In the end, the Australian won the contest 11.34 to Collapinto’s 1.97 to claim the title.
“This feels so amazing,” Ewing said.
“Coming into this event as the top seed gave me confidence from the get go and it all just kept running smoothly from the start of the week.
“It all just went to plan.”
In the girl’s final, Callaghan (15.67) defeated Hawaii’s Mahina Maeda (4.60) to bring home the junior world title.
