- SCM (25m)
- Results: Meet Mobile – Battle of the Clubs!
While Australian national record holder and new dad Cameron McEvoy just wrapped up his World Aquatics Championships campaign with 50m free gold in Singapore, a young rising star back home took down one of the 31-year-old’s sprint records.
Competing at the 2025 Battle of the Clubs meet at Cranbrook School in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, teenager Ollie Moclair ripped a lifetime best of 21.69 to win the boys’ 17&O age group 50m freestyle.
The Cranbrook 17-year-old’s previous lifetime best entering the meet was represented by the 21.93 logged at last month’s NSW Metro SC Championships.
Last weekend, however, Moclair managed to find another gear and hack .24 off his PB to establish a new Australian Age Record. McEvoy indeed held the old standard of 21.83 from when he was 17 years of age.
Moclair’s performance is a positive sign with the ace heading to this month’s World Junior Championships. That elite junior meet is slated for August 19th through August 24th in Romania.
Let watch world juniors in Romania on the 19th August and see if he can maintain this form.
David Popovici will be on pool deck,showing his gold medals to the next generation.
He went to Cranbrook, THAT’S A PRIVATE SCHOOL
So?
Are private schools unusual where you are from? They are a fairly normal option that produce many elite sports people here in Australia.
It’s a movie quote!
Sad that Aussies don’t know the joy of seeing B Rabbit overcome his fears to take down Papa Doc
Thanks, never heard of it.
So Australia has a Mollie O and an Ollie Mo!

Almost a jumble of Mollie’s name.
Very exciting prospect
