Ellen Fullerton has her eyes on Delhi Commonwealth Games trials

TEENAGE flyer Ellen Fullerton isn't too worried whether she shimmers or stumbles at the Queensland State Championships, which start today, because she has eyes only for March's national championships which double as the Commonwealth Games trials in Sydney.

The Pro-Ma Miami marvel, who debuted at the World Championships in Rome earlier this year, is part of coach Denis Cotterell's 20-plus pod of competitors heading to the Brisbane Aquatic Centre at Chandler for the annual showdown which brings together over 2000 competitors across open and age group swimmers.

But the 17-year-old couldn't be more relaxed as she prepares to tackle a daunting program which will take in the 200m and 400m freestyle, the 200m and 400m individual medleys, not to mention the 4x100m medley and 4x100 freestyle relays.

"I'm really just viewing the meet as great practice going into the trials in March," explained Fullerton, whose program places her on a possible collision course with her idol and look-alike, triple Olympic gold medallist Stephanie Rice.

"For me, and a lot of the swimmers it's about qualifying for the Commonwealth Games. It would be a massive thrill to make the Australian team again."

The state titles are the last Australian meet before the full polyurethane suits are banned. During the week Fullerton posed in Sydney for the new compliant Speedo suits with Dolphins teammates Emily Seebohm, Leisel Jones, Libby Trickett, Bronte Barratt, Eamon Sullivan and Andrew Lauterstein.

She gets to try out her new suit tomorrow, and is confident it will keep her in the fast lane for a spot in the Australian squad for October's Commonwealth Games in Delhi.

The Miami contingent also includes Fullerton's close friend Katie Goldman who will go head-to-head with her in the 200m and 400m freestyle.

Jade Neilsen will swim the 100m and 200m freestyle while Amy Levings will churn up the lanes in the 200m and 400m butterfly, medley and freestyle.
