The Cannonvale Cannons Swimming Club had an exciting start to the 2024 Queensland Swimming Championships in Brisbane last week, with 11 swimmers and two dedicated coaches making the journey to compete.
The championships kicked off on Saturday with the club and regional relays. For the first time in a while, the Cannons were able to nominate club relay teams, allowing Alex Trefz and Harris Delac the opportunity to swim in this prestigious event. Swimmers Tiana Bell, Tyler Bennett, Ella Bounden, Tora Delac, Isaac Pisaniello, Isabella Pisaniello, and Zach Trefz took part in three club relays, while Harris Delac, Jacob Bell, and Alex Trefz competed in one relay. Coaches Mark Erickson and Ken Crittenden were proud of the team’s performance, commending the swimmers on their warm-up, positive attitude, and efforts in the relays.
A highlight of the event was the selection of eight Cannons swimmers for the regional relay teams, representing Swimming North Queensland (SNQ). Tora Delac, Ella Bounden, Tiana Bell, Isabella Pisaniello (reserve), Isaac Pisaniello, Zach Trefz, Tyler Bennett, and Jacob Bell swam together in these regional relays and represented SNQ with pride. A special thank you goes to Mark Erickson for coaching the male relay teams and Theresa Manning for managing the SNQ relays.
The week continued with individual events, and on Sunday, Tyler Bennett, aged 13, competed in his 100m Freestyle, swimming a remarkable personal best time of 1:02.68, shaving off 1.19 seconds from his previous best. Well done, Tyler!
The Cannonvale Cannons Swimming Club extends its congratulations to all the swimmers on their relay results and wishes them the best of luck in their individual races throughout the championships. A big thank you goes to all the parents, coaches, and supporters for their continued dedication and efforts in making this trip possible. Stay tuned for more updates as the Cannons continue to compete at the Queensland Championships.
