National Age Championships Team grows!!
We now have 4 new National Age qualifiers at the club who will join the National swim team heading to Adelaide at the end of April 2011.
Olivia Derndorfer, Brad Collins, Kiran Jasinghe and Andrew Kawai all swam below the qualifying times in their respective strokes at the State Age Championships.
Well done and good luck and have fun competing in Adelaide.
State Age and Open Championships
CA Tritons again took a large State team to the State Age and Open Championships held in December 2010 and early January 2011. For a lot of our younger swimmers it was their first time to a State competition and it can be very daunting. All swimmers swam their best with loads of PB’s swum. Congratulations to the following finalists and medallists.
State finalists:
Olivia Derndorfer, Andrew Kawai, Kiran Jasinghe, Remy Harvey, Rebecca Schwarz, Nic Schwarz, Jeff Fu, Raymond Mak, Sian Whittaker, Olivia Knowles, Des Cairns, Katelyn Van Der End, Morgan Khan, Rosemary Addison, Tom Newton, Al Cooper, Brad Collins, Jordan Chivers, Andrew Read, Joel Alati.
State Medallists:
Bronze: Olivia Derndorfer, Sian Whittaker, Andrew Kawai, Tom Newton, Jordan Chivers
Silver: Andrew Kawai, Andrew Read, Olivia Derndorfer (2)
Gold: Jordan Chivers (2), Sian Whittaker
Relays:
One of the clubs biggest investments each year are club relays, especially at the State Age Championships. The club had many relays entered across the meet with many placing in the Top 10. Albeit solid in the senior age groups the 14/u and 16/u relays do require improvement. The 12/u female relays show a strong group of swimmers coming through. Relays provide the best environment for team camaraderie and friendships to blossom. Solid teams are built of solid relays and solid groups amongst the program. We look forward to relays continuing to build the CA Tritons team across the years.
