Mt Eden Swimming Level 1 meet 13th May 2017

Eight of our L1 swimmers had an awesome day over the weekend at the Mt Eden Level one meet. This was the first level one meet for Sunny (11) (who made the L1 QT for 13 yrs & under at the NZ Junior Festival in Feb), Courtney Matthews(11) (who made the L1 QT for 13yrs & under at our club Champs) and Jacob Ryan (15) (just made the L1 QT in the 200IM a week ago).

These three L1 newbies together with Masa, Sasha, Elijah, Jack Kelly,& Grace put up a terrific performance and racked up a total of eight 1st, eight 2nd & two 3rd positions in their age groups. 17 Pb times had been smashed during the meet. Great overall results by any account considering we had to train through to the meet without resting.

Some of the swimmers surprised themselves with their achievements. I am particularly pleased with the boys 100 free in which all four big boys ( Masa, Elijah, Jacob & Sasha) made PB times.

Similarly Sunny & Grace swam brilliantly in the 400M & 800M Freestyle with new Pb time and came 1st & 2nd.

Both Courtney and Jack also did well in their races with Jack came 3rd in the 100 Back with 3 Pb times and Courtney swam her best by racking up two 1st , two 2nd positions. Well done team !! Great performance for our newbie L1 swimmers.

Keep up with the great work !
