16-year-old Sienna Toohey became the youngest Australian woman to break 1:07 in the 100 breaststroke during tonight’s final, finishing first in 1:06.55 to earn her spot on the World Championships roster.
Toohey has been taking Australian Swimming by storm, filling a large gap in the breaststroke events. In April, she swam 1:07.04 to break Australian legend Leisel Jones’ 23-year-old age group record of 1:07.31. Toohey also holds the 15-year-old age group record at 1:07.01 from last year’s Olympic Trials where she finished 3rd overall.

With this swim, Toohey now finds herself on both the World Championships team and the Junior Worlds team. While some countries do not allow athletes to compete at both championships, Australia does not have any such restrictions. In 2023, fellow Australian Flynn Southam competed in the individual 100 meter freestyle at both meets.
Toohey highlights a new era of Australian breaststrokers as one of only two finalists from last year’s trials who returned (the other being 2nd place finisher Ella Ramsay). At last summer’s Olympics, Australia did not put a single swimmer into the 100 breaststroke semi-final with their only qualifier Jenna Strauch finishing 22nd overall in 1:07.27. Toohey’s time tonight would have qualified her 13th for the semi-finals. It also sits at 14th in the world this season which has significant implications for Australia’s medley relay which won the silver medal last summer with Strauch on the breaststroke leg.

She becomes the 9th fastest junior of all time. She was half a body length ahead at the turn but popped up half a body length behind. If she can work on her underwaters that’s a 1:05 easily
;Our’ Sienna seemed to have plateaued for the past 6 months so great to see her have a big jump.
Would be lovely to see her log-on here again and give us her thoughts.
Probably she was just saving her best for trials
lol while funny, actually impersonating a swimmer with their full name probably shouldn’t be allowed since some of them do comment on here
Sienna has commented here before
Intriguing how a 16yo in Australia today would employ the archaic phrase ‘playing possum’!
Ella Ramsay, not Ella Welch
