Among the highlights of the meet, 15-year-old Lily Koch of Nunawading made some major noise in her age group’s 100m IM.
Koch, coached by Nick Veliades, fired off a time of 1:01.12 to break the Australian Age Short Course and Australian All Comers record in the event. These former records were held by 4-time Olympian Emily Seebohm since 2017.
Koch also notched a new Australian All Comers Record in the girls’ 15-year-old 200m breast. Her new lifetime best of 2:24.15 overtook the previous record of 2:25.48 held by Olympian Tessa Wallace since 2010.
Also racing next to Koch was fellow 15-year-old ace Sienna Toohey of Albury Amateur Swim Club.
Toohey hit a time of 2:27.34 behind Koch in the 200m breast and also logged a result of 1:02.67 in the 100m IM.
Among her events, Toohey also produced an effort of 1:06.48 for a new lifetime best by about half a second.
