During the school holidays, local Cannonvale Cannons’ swimmer, Jy Parkinson, attended the Australian Age Swimming Championships held in Adelaide.
The 16-year-old achieved outstanding results in all his events. He had a massive programme of 10 swims including finals.
Jy’s coaches, Mark Erickson and Ken Crittenden are very proud of Jy’s accomplishments.
Jy has been committed to his swim training and has worked hard to qualify and compete at this national level.
He is an excellent ambassador for the Cannons, NQ and Queensland and proudly supported his fellow Swimming North Queensland athletes as the SNQ Captain.
Jy smashed out eight personal best times which is not an easy feat at this high level. He made three finals and came 6th in the 200 metre backstroke with a time of 2.08.85 seconds , 6th in the 100 metre backstroke in a time of 59.33 seconds and 9th in the 50 metre backstroke in a time of 27.79 seconds.
He also achieved 13th for his 100 metre butterfly, 15th for his 200 metre IM, 26th for his 200 metre freestyle and 38th for his 100 metre Freestyle.
Jy was also named in the Queensland Mixed Medley relay team.
Since finishing his last swim he has stated that he wants to get back to training so he can come back bigger and stronger next year. Jy would also like to thank his family for all their support over the years. Congratulations, Jy Parkinson on your remarkable achievements.
