Katherine Carnival 2008
Congratulations to all the swimmers who traveled to Katherine on the
weekend for our first carnival of the season. I was proud of your
efforts in the water and your behaviour and team spirit out of the
water.
24 swimmers swam in 100 individual events and came up with 61 personal
best swims. Just about every swimmer had at least 1 PB and quite a
number of you had lots. Some of the older swimmers were a bit
disappointed in a few of their swims; however, you need to remember we
had a late start to the season and then were interrupted with the
Masters Games. Other NT clubs have been in the water for a lot longer
than us. All this considered so early in the season, I think we did very
well as a team.
Overall our club came 4th out of 8 teams. 8 first place, 13
second place and 19 third place awards to individuals. Our senior boys
and girls relay teams only narrowly missed out on medals.
Taylor Chalker received the Age aggregate for 15 year old girls,
Rebecca Collins runner up for 16 yr old girls and Liam &
Ben tied for runner up in the 13 yr old boys.
Standout improvers for the weekend were Sean Nieuwenhoven, Liam
MacGillivray, Alana Fuller, Charlotte White, Jordan Hickey, Teagan
Hancock and Gus Muirhead.
Our team captains did a great job and thanks also to Moogie Curtis
our team manager, Lisa Fuller (part-time swimmer / part-time
assistant team manager) and all the other parent helpers on the weekend.
Look out for flyer and entry form for Tennant Creek Carnival 8th & 9th
November.
:) Happy Swimming,
Fiona
