The male sprinters were the headliners of the day 1 action at the 2025/2026 New South Wales Senior State Age Championships in Sydney on Saturday.
The day was led by Ollie MoClair, who won the 18-and-over age category in the 50 free in a time of 22.11. His 22.04 in prelims makes him the fastest Australia 18-year-old in the history of the event.
Top 5 Australian 18-Year Olds of All-Time, Boys 50 Free (Long Course)
- Ollie MoClair, 22.04 – 2025
- James Roberts, 22.05 – 2009
- Luke Percy, 22.11 – 2013
- Kyle Chalmers, 22.23 – 2017
- Isaac Cooper, 22.25 – 2022
He wasn’t the only sprinter to enter the all-time rankings. In the boys’ 16 category, Ethan Haegabaert won the 50 free in 22.83. That moves him to 8th place all-time in the age group, half-a-second behind Kyle Chalmers‘ National Age Record.
The swim bumps Andrew Baildon from the top 10 with his 22.95 swim from 1988. That year, he became the youngest Australian male to compete at the Olympics in 16 years, and would qualify again for the 1992 Games.
Haegabaert wasn’t done there – in the session-finale 200 medley relay, he split 22.12 on the anchor leg to help his team from Knox Pymble Swim Club win in 1:42.19. He was joined by Lukas Dunn (26.48 – back), Hudson Hegarty (29.12 – breast), and Tristen Waugh (24.47 – fly).
Moclair split 22.30 on the anchor leg for Cranbrook, which finished 2nd in 1:43.80.
In the women’s 50 free, 19-year-old Olivia Wunsch, and Olympic and World Championship gold medalist at the senior level and the junior level, won the girls’ 18 & over category in 25.08.
What the heck happened to Luke Percy
He actually was faster in the heats: 22.04. Making him break the age record (and making him the 10th fastest junior of all time worldwide)
Ahhh I missed his prelims swim. Good note.
