F-Teamers on track for Olympic Selection

Travis won the 400 individual medley at the Victorian State Championships

The Victorian State Championships was the first major competition for 2016 on the Australian Swimming Calender. With the Olympics looming, all of Australia's top swimmers and many from around the globe were in attendance to race our Funky Trunks F-Teamers. Despite their heavy training loads, the F-Teamers proved they are on track for Olympic trials in April.

Travis Mahoney was the standout F-Teamer of the meet winning gold in the 400m individual medley in a time of 4.20.56. Just a few seconds off Olympic qualifying time, Mahoney is emerging as a strong candidate for the Olympic Team. Fellow F-Teamer Tomas Elliott wasn't far behind finishing with a bronze in the same event.

World Championships bronze medallist Kurt Herzog snatched silver in his main event, the 200m freestyle. Swimming a speedy 1.48.45, Kurt will be looking for a top six spot at Olympic trials to make the 4 x 200m Australian freestyle relay team.

The newest member of the F-Team, Ryan Roche, beat his personal best by three seconds to touch the wall in 2.16.53 and bag the bronze in the 200m breaststroke. The 19-year-old, who won bronze in the same event at the National Short Course Championships, is definitely an up and coming star to keep your eye on this year.

Middle distance swimmer Jack McLaughlin also made it onto the podium winning a bronze medal in the 800m freestyle.

With less than 10 weeks to go until the National Championships in Adelaide, these F-Teamers will spend the time fine tuning their skills in the hope they can make their Olympic dreams come true in Rio.
