For the second consecutive year,Matt Wilson has earned the Swammy Award for the Oceania Male Swimmer of the Year.<\/p>\n
Last year Australias Wilson emerged into the spotlight when he broke countryman Christian Sprengers super-suit era 200 breast Oceanian\/Australian record with a 2:07.16 at the Australian National Championships in April. He would go on to win silver at the 2019 World Championships.<\/p>\n
For 2020, however, it was the short course arena in which Wilson made his magic happen, with the 22-year-old SOPAC swimmer once again replacing a Sprenger record.<\/p>\n
While competing at the multi-location virtual Australian Championships this November, Wilson hit a monster personal best of 56.89 in the 100m breast. The time marked his first effort under the 57-second threshold; in fact, it represented the first time any Australian man had been under 57 seconds. His performance also became the Oceanic Record in the SCM 100m breast event.<\/p>\n
Putting Wilsons 56.89 in perspective in the all-time frame, the Aussie now sits just outside the top 25 male 100m breaststrokers ever worldwide.<\/p>\n
In no particular order.<\/p>\n
