2009 World Championships
Day 1 brought the 4 – 100 m freestyle relay, and with the absence of Eamon Sullivan and Ashley Callus, Australia were never in medal territory, finishing eighth. The 100 m butterfly final saw Lauterstein set an Australian record, but he failed to get on the podium. After two disappointing finals, he did not leave Rome empty handed, capturing a bronze medal in the 4x100m medley relay. In the preliminaries, he clocked a 50.16, which is the second fastest 100 butterfly split in history behind Michael Phelps.
