Sensational Stella!!! Winner of both the9 years girls' 50m Freestyle
and Backstroke at the
Primary Sports Canterbury Swimming Championships!!!!
2nd fastest 9 years mixed relay team in Canterbury:Bayley, Stella, Sam and Jacob
As you can see, the Swimming Team had great success at the Primary Sports Canterbury Swimming Championships at QEII today! The toughest grade to win is the 9 year old grade as the 10 years and above are weakened due to children being at Intermediate and racing next week. So Stella and the relay team did exceptionally well!
The 9 years relay was very exciting with our team 4th fastest qualifier and beaten by 4 seconds by St. Albans in their heat - but they had held back a little in reserve. In the final St. Albans got out to a big lead by swimming their fastest two swimmers one and two, but gradually both Paparoa St. and FOS began pegging them back. The final 50m was a real tussle with both Pap. St. and us (Stella) mowing St. Albans down and finally the Paparoa St. boy (later the winner of the 9 years boys' 50m freestyle final!) just holding out Stella who had steamed past St. Albans.
Stella was all class in her races, finishing strongly in both finals to win convincingly and be one of the swimmers of the meet! What a Champion!

Congrats to all of you!!! it was a fantastic effort by all eight Fendalton students involved and was so exciting to see Stella and the relay team do so well. A big thankyou to Paul Norton for all his work and for encouraging the kids so much.
