Polding Swimming Championships
Here are a few photos of Isabel S at Polding earlier this week. She had a fantastic meet and came away with 1st in the junior girls 200IM!
Isabel's other results include:
1st junior girls 50m breaststroke
2nd junior girls 50m butterfly
3rd junior girls 50m backstroke
3rd junior girls 50m freestyle
What an incredible effort Issy!
The junior girls relay team dropped 9 seconds and came 6th overall! They swam so well! What an amazing experience for them all.
Jonah T had a great day and was really pleased with his results… 4 new PBs, some by 3 seconds and a 5th overall in butterfly.
Congratulations to Thomas I who competed at the Polding Swimming Championships in the Junior Boys backstroke event.
On Wednesday Isabel, Tilly and Thomas went to Sydney Olympic Pool to compete in the Polding Swimming Championships. Thomas competed in the 50m backstroke and placed 8th overall. Tilly competed in the junior girls 4x50 freestyle relay and placed 6th overall. Isabel competed in the junior 4x50 girls relay, the 200m IM, 50m backstroke, 50m breaststroke, 50m butterfly, 50m freestyle and won countless medals.
Competing at Sydney Olympic Pool was really nerve-racking but an exciting experience because some famous athletes have swum there. Isobel is now going to compete in the State Swimming Championships.
We had an amazing time, and we all did a PB (personal best). There was some very tough competition from all the dioceses and all of them wanted to win so badly.
