Macinnes retains British title as six secure Commonwealth times

Keanna Macinnes won the British 200m butterfly title for a third consecutive year as she and five other Scots secured Commonwealth Games qualifying times at the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships.

Ciara Schlosshan took bronze in the same final, while Lucy Grieve also dipped under the qualifying time in the B final, at the London Aquatics Centre.

Anna Morgan achieved the Commonwealth standard and took silver in the 50m breaststroke.

Evie Davis met the qualifying standard in the 100m freestyle as she also took silver by swimming her first personal best since 2021.

Meanwhile, Archie Goodburn secured the nomination standard for 100m breaststroke during the heats but opted out of the final.

For Macinnes, victory also means a place in the British team for the European Championships despite finishing less than 0.1 outside her own Scottish Record.

"There's a bit of mixed emotions," she told Scottish Swimming. "I think I had more in the tank.

"Training has been going well, but maybe I just got a little bit excited through the first 100. It is what it is and I've qualified for the summer events.

"Commonwealths are important and I think there will be a scrap between the Brits and the Australians - and to come out on top would be a big target. It's also nice to have the other two girls qualify."

Morgan also had "mixed feelings" as she finished behind England's Imogen Clark.

"I'm really happy I did the times but would have liked to have been closer to the European times and Scottish record, so a little bit disappointed," she said while also being "proud of myself".

"I remember racing Imogen when I was really young and nowhere near her so to have her come back and me be able to race her again where I can be a bit closer to her is really exciting."

Davis was "pretty shocked" to "absolutely smash" her personal best finishing behind England's Eva Okaro.

"It's been a really hard five years, a lot of disappointment and a lot resilience and a lot of blind faith when you don't see any progress," she said.

Meanwhile, Luke Hornsey just missed the Commonwealth standard as he finished fourth in the 400m freestyle final won by England's James Guy.

Faye Rogers was 0.01 off the S10 200m butterfly world record in her heat, while Sam Downie was crowned British champion for MC 400m freestyle.
