The Cannonvale Cannons swimming team experienced a memorable evening this week as Jax Clayworth shattered a 23-year-old club record. Former Cannons swimmer Abel Morris, who set the 11-year-old 100 metres Butterfly record on March 7, 2001, made a special appearance to pass the honour to Clayworth.
Clayworth achieved an impressive time of 1:21.39 in the 100 metres Butterfly, surpassing Morris’ previous record by 0.20 seconds. Additionally, Jax set a new record in the 11-years 100 IM with a time of 1:21.59, highlighting his exceptional talent and hard work.
Morris, who swam with the Cannons from 1997 to 2003, still holds four other club records: the 9-years 200 IM, and the 10-years 100 metres and 200 metres Breaststroke, as well as the 11-years 200 IM. The club expressed its deep appreciation for Abel’s presence and his role in celebrating the new record holder.
The event also included several upgrade awards. Ruby Lawson was recognized for moving to the 200 IM, Kaitlyn Moon for advancing to the 50 metres Backstroke, Gracie Laguna for the 50 metres Butterfly, Pippa Laguna for the 50 metres Backstroke, and Liam Filewood for the 50 metres Breaststroke. Isaac Pisaniello received the coaches' award for his outstanding 50 metres Freestyle performance.
The night was further highlighted by thrilling races and numerous personal bests. Maeve Dichiera, Bonnie and Gracie Crichton, and Don Algie all achieved personal bests in every race they entered. Other notable performances came from Gracie Laguna, Kaitlyn Moon, Lennon Wild, Matilda Nicholes, Andie Reynolds, Celeste Orenshaw, and Erik Hinrichsen.
As the Cannons prepare for the Pioneer Transition Long Course Carnival on October 5th and 6th, they will continue their training over the holiday break, gearing up for an exciting carnival season.
