Career

[edit | edit source]

In November 2015, at the Australian short course championships, Bohl, aged 18, won her first national title in the 100 metre breaststroke with the fourth fastest time ever by an Australian: 1:04.65.[3][4] On the final night of the meet, she took out her second title in the 50 metre breaststroke with a time of 30.03 seconds.[5][6] In the 200 metre event, she won the bronze medal, finishing behind Sally Hunter and Taylor McKeown.[7][8] The final meet of the event saw Bohl and her St Peters Western teammates Madison Wilson, Madeline Groves, Bronte Barratt take out the 4 × 100 metre medley club relay in a new all-comers, club record and championship record time of 3:55.38.[9]

Off the back these results, Bohl was named in the 2016 Perth Aquatic Super Series Roster in December.[10] At the Super Series event contested between the Australians, Japan and China in February 2016, Bohl finished second in both the 100[11] and 200 breaststroke events,[12] clocking a personal best time of 1:06.63 in 100.[13] In the 4 × 50 metre medley relay, Bohl with Emily Seebohm, Emma McKeon and Cate Campbell won gold in 1:48.50.[14][15]

In April 2016, at the national championships she won her first long course national title in the 100 metre breaststroke event.[16] Setting a new personal best time of 1:06.12, she easily swam under the required time of 1:07.11 to qualify for her first Olympics.[17] She also won the 50 metre breaststroke, a non-Olympic event, in 30.58 seconds[18] – the second fastest time of 2016.[19] In the 200 metre breaststroke, she finished second behind Taylor McKeown in 2:23.95, narrowly missing the qualifying time by 0.89 seconds.[20][21] To finish the meet, the St Peters Western foursome of Wilson, Bohl, Groves and McKeon won the 4 × 100 metre medley club relay in new club record time of 3:57.34.[22][23]

At the 2016 Summer Olympics, Bohl represented Australia in both the 100m breastroke & 4x100m medley relay.[24]

At the end of 2021, Bohl announced her retirement from competitive swimming.[25]
