Sydney Sprints (SC): Bronte Campbell is back on the fast track and out of the Cam McEvoy playbook

One of the fastest female runners in the worldBRunt Campbell She says she’s encouraged by the newly crowned world champion Cam McEvoy, In her quest to make a fourth Olympic team in Paris next year.

The 29-year-old, a two-time Olympic relay gold medalist and five-time world champion, rounded off a successful Australian short course meet in Sydney, adding the 50m freestyle to her previous 100m win on Thursday night.

Campbell (Cruise, ACT) once again produced a flawless display in the 50m freestyle – off the blocks like a rocket and crossing the first 25m in 11.64 and then back in 12.45 to win the national title in 24.09 – showing she has lost none of the speed that made her One of the best female runners in the world since she first burst onto the scene in 2012.

Her Cruz teammate, abby webb, Who also had an impressive meet with victories in the 100 and 200 meter backstroke and 200 meter freestyle, finishing second with a time of 24.89 seconds, slightly ahead of the 27-year-old. Elicia Oldsen(Marion, SA) who scored 24.89.

“I’ll take that, 24 zeros – I’m really happy to see that I’m not really tapering,” Campbell said after the race.

“Every time I dive into the pool I get faster, which is good and I’m really enjoying the change in training under him Shannon Rollasonseeing as I’ve only had one other coach in my career, and that was Simon Cusack for 21 years.

“There’s always something new to learn and you just have to look at what Cam McEvoy has done to see how he figures things out (with his coaching) and does a good job.”

Campbell and McEvoy have been on similar career paths over the last three Olympic campaigns, with McEvoy winning his first world title in Fukuoka this year after working with new coach Tim Lane and implementing a new resistance program with the Queensland Academy of Sport.

He is also eyeing a fourth Olympics and the impact he has on his fellow Olympians could have a major impact on Australia’s 2024 Olympic squad.

And while Campbell has shown she will uphold the integrity of the new generation of female runners in what will be the most competitive Australian Olympic Trials in history, a new breaststroker is also on the move.

One of the swimmers of the night came from 20-year-old Victoria Tara Kinder (Melbourne Vicentre), who won the 200m breaststroke with a time of 2:21.69 (1:08.45/1:13.79) to join the Tokyo Olympics. Jessica Hansen Equal 10^yThe fastest Australian ever in the event.

With Australia’s two best chest players Strauch and Chelsea Hodges Forced out of this year’s World Championships after recovering from injury, the door is certainly open for new breaststroke talent to raise their hand.
