Cannons Shine at Pioneer Meet with Medals, PBs, and Age Champion Titles

Day 2 of the Pioneer Long Course Transition Meet saw 37 swimmers from the Cannonvale Cannons showcase their skills, securing multiple medals, personal bests (PBs), and age champion titles. The Cannons continued their strong performance over the two-day event, with their determination and talent on full display.

Several standout swimmers earned medals in all their events, including Don Algie, Jacob Bell, Harry Chegwidden, Tora Delac, Charlie Doherty, Thomas Ganter, Lucas Korosec, and Isaac Pisaniello. Their consistency in the pool was remarkable, and they were rewarded with well-deserved accolades.

A special mention goes to those who smashed their PBs during the meet.

Congratulations to Harry Chegwidden, Declan Dichiera, Evelyn Doherty, Lucas Korosec, Celest Orenshaw, Andie and Dylan Reynolds, Adelaide Sanders, and Indi and Levi Smith for pushing their limits and achieving outstanding results.

In addition to the medals and PBs, several Cannons swimmers were crowned Age Champions. Charlie Doherty (13yrs Runner-Up), Tora Delac (14yrs), Don Algie (11yrs), Declan Dichiera (11yrs Runner-Up), Elouise Chegwidden (9yrs Runner-Up), and Lucas Korosec (8yrs Runner-Up) all earned prestigious titles for their age groups.

The excitement continued at this week's Club Night, where three new Club Records were set. Jax Clayworth (11yrs) broke the 400IM record, Harris Delac (10yrs) set a new mark in the 800m Freestyle, and Jacob Bell (17yrs) now holds the record in the 1500m Freestyle.

Further congratulations go to Charlie Doherty, Don Algie, Jax Clayworth, Andie Reynolds, and Tiana Bell for achieving their 1500m Freestyle upgrades. This milestone represents the highest achievement in the freestyle upgrade ladder. Ruby Lawson and Kaitlyn Moon also deserve recognition for reaching new distances in the 200m Freestyle and 25m Butterfly, respectively.

Well done to all the Cannons swimmers for their incredible efforts and achievements!
