Campbells' sister act wins world team berths

ADELAIDE, Australia: Australian sisters Cate and Bronte Campbell finished first and second in the women's 100-metres freestyle final in
Adelaide on Wednesday to qualify for this year's world swimming championships.

Cate, an Olympic gold medallist in the women's 4x100m relay, swam the
quickest time ever in Australia in Tuesday's semi-final and produced a
start-to-finish victory in the final, touching in 52.92secs.

Bronte Campbell (53.85) held off challenges for the second individual berth in the event at the world championships in July.

London Olympian Matson Lawson won his first national title in the 200m
backstroke to overhaul defending champion Mitch Larkin and the dual national title winner in the event, Ashley Delaney.

Lawson touched in 1:56.59 to make his first world championships team and will be joined by London teammate Larkin (1:56.79).

Dual Olympian Sally Foster won her second national title of the week with a dominant performance in the women's 200m breaststroke in 2:23.94, from teenagers Jenna Strauch (2:26.47) and Taylor McKeown 2:28.24. (AFP)
