We’ve been working our way through the world rankings impact the recently-concluded Australian World Swimming Trials have had, including isolating the elite men and elite women in particular. Now let’s take a look at any movers and shakers in the 18&U category for Australia as a result of performances rendered at the biggest domestic meet of the year.

Aussie age groupers Thomas Neill, Mitchell Tinsley, Thomas Hauck, Joshua Edwards-Smith, Alexander Grant and Brendon Smith all did major damage to the 18&U boards with their stellar outings in Brisbane.

For Neill, perhaps the most eye-catching swim from the Rackley 17-year-old came in his 400m free, where he dipped under the 3:50 barrier for the first time of his young career. The emerging freestyler was 3:55.52 in March, which he dropped down to 3:50.99 to take gold at the Australian Age Championships just a month later. His time of 3:49.98 from the men’s open final in Brisbane made him the 6th fastest 17-year-old Aussie ever in the 400m free.

Hauck managed to dip under the 2:00 threshold for the first time of his career in the men’s 200m back, touching in a remarkable 4th place at just 16 years of age. Prior to Brisbane, his fastest was the 2:00.00 notched at Aussie Age Championships.

As for Tinsley, the 18-year-old Chandler man made waves in the 800m and 1500m freestyle, following in the footsteps of Jack McLoughlin who rattled the senior world rankings in both of those events, along with the 400m free.
