From SwimSwam coverage of Australian National Championships, May 1st, 2013:
Sisters Cate and Bronte Campbell started the sixth evening of the 2013 EnergyAustralia Swimming Championships with some excitement finishing one, two in the women’s 100 freestyle. Cate, who put up a world best of 52.83 in the semi-final won the event in a time of 52.92 while Bronte, who swam a lifetime best of 53.72 in the semi-final finished second in a time of 53.85.
“The reward is all that sweeter, I’m on the team to Spain and I’ve got my sister on the seat next to me,” Cate Campbell told news.com.au.
“That is absolutely the best scenario. I was just hoping to possibly have her on a relay team with me. To have her as an individual swimmer with me is just beyond my wildest dreams.”
“Bronte said (to me after the race) I can’t believe it and she is not often lost for words. That was a pretty big moment.”
“I was watching Cate in the stands at the Olympics and it was an amazing feeling when Australia won,” Bronte told the Australian.
“I was crying and I don’t cry very often, and I was just thinking how amazing it would be to be a part of that and be able to share that with my sister as well.”
