The Cannonvale Cannons had a busy week in and out of the pool, kicking off with 23 swimmers competing in the Burdekin Sprint LC Transition Meet on the weekend. Despite the sweltering conditions, the team delivered impressive performances, with standout personal bests (PBs) achieved by Roxanne Groom, Gracie Laguna, Pippa Laguna, Ruby Lawson, and Sophie Palmero. A special congratulations went to Nelson Malady and Levi Smith, who triumphed in their Dash for Cash events, each earning a well-deserved $100 prize.
Midweek, the excitement continued with an action-packed club night attended by 50 swimmers. Upgrade certificates were awarded to Ella Haddock, Zane Clayworth, Indigo Harland, Reid Springbett, Mackenzie Bennett, Gracie Laguna, Evie Doherty, and Indiana De-Lisle. The evening also celebrated new club records achieved by Eloise Chegwidden, Harry Chegwidden, and Jacob Bell.
Jacob Bell, who set an incredible three records in the 18 years and over category, will soon be leaving the club to begin university in Townsville. Jacob has been a role model for many of our junior swimmers, and his presence will be greatly missed. He has been a proud Cannon for 12 years!
Notable PBs on the night were achieved by Zane Clayworth, Jax Eaves, Liam Filewood, Lucas Korosec, Gracie Laguna, Sophie Palmero, Isabella Pisaniello, and Lennon Wild. Congratulations to all swimmers for their hard work and dedication!
Looking ahead, the Cannonvale Cannons are gearing up to host their annual Summer Carnival this weekend, welcoming 195 swimmers from across North Queensland. We wish all competitors the best of luck - swim fast, have fun, and enjoy the spirit of competition!
The Cannonvale Cannons continue to demonstrate their strength, sportsmanship, and passion for the sport, making their community proud.
