The Cannonvale Cannons put on a stellar performance at the 73rd Annual North Queensland Long Course Championships in Townsville over the weekend, hosted by Swimming North Queensland. This highly competitive event sees swimmers and clubs battle it out for Age Group Champions, Champion Club, and Parade Winner titles.
The Cannons are proud to announce that Jax Clayworth was named 11 Years Men Age Champion, while Jacob Bell took home the 17 Years & Over Men Age Champion title.
Adding to the club’s success, three Cannons swimmers were presented Swimming North Queensland Records. Jax Clayworth claimed the 11 Years 400IM record, Eloise Chegwidden set records in the 9 Years 25m Breaststroke and 25m Backstroke, and Lucas Korosec broke the 8 Years 25m Backstroke record.
The excitement kicked off on Friday evening with the much-loved club relays. The Cannons secured bronze in the 400m Medley (12 & Over Girls) and the Mixed 200m Medley, while the 8 to 12 Years Boys team claimed silver in both the 200m Medley Relay and the 200m Freestyle Relay.
Saturday and Sunday saw two intense days of individual racing, with all Cannonvale Cannons swimmers putting in outstanding performances. Many achieved personal bests and secured strong individual placings, showcasing their dedication and competitive spirit.
A special mention to our senior swimmers who reached the finals: Jacob Bell, Tora Delac, Zach Trefz, Tyler Bennett, Isabella Pisaniello, Isaac Pisaniello, Ella Bounden, Thomas Ganter, Mae Carter Atwood, Tiana Bell, and Ruby Lawson. Among them, Jacob, Tiana, Tora, Ella, Tyler, Zach, Isabella, and Mae all secured gold in at least one final.
Finally, a standout performance came from Zach Trefz who made the finals in 11 of his events to then take home three gold, five silver and a bronze, earning the most points for the Cannonvale Cannons.
