Seven Cannonvale Cannons took to the pool at the 2025 Hancock Prospecting Queensland Short Course Championships, held at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre in Chandler.
Representing the club were Harris and Tora Delac, Thomas Ganter, Ruby Harland, Celeste Orenshaw, and brothers Alex and Zach Trefz. Sadly, Tyler Bennett, who had qualified for three events, was forced to withdraw due to illness.
The four-day competition was split into seven sessions and saw the Cannons deliver outstanding performances.
Harris Delac contested five events, securing four personal bests (PBs), including a huge 2.58-second improvement in his 200-metre freestyle to place 17th in the state. His strength in middle-distance freestyle also earned him 14th place in the 400-metre freestyle.
Big sister Tora also qualified for five events, posting a PB in every race. Her standout swim was the 50-metre breaststroke, where a 1.29-second PB earned her 8th place in Queensland.
Thomas Ganter competed in three events, achieving PBs across the board, highlighted by a 4.30-second drop in his 200-metre individual medley (IM) to place 21st.
Ruby Harland raced three events, celebrating two notable PBs, including breaking the 30-second barrier in the 50-metre freestyle — a milestone achievement.
Celeste Orenshaw swam two events, recording PBs in both.
Alex Trefz contested three events, all PBs, with his highlight a 4.20-second drop in the 50-metre backstroke, taking him well under 40 seconds.
Zach Trefz delivered a stellar meet, achieving PBs in all six of his events and earning three top-ten finishes — 8th in the 100-metre backstroke and 50-metre butterfly, and 10th in the 100-metre IM.
The Cannons congratulate all swimmers on their composure, hard work, and outstanding representation of the club. Support the team by joining us for our meat tray raffles at the Reef Gateway this Friday, 22 August. Every bit of support helps our community club.
