Between 5:34 a.m. and 5:50 a.m. on Sunday morning, Kenmore may have contributed 2 Gold Medals to the Paris Olympics. Well, that’s the dream anyway.

Jack Cartwright, the 25-year-old former pupil of Old Lady of the Rosary School as well as the world’s most successful swimming school, St Peters Lutheran, will make his Olympic debut in the 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay.

Having been a finalist in the World Championships in 2017 at 18 years of age, it has been a long time coming.

The 2023 World Championships team in Fukuoka of Cartwright, Flynn Southam, Kai Taylor and Kyle Chalmers grabbed Gold in 3:10.16 from the Italian team and the USA team. However Kyle Chalmers will be the only sub-48-second swimmer amongst the Australian team. Team USA will have a quartet of sub-48-second athletes in their team and the competition for the medals will be very high.

On Saturday 27 July from 7:00 p.m. Brisbane time, the Mens 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay heats will be the sixth event on the program. The Final will be at 5:44 a.m. Brisbane time, the following morning on Sunday, 28 July.

The Women’s 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay heats will also begin on the 7:00 p.m. program Saturday evening, 27 July. The final will be 5:34 a.m.

By comparison, the Women’s 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay team will go into the event with massive confidence. The Women’s 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay and the 4 x 200m Freestyle Relay could be considered the two very best chances of Gold both in the pool and across the full sporting event program.

Bronte Campbell, ex-student of Kenmore State High School, will carry the Campbell family’s hopes in the 4 x 100. This will be her fourth Olympics and the first without her sister Cate, who has now retired from the sport.

So we can be confident that Kenmore will secure at least one Gold by 5:50 a.m. on Sunday, but could Cartwright and his team make it two?
