He crushed the field by two and a half seconds in the 100 fly, clocking 52.24 to top his previous best of 52.96, and then in the 100 IM he won by over a second in 53.12, knocking off his 2017 PB of 54.23.
Ceccon also won the 200 free in 1:47.94 and the 400 free in 3:55.32, showing off his wide range of versatility after setting the sprints on fire at the Youth Olympic Games.
Another youngster Giulia Salin had an impressive performance with two wins in the 400 free (4:11.91) and 200 fly (2:14.62), while veteran Ilaria Bianchi won the 100 fly in 58.30.
