Meanwhile, there was disappointment for Conor Ferguson.
Competing at the Irish Open Swimming Championships, the 24-year-old produced an Irish and Championship Record of 59.11 in the 100m Backstroke.Comfortably eclipsing the target of 59.99, Hill is now well-placed for a spot on the Women’s 4x100m Medley Relay.
Hill said afterwards: “We all know what happened last time , I was so narrowly close, I think this time, I had that 59.99, the first Irish woman to go sub one minute, and I just wanted to cement it, I didn’t want any questions asked, I just went for it and thankfully dipped under. Limerick’s Ellie McCartney was the fastest qualifier from the 200m Individual Medley for tomorrow’s Super Final.
In the Men’s 200m Freestyle, Evan Bailey, Cormac Rynn and Jack Cassin were all under the European Championships Consideration Time, with Bailey producing a new Irish Junior Record of 1:48.49 earlier.
