Our annual swimming carnival was held on Wednesday February 10th at the Yass Pool. It was a great day with many outstanding performances. A big thank you to the Year 12 students for their excellent participation and the delicious food they prepared for staff and students. Thank you to all our wonderful staff for your excellent contribution to our very successful day.
The participation by our students was very pleasing, in particular the number of younger students who got in and had a go simply to gain points for their respective houses.
We had a number of records broken throughout the day with Liana Deery’s swim in the 200IM on Tuesday resulting in her smashing the existing record by over 10 seconds. She continued her impressive form with record breaking swims in the 13yrs 50m breaststroke, 50m backstroke and 50m butterfly. Lara McClelland also swam under the record in the 200IM and 50m backstroke whilst finishing 2nd.
Felicity Shannon broke records in the 14years girls 100m Freestyle, 50m Freestyle and 50m Backstroke.
Riley Gibbs set a new record in the 15 years boys 100m Freestyle as well.
A big congratulations to Hovell on their win at the carnival with 1490 points. Hume were second on 1437 followed by Oxley with 1105 then Sturt with 1037.
