The third day of action at the 2024 Aquatics GB Summer Championships unfolded tonight from Sheffield with more rising stars making their presence known on domestic soil.

The girls’ 17-year-old 100m back saw Mount Kelly’s Blythe Kinsman get to the wall first, posting a winning effort of 1:01.38. That checks in as the 3rd fastest time of the teen’s career, one which boasts a PB of 1:00.73 from this April’s Olympic Trials.

Rising star Kinsman earned bronze in the 50m back at this year’s European Junior Championships, registering a time of 28.29 in Vilnius, Lithuania earlier this month.

European Junior Championships medalist Theodora Taylor kept up her momentum from last night with a victory in the girls’ 15-year-old 100m breast.

Taylor stopped the clock at 32.64 to touch just a hair ahead of Basildon’s Jasmine Carter who settled for silver in 32.72. Repton’s Hannah Capron rounded out the podium in 33.54.

Taylor was a two-time individual medalist in Lithuania, capturing bronze in the 100m breast (1:08.59) and silver in the 200m breast (2:28.71) at just 15 years of age.

Finally, last night’s 100m breast king Max Morgan of Reed’s Swim Club, doubled up on his 100m victory with a gold in the 50m breast for 16-year-olds.

Morgan topped the podium in 27.52, a significant improvement upon his previous career-quickest result of 27.85 notched at May’s AP Race International.

Last night Morgan ripped a lifetime best of 1:00.10 to win the 100m breast, becoming the 12th-swiftest junior performer of all time.
