This past weekend, the Airlie Beach Triathlon witnessed remarkable performances from our local athletes. Among the competitors were Don Algie, Lucas Korosec, Roxie Groom, Zane Clayworth, Matilda Nicholes, and Penelope Shields. Demonstrating their determination, Don Algie and Lucas Korosec both secured third place in their respective age divisions, marking a significant achievement for the duo. Don Algie also went on to secure second place in the 350m Open Water Swim.
Millie Groom delivered an outstanding performance, placing second in the 750m Open Water Swim, competing against seasoned open water swimmers. Millie also went on to secure first place in the Enticer Distance Triathlon.
After the events, the competing Cannons were treated to a personal session with former Olympian Susie O'Neill. The Australian champion shared invaluable tips on training, racing, and maintaining a positive mindset, leaving our athletes inspired and motivated. A big thank you to Susie for taking the time to meet with our young swimmers.
In another display of local talent, seven swimmers traveled to Townsville to compete in the Gardens Short Course Meet. Representing the Cannons were Tora and Harris Delac, Andie and Dylan Reynolds, Ruby and Koa Harland, and Thomas Ganter. Their participation in this event underscores the dedication and competitive spirit of these local swimmers.
As we celebrate these achievements, we are also eagerly anticipating our first club night on Wednesday, August 7th. This event officially marks the start of our 2024/2025 swimming season, and we look forward to our swim community coming together to support our athletes. Club Nights are a great opportunity for our swimmers to test themselves in a fun, low-stress environment. Operating like a real swim meet, they allow swimmers to become familiar with the meet environment and see how all their training is benefiting them with improved times.
