On Wednesday night, the Cannonvale Cannons hosted their first Distance Club Night for 2024. Swimmers had an opportunity to swim a longer distance in two events. The Cannons would like to commend Matilda Nicholes and Millie Groom for being selected for the NQ team to compete in the Queensland Schools Aquathon/Triathlon Championships in Hervey Bay. Both girls backed up and on the same weekend competed in the Queensland Sprint Championships. The Cannonvale Cannons are sorry that Matilda Nicholes didn’t appear in the team photo last week. Congratulations to Eric Mulliss, Harris Delac, Charlie Leeder, Frankie Leeder, Aria Crawford, Jasper Korosec, and Jax Eaves for achieving Upgrades. Congratulations to Zach Trefz for winning the Chocolate Award for the best PB.
Tora Delac and Jack Ganter swam a 1500-meter Freestyle for the first time, both making the 60 laps in under 21 minutes. Well done to Thomas Ganter, Ruby Harland, and Zachary Trefz who swam their first 800-meter freestyle! Even though Jacob Bell and Nelson Malady didn’t swim a PB, they swam the 800-meter freestyle very smoothly. Well done to Matilda Nicholes, Jacob Bell, Tora Delac and Ruby Harland for conquering one of the toughest swim challenges, the 400-meter IM.
Other highlights include Harris Delac swimming a 36.54 second PB in his 200-meter freestyle. Lily Maher and Tiana Bell both swam a fantastic 400-meter freestyle, achieving massive PBs. Noah Maltby swam a cracking time of 2.47.25 in his 200-meter breaststroke, at a 30.66 second PB. Leo Mullis, aged 7 years, swam an impressive 25-meter Backstroke in 34.48 seconds. Addie Sanders & Liam Filewood swam super times in their 100-meter freestyle, achieving huge PBs. Indi Smith swam two massive PBs in her 200-meter backstroke and 100-meter breaststroke. Indi’s brother, Levi swam a 14.32 second PB in his 200-meter IM.
