Three from Three in West Zone Swimming Relays

Well done to our swimming team who competed at the West Zone Swimming Championships at Jellie Park today.

We had a great start to the meet with our three relay teams winning their contests. The 8 and 9 year old teams were dominant in their events then the 10 year old mixed 4 x 50m team had a titanic tussle with the Villa Maria/St. Thomas' team. It was left to Jared C. to edge us in front over the last 10 metres to book their place at the Primary Sports Canterbury Swimming Championships on Monday March 30th at QEII.

The children who qualified for the PSC Champs at QEII are:
9 years relay team: Alex H., Sam H., Annabelle W and Sophie W.
10 years relay team: Henry I., Caitlin H., Emma T., Jared C.
9 years girls freestyle: Sophie W.
9 years girls backstroke: Emma W.
9 years boys freestyle: Alex H. and Sam H.
9 years boys backstroke: Alex H. and Moss J.
10 years boys freestyle: Jared C.
10 years boys backstroke: Henry I.
Open butterfly: Jared C.

As well as the above children who were first or second we had numerous other victories in the 8 year old races and thirds and finalists in other events for the 9 and 10 year olds. A special mention of Jared C. who had three victories from three events that you are allowed to enter and also a mention of Alex H. who is our other swimmer to qualify in three events.
