Maddison Keeney has continued her strong form, taking out the Women’s 1m Springboard Final at the 2017 Australian Open Championships in Sydney, giving her a rare shot at a sweep of the springboard medals.

In a dominant and consistent display, Keeney blew away the competition finishing with a score of 320.60, 25 points ahead of Esther Qin (NSW). Zoe Langtry, in her Open Championship debut also made the final finishing 12th with 195.60. Earlier in the day Jorja McCall finished 17th in the prelims with a score of 148.15.
