Kaylee McKeown, Lani Pallister Among Stars Headed To Aussie SC Championships

2024 AUSTRALIAN SHORT COURSE CHAMPIONSHIPS

The 2024 Australian Short Course Championships are nearly upon us with action kicking off Thursday, September 26th from the SA Aquatic & Leisure Centre.

With the competition coming on the heels of the Olympic Games, the entry lists are missing several big guns including Ariarne Titmus, Kyle Chalmers and Cameron McEvoy.

However, a healthy amount of top-tier talent is heading to the 4-day affair, with the championships representing one of the qualifying opportunities for December’s Short Course World Championships.

Bummer that Wunsch scratched the meet. Hurts the women’s relays big time.

Thinking Yong gets close to Wilson’s national record in 100 Breast. Looked good this morning.
