Mansfield swimmers make waves in Wangaratta

SWIMMING A TEAM of ten Mansfield swimmers competed in the Wangaratta Amateur swim club short course meet on Sunday July 14 with outstanding results. Junior swimmers Haim Wolfe (eight), Frankie McCoombe (eight) and Clara Creighton (seven) made the most of the 25 metre races on offer, cementing their racing skills and demonstrating how hard they have been working on their swimming these last few months with Haim taking away a gold medal in the backstroke. Zali McCoombe (10) and Addi Borg (10) both surprised us with their 50 metre events. Zali smashed seven seconds off her breaststroke time showing us why she loves it so much whilst Addi knocked nearly five seconds from her freestyle. Edward Creighton (nine) brought home three medals across his 50 metre races as well as dropping serious seconds in five out of his seven individual events. Zac Borg (12) stepped out of his comfort zone to take on new events and then came home third in his favourite 50 metre fly with a four second PB. Levi McCoombe (11) showed us how hard he has been working on his breaststroke this winter with new PBs in both the 50 metre and 100 metre races. Senior swimmers Rowena Creighton (12) and Keziah Wolfe (13) were strategic in their entries this meet which showed in their results with both girls nailing their qualifying times for the State Age Championships to be held in September at MSAC. The day was a testament to their hard work over the last 12 months and the results of some serious goal setting. It’s fantastic to see that our swimmers are achieving great results as they travel to train in Benalla over winter.
