2023 AUSTRALIAN SHORT COURSE CHAMPIONSHIPS
The 2023 Australian Short Course Championships kicked off today from Sydney Olympic Aquatic Centre, with the competition spanning four days.
Right off the bat, Olympian Maddie Gough made her presence known, owning the women’s 1500m freestyle race from start to finish. The 24-year-old put up a solid time of 15:45.69 to get to the wall over 45 seconds ahead of the next-closest competitor.
Gough of Carlile has been as quick as 15:31.19 in her career, a time she logged at the 2020 Short Course Championships. Her performance this evening checks in as her 4th fastest effort.
The men’s 100m breaststroke saw one swimmer dip under the 58-second barrier, courtesy of 19-year-old Haig Buckingham. Buckingham stopped the clock in a result of 57.85, opening in 27.13 and closing in 30.72. Next was Nash Wilkes who earned silver in 58.01 while Yannik Zwolsman also landed on the podium in 59.16 as the bronze medalist.
David Morgan and Cody Simpson dueled in the men’s 50m fly, with the pair ultimately separated by just .08 when all was said and done. 29-year-old Olympic Morgan touched in 22.85 while Griffith University ace Simpson settled for silver in 22.93. They were the only competitors to get under the 23-second threshold in the final.
Cruiz Swim Club athlete Abbey Webb topped the women’s 200m free podium in a time of 1:55.43, beating the field by well over a second. The men’s edition had Joel Ivory as its winner, with the Knox Pymble swimmer notching 1:45.41 to knock .32 off of his previous personal best in the 2free event.
In para swimming, Jack Ireland crushed a new World Record in the S14 class of the 200m free. His time of 1:51.55 bested his previous PB of 1:52.49 by nearly one minute.
