McMillan strong on Day 2 in Australia

Australian-based kiwi Andrew McMillan enjoyed a strong showing on the day of the Australian Olympic trials in Adelaide.

McMillan, the world championship representative in 2009, clocked 1:49.50 to finish 11^th fastest in the heats of the 200m freestyle. It was 1.7sec outside the qualifying standard for the London Olympics.

Beijing Olympian Daniel Bell (North Shore) was 10^th fastest in the 100m backstroke in 56.22s with none of the swimmers under the FINA A time in the heats.

Internationals are only eligible to swim in the heats at the eight-day championships, where New Zealanders can secure qualifying performances for the London Olympics.
