Swim Team at the NSW CIS Championships
The Shore swimming team were strongly represented at the recent NSW CIS Championships, with 12 boys proudly representing the GPS after top three performances across the GPS season placed them onto the team.
To have this many boys on the GPS team is a great achievement and the boys should be commended for their efforts. The boys involved are Harrison A (Year 7), James Bestic (Year 11), William Bestic (Year 9), Ethan Cook (Year 11), Alexander Freischmidt (Year 8), Jonty Jagger (Year 9), Oliver Kelly (Year 10), Archie Lawry (Year 9), Noah McLaren (Year 9), Ethan Ng (Year 10), Harry Pollitt (Year 10) and Joshua Svensson (Year 8).
Top three placings include:
- Harrison A (Year 7) secured 3rd place in the 100 metre Freestyle in a time of 58.37
- William Bestic (Year 9) achieved 2nd place in the 50 metre Backstroke in a time of 29.02
- Noah McLaren (Year 9) claimed 3rd place in the 100 metre Freestyle in a time of 54.40
- The Intermediate 4 x 50 metre Freestyle Relay team, consisting of Noah McLaren, William Bestic, Ethan Ng, and Ollie Kelly, finished 3rd in a time of 1:41.42
- The Intermediate 4 x 50 metre Medley Relay team, comprising William Bestic, Harry Pollitt, Ethan Ng, and Noah McLaren, also finished 3rd in a time of 1:53.21
These achievements have earned these athletes the opportunity to represent CIS at the upcoming NSW All Schools championships which are to be held in late May. Congratulations to these swimmers for their success as they get back into the pool to prepare for this meet.
