Clayworth Delivers Standout State Championship Performance

Cannonvale Cannons swimmer Jax Clayworth produced an outstanding performance at the 2025 Queensland Long Course Championships in Brisbane.

Competing in his first state long course championships, Jax raced across 13 individual events over six days, demonstrating consistency against Queensland’s top age-group swimmers.

The championships also featured two exceptional visiting swimmers from Japan, whose performances were remarkable, with both athletes medalling in the majority of their events. As international visitors, they were ineligible for Queensland medals and ribbons, however their inclusion in Meet Mobile results impacts placings displayed for the meet.

While Jax did not progress to finals in several events, his preliminary performances were strong enough that, once the international visitors were removed from the Queensland standings, those results counted towards top-ten finishes among Queensland competitors.

In total, Jax secured an impressive seven top-ten placings among Queensland swimmers, an outstanding achievement at state championship level, particularly in a debut long course campaign.

His standout events included the 200m Butterfly, 800m Freestyle and 400m Freestyle, where he placed 5th among Queensland swimmers in both the 200m Butterfly and 800m Freestyle, and 6th in the 400m Freestyle. The 800m Freestyle was a highlight of the week, with Jax recording a massive 29.29-second personal best, showcasing exceptional endurance.

Across all 13 events, Jax achieved personal best performances, reflecting the dedication and hard work he has put into his training throughout the season.

The Cannonvale Cannons congratulate Jax Clayworth on a determined and impressive state championship performance and look forward to his continued development in the pool.
