College Swimming Carnival

On 10 February the College held its annual swimming carnival at the Gordon Fetterplace Aquatic Centre. The weather was a little too nice to us and delivered a 35°C day which made conditions challenging for competitors, officials and spectators alike.

 

Once again, the swimming carnival revealed a wealth of swimming talent with some extremely fast times being recorded throughout the day. It is amazing to watch these talented athletes gliding effortlessly through the water with such precision, purpose and finesse.

Our top performing students (Age Champions) on the day were:

12 Years – Indianah P (Lyons)

13 Years – Alexandra N (Chisholm)

14 Years Joint Champions - Olivia K (Kenny) / Hannah W (Lyons)

15 Years – Caitlin R (Lyons)

16 Years – Sianna F (Kenny)

17+ Years – Abbie H (Gilmore)

Overall Age Champion – Caitlin R

The race to be Overall Age Champion was extremely tight with Caitlin R prevailing over Abbie H and Alexandra N by 4 points.

As well as the competitive races, we also had our novelty events and aquathon which provided all students the opportunity to be involved in the day and gain valuable house points.

The aquathon was hotly contested with Ilori P taking out first place, Caitlin R in second and Amy Y in third.

2022 was officially the closest result we have ever had in relation to the champion house. A massive congratulations must go to the Lyons house on winning the carnival, but it would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the outstanding effort from the Kenny house who pushed Lyons all day. Gilmore finished in third place, with Chisholm close behind in fourth.

A massive thank you to all staff, student and spectators for your involvement and engagement throughout the day.
