Swim star Meg Harris has capped her breakthrough week by joining the elite of Commonwealth Games athletes who have annexed six gold medals in a single edition.
The Victorian-born, Mackay-raised 24-year-old, who’s splashed out of the shadows of some of her more garlanded peers in Glasgow, capped a spectacular week with a double-gold finale on the last day of the Tollcross pool program on Wednesday (Thursday AEST).
Having outpaced an admittedly under-par superstar Mollie O’Callaghan to win the blue riband 100m free, Harris completed the sprint double in the 50m, pipping teammates Alex Perkins and the departing Shayna Jack, before anchoring the victorious 4x100m medley relay quartet.
It left her the toast of her teammates, after Harris discovered that she had joined Australian swimming royalty, who had all won a record six golds in a single Games.
