Meg’s Medal Mania

Mackay swimmer Meg Harris has swept up silver in the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Meg finished second in the Women’s 50m freestyle on Monday with a time of 24.32 seconds.

She finished as part of an all-Australian podium, with Shayna Jack taking bronze and Emma McKeon taking gold to become the most prolific athlete in Commonwealth Games history.

Meg also swam as part of the Australian Mixed 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay team that won a gold medal last weekend.

Meg will add the medals to her collection already consisting of Olympic gold and Olympic bronze medals.
