Over the weekend, Tora Delac, Jacob Bell, and Jy Parkinson competed at the Queensland Short Course Championships in Brisbane.
Coach, Mark Erickson was very impressed with his swimmers, who achieved 17 personal bests (PBs) from 20 swims.
Jy Parkinson was presented with one silver and six bronze medals. All his swims placed him in the Queensland ‘Top 10’.
He won the silver medal for his 200-metre Freestyle in an excellent time of 1.53.21. He won bronze medals for his 200-metre Butterfly, 200-metre Backstroke, 100-metre Backstroke, 100-metre Freestyle, 100-metre Butterfly and 400-metre Freestyle.
Jy swam an exceptional 200-metre Butterfly in 2.07.11 which was an 8.39sec personal best. He also swam super 400-metre Freestyle in 4.03.56 which was a 5.94 second personal best.
Jacob Bell opened the championships with a gold medal in 1500-metre Freestyle. He swam his 1500-metre Freestyle in 17.27.90. He also swam an awesome time of 4.20.61 in his 400-metre Freestyle to earn 10th place. His 50-metre Backstroke also earned him a 0.75sec personal best.
11-year-old Tora Delac thoroughly enjoyed the championships. She swam five PBs out of her six swims. She was very excited with her 50-metre Freestyle time of 32.66 (1.39 sec personal). Another of her best events was her 50-metre Backstroke, which took over two seconds off her previous best time.
Congratulations Jy, Jacob and Tora. The Cannons would thank the parents and coaches, Mark and Ken Crittenden for supporting the swimmers.
