SWIM:Jack siblings raring for Comm Games in dream come true

Australian swimmer Shayna Jack's dream has finally come true.

After so many years of trying, Jack will head to this year's Commonwealth Games as one half of the nation's next sibling swimming act.

Jack secured a spot in Glasgow by touching in 52.96 seconds to finish third in Friday's 100m freestyle at Australia's swimming trials in Sydney.

Five-time Olympic gold medallist Mollie O'Callaghan clocked 52.33 seconds for victory, 0.30 seconds ahead of second-placed Meg Harris.

Jack's younger brother Jamie sealed his maiden Commonwealth Games spot earlier in the week, after finishing second to world record-holder Cameron McEvoy in the men's 50m freestyle.

McEvoy had touched in 21.32 seconds, with the 22-year-old Jack trailing by 0.22 seconds.

The younger Jack was poolside to congratulate his sister on Friday night, with the Paris Olympic gold medallist bursting into tears.
