It’s been a huge week for the Cannonvale Cannons with plenty to celebrate across club night, carnivals, and representative events.
At our weekly club night, swimmers were recognised for their efforts with Chocolate Awards presented to Pippa Laguna, Miller Eaves, and Zane Clayworth. Coaches Awards went to Eric Mulliss for a strong 100IM and Caleb Woolston for an impressive 50m Freestyle. Upgrades were awarded to Zane Clayworth, Gracie Crichton, Miller Eaves, Eloise Chegwidden, Caleb Woolston, Matilda Nicholes, Kaitlyn Moon, Airlie Mladenovski, Asher Springbett, Levi Smith, Liam Filewood, and Gracie Laguna. Club Records were also broken by Eloise Chegwidden in the 200IM, and Harry Chegwidden in both the 25m Backstroke and 25m Breaststroke.
Over the weekend, 18 Cannons travelled to the 2025 Bowen Family Long Course Transition Meet. This relaxed and fun carnival is perfect for developing swimmers and those chasing A Grade upgrades. Congratulations to Liam Filewood, Lucas Korosec, and Addie Sanders who achieved Swimming North Queensland A Grade times! Top performers based on personal bests included Evie Doherty, Liam Filewood, Roxanne Groom, Stella Mulliss, Miranda Palmero, and Faithlyn Trotter.
Meanwhile, four of our Cannons headed south on Sunday to tackle the Mirani Triathlon — well done to Penelope and River Shields, Millie Groom, and Matilda Nicholes for representing the club in true Cannons style.
And finally, a huge congratulations to our swimmers who have been selected for the North Queensland Schools Team to compete at the State Championships in Brisbane. We wish them all the very best and look forward to cheering them on and reporting back next week, GO CANNONS!
