Australian backstroke power Emily Seebohm concluded her outstanding 2015 with a new Australian and Queensland All-Corners record in her 100-meter backstroke at the Queensland State Championship last night. Australian All-Corners records are the fastest times swam by any athlete in Australia.

Seebohm’s 58.70 is the fastest time ever swum by a female in Australia. Seebohm began the race with a 29.00 split, and burst home in an impressive 29.70. Her victory follows a silver medal at the World Championships in Kazan earlier this year. She already holds the Australian record with her 58.23 from her swim in London in 2012. Maddi Wilson finished second in 59.09, while Minna Atherton took third in 59.69. Atherton also broke the All-Corners record for 15-year olds.

The men’s champion Mitch Larkin nearly nabbed Aaron Piersol’s long-standing 100-meter back Australian All-Corners record with his 53.04, missing Piersol’s 52.98 from the 2007 FINA World Championships in Melbourne.

Cate Campbell topped the 100-meter free in a quick 52.84, followed by Emma McKeon (53.93) and Brittany Elmslie (54.37).

Other highlights include Cam McEvoy‘s 48.01 victory in the men’s 100-meter free, Jess Ashwood‘s 4:05.98 win in the 400-meter free, David McKeon‘s 3:48.37 400-meter free gold medal, and Georgia Bohl‘s 1:07.62 100-meter breast.
