2024 QUEENSLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS

- LCM (50m)
- Meet Central
- Draft Entries
The 2024 Queensland Championships kick off December 14th and the draft entries have been released so we now know who is expected to race at Brisbane Aquatic Centre.
Although the talent is not as deep as has been in the past, primarily since several key swimmers including Ariarne Titmus, are enjoying an Olympic break, there are still some potentially electric matchups about to take place.
A sprinkling of international swimmers will also be woven throughout the affair, including Rikako Ikee of Japan, Carter Swift of New Zealand, and Linnea Mack of the United States.
Closer to home, Olympic champion Mollie O’Callaghan is poised to make her post-Olympics debut, as will relay maestro Shayna Jack alongside brother Jamie Jack.
MOC is entered in the 100m back and 800m free as her individual events and Shayna Jack has just the 50m free in her lineup. Jaime Jack is set to take on the 50m/100m free, 50m back and 50m fly individual races in addition to relays.

Jamie Jack goes sub 22 for the first time leading off a relay: 21.94
Reaction time was quite slow too at 0.84 so maybe he can go faster later in the meet or maybe the reaction time is bs.
And again in the mixed relay 21.74 with a better reaction time.
Why is MOC not going to Budapest?
Leon is out of world champs per his Instagram story.
Meet gets weaker with each passing day …
This meet is all about Gretchen though anyway, I’m not dampened. Lol, and I’m an Australian
And here’s me thinking this thread was supposed to be about Mollie O.
Lol, I’m real excited for her 100 back, I’m gonna go down and watch it live
You’re a lucky man. Go Mollie!
800, interesting.
Dean often makes his swimmers do the 800 at this meet.
Or even the 1500
