The 2020 Western Australia Swimming Championships wrapped up today in Perth, but not before a handful of longstanding WA Residential Records bit the dust.
First, in the men’s 400m IM, North Coast’s Kieren Pollard took the gold in a dominating 4:20.17. That outing overtook the longstanding state record previously held by UWA-West Coast’s Adam Lucas since 2004. Pollard’s outing represents a lifetime best for the 21-year-old.
Then on day 4, it was Ruan Van der Riet of UWA – West Coast who grabbed the top prize in the men’s 200m fly in a time of 2:01.48. The 17-year-old’s outing overtook the previous WA Residential Record William Kirby put on the books way back in 1993.
Alyssa Monaco was the winner of the 50m breaststroke in the 13-year-old women’s category. The Westside Christchurch athlete took down the WA All Comers, All Time, and Residential Records in a winning effort of 34.02.
The women’s 100m breaststroke open category saw St. Hilda’s Talara-Jade Dixon break the WA Residential Record with a PB of 1:10.08, while Westside Christchurch’s Kate Harrison produced a sub-minute 100m fly time of 59.89. Harrison’s effort broke the WA Residential Record for 16-year-olds.
Finally, the men’s 200m free saw Zac Incerti bust out a time of 1:4836 to break Olympian Tommaso D’Orsogna’s WA Residental Record.
Further, on the elite front, Olympic finalist Brianna Throssell earned the Roy Hammond Memorial Trophy for a record 9th time after claiming 100m free gold. She snagged the meet title in a time of 55.01.
24-year-old Throssell also won the women’s 400m free by well over 10 seconds, topping the podium in this ‘off’ event in a time of 4:15.77. She also raced the 200m fly, placing first once again in a time of 2:11.77.
