IGSA Swimming and Diving Championships Success

On 14 March, we had a team of 11 MLC School students compete at the IGSA Diving Championships at Sydney Olympic Park. The girls proudly represented MLC School in their various events, with some students progressing to the CIS championships in May.

Some notable results included:

Misha Behi (Year 12)
Tahlia Jeffery (Year 12)
Ada Savage (Year 9), and
Savannah Robinson (Year 7)

all qualifying for CIS, with Ada placing 1st in the opens platform in the IGSA competition and Tahlia placing 3rd in the IGSA competition in the 17+ springboard.

Another amazing achievement was in the teams event with a silver medal win to:

Clementine Lonergan (Year 8)
Isabella Ritchie (Year 8), and
Charlie McDonald (Year 9)

Last Friday, MLC School Swim Team competed in the IGSA Swimming Championships, racing in the highly competitive Division 1. The team put in a strong performance across all events, with numerous swimmers making the finals, and all our relay teams also qualifying for finals – an incredibly massive feat. A special mention to Iris Ji (Year 9), who secured an impressive silver in the 50m Breaststroke and bronze in the 50m Butterfly, moving onto CIS, and to Madison Chandler finishing 4th overall in the 50m Butterfly. At the end, MLC School finished 8th – an outstanding achievement at this level of competition.

For me, this IGSA marked the end of a journey that started back in Year 2, and it was incredible to see the team’s hard work and dedication come together one last time. The energy and support from everyone made for a great day, and we’re proud of the way our swimmers represented the school.
