ELIZABETH DEKKERS The All Hallows School student from Newmarket Racers edged closer to the Tokyo Olympics with a stunning 16 years 200m butterfly effort of 2.07.82, breaking her own Australian record in the 16 years age group as well as an Australian All comers record.

Last night she also won the 100m butterfly and was third in the 200m IM.
