2025 AUSTRALIAN AGE CHAMPIONSHIPS
Thursday, April 10th – Friday, April 18th Brisbane Aquatic Centre LCM (50m) Meet Central Day 1 Recap/Day 2 Recap/Day 3 Recap/Day 4 Recap/Day 5 Recap Live ResultsNo records fell on the penultimate night of able-bodied racing at the 2025 Australian Age Championships, but we saw 17-year-old Joshua Conias take his age category’s 50m freestyle title in style.
Conias stopped the clock at a speedy 22.39 to qualify for this year’s World Junior Championships.
That effort checked in as the 3rd-fastest time of the teen’s career. Conias owns a lifetime best of 22.35 from last year’s Sydney Open Meet, while his 2nd-best rests at 22.34
As a reminder, Conias is treated to watching the best in action, training at Somverville House Aquatics, the home base of Olympic champion Cameron McEvoy and coach Tim Lane.
The 14-year-old girls’ race saw the Rock City club snag the top two slots, led by Annaliese Matthews.
Matthews captured a gold medal-worthy time of 2:18.50 as the sole swimmer under the 2:21 threshold. That obliterated her previous personal best of 2:25.05 notched at the Queensland Championships last December. Her result this evening rendered her just outside the list of top 10 age category Australian performers of all time.
Teammate Mackenzie Wyeth was next to the wall in 2:21.92 and Emma Ng from Carlile rounded out the podium in 2:23.13.
Additional Notes
Jack Morrow collected his 3rd individual gold of the meet, reaping the top spot in the 17-year-old boys’ 100m back. He earned another World Championships bid with his winning effort of 54.82, beating the field by nearly a second en route to the St. Andrew’s swimmer turning in the first sub-55-second result of his career. Asha Ring of SOPAC got it done for gold in the girls’ 50m free for 16-year-olds, posting 25.67. Marcus Da Silva earned 100m free gold for 18-year-olds, snagging the victory in an outing of 49.30 as the only swimmer under the 50-second barrier. The Cranbrook Aquatics ace overtook his previous PB of 49.37 from when he earned silver at last year’s Junior Pan Pacific Championships.Read the full story on SwimSwam: 2025 Aussie Age Championships: Joshua Conias Cracks 22.39 World Jrs-Worthy 50 Free
