<\/strong>\u2019s 2013 mark of 1:04.44.<\/p>\n

Then Trinity Grammar NSW\u2019s Christopher Montana<\/strong> claimed his second National record of this meet \u2013 winning the 15 years 50m breaststroke in 28.47 \u2013 taking 0.59 off Haig Buckingham\u2019s 2020 record of 29.06.<\/p>\n

Before Bond University\u2019s Ainsley Trotter<\/strong> ripped out a 27.88 in the 17 years 50m backstroke to set an Australian All Comers\u2019 record which bettering the time of 28.08 set by multiple Olympic gold medallist Mollie O\u2019Callaghan,<\/strong> four years ago.<\/p>\n

Already having made a name for herself with her Australian Age record in the 100m breaststroke on Night three, NSW 16-year-old\u00a0Sienna Toohey<\/strong> again impressed in the 200m breaststroke (2:27.92) \u2013 winning her third gold of this meet, adding to the 100m breaststroke and 200 IM.<\/p>\n

Coached by Wayne Gould,<\/strong> Toohey beat next best Lily Koch (2:28.90) by a second with Amelie Smith (2:29.35) third.<\/p>\n

The rise of Toohey has come at the perfect time for the Dolphins\u2019 breaststroke stocks following the retirements of Olympic medallists Jenna Strauch<\/strong> and Chelsea Hodges.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And in the men\u2019s 18 years 200m freestyle featured Cranbrook\u2019s Marcus Da Silva<\/strong> surging in the back end of the race to stop the clock at 1:48.19 ahead of WA\u2019s Tex Cross (<\/strong>1:49.32) and Xavier Collins<\/strong> 1:49.48.<\/p>\n

In other events:<\/p>\n

It was double trouble in the boys’ 15-years 400m freestyle with twins Lincoln and Isaac Wearing claiming first and second respectively. For Lincoln it was his second gold of the meet while Isaac edged out Luke Lee to secure silver and his first 2025 Nationals medal.<\/p>\n

Australian Age star Macey Sheridan<\/strong>, one of 11 Northern Territory swimmers competing in Brisbane, won gold\u00a0in the girls’ 15-years 100m backstroke in 1:03.12, holding off Chandler QLD\u2019s, Dory Lee (1:03.80)\u00a0and Somerset, QLD\u2019s Jessica Melo (1:04.19).<\/p>\n

In the girls’ 14-years 400m\u00a0freestyle, Queensland swimmers reigned supreme with Miami’s Jessica Conrad<\/strong>placing first, Molly Bawden<\/strong> from Kawana Waters in second (4:23.07) and Ava Hogan<\/strong> from Woogaroo third (4:24.94). Impressively, Conrad shaved almost 10 seconds off her seed time to win her first gold of this meet with a time of 4:20.57.<\/p>\n

Nicholas Stoupas (<\/strong>Caulfield Aquatics, VIC), coached by two-time Olympian Kenrick Monk<\/strong> secured gold in the boys’ 17-years 200m backstroke in 2:17.11.<\/p>\n

His fellow Caulfield Aquatics, clubmate Thomas Sutherland<\/strong> dead-heated for second with Ned Cane<\/strong> (SOPAC, NSW ) when they touched in at 2:19.55.<\/p>\n
