JACK CARTWRIGHT

SWIMMING

Australia may well go 1-2-3 in the men’s 100m freestyle and it will be 19-year-old Jack Cartwright who could find himself on the podium alongside household names Cameron McEvoy and Kyle Chalmers. The Queensland teenager put the world on notice with six medals, including four gold, at the 2016 Junior Pan Pacs. In 2017 he made his first senior national team for the world champs where he swam 47.97sec in the heats and was seventh in the 100m final. At the Games trials in March, Cartwright was taken to hospital after his heart rate exceeded 200bpm during the 200m heats. He failed to qualify for the final, but the following day finished second in the 100m final behind Chalmers in 48.60sec to book his ticket.
