This past weekend, six dedicated Cannonvale Cannons swimmers braved the sweltering temperatures in the forties to compete at the Moranbah Highlanders Swim Meet. We extend a big thank you to the Harland and Chegwidden families, who proudly represented the Cannons.
Four of our talented swimmers achieved remarkable results, placing first in every event they entered. Eloise and Harry Chegwidden, along with Blaire and Tate Harland, displayed exceptional skill and determination with Ruby Harland also placing first in 8 of her ten events. Additionally, Koa Harland had an outstanding day, achieving personal bests (PBs) in all ten of her races—a fantastic accomplishment in such challenging conditions.
Back at our home pool, this week’s Club Night was particularly special as we welcomed representatives from our major sponsor, Tassal. Jo and Courtney, visiting from Tassal's head office in Tasmania, joined us for an exciting night of club racing. They enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere and had the honour of presenting awards and upgrades.
The presentations began with Jax Clayworth being recognized once again for his impressive achievement, as he broke his own 11 years 50m Butterfly Club Record. The following swimmers received upgrades for their progress and hard work: Isla Johnston, Indigo Harland, Harry Chegwidden, Miller Eaves, Ruby Lawson, Lily Maher, Eloise Chegwidden, and Harry Chegwidden.
Two of our talented swimmers, Tora Delac and Jacob Bell, were presented with Swimming Queensland Caps to celebrate their inclusion in the Bronze and Blue Development Squads. Tora was also awarded a towel in recognition of her place in the prestigious 2024 SNQ National Performance Squad.
This coming weekend, Cannonvale Cannons swimmers will head to Mackay to compete in the 51st GBR Long Course Transition meet, a highlight of the swimming circuit. We wish our swimmers the best of luck for another weekend of fierce competition.
