Mackay Surf Lifesaving Club recently hosted the 35th annual North Australian Titles, which saw over 1000+ lifesavers, water safety, carnival officials and spectators descend on Mackay’s beautiful Harbour Beach. The Mackay hosts did exceedingly well in the region, beating fellow clubs Eimeo and Sarina, as well as outperforming large clubs from around the state.
The club had some outstanding achievements placing 5th overall, with strong performances in marquee events such as the Lifesaver relay, All Age relay and Taplin relay’s.
Mackay SLSC Director of Surf Sports, Josh Grant said, “The club is very proud of our small but strong competition group, from the nippers in U11’s to our masters.
“To see our competitors take on the best of the best in regional Qld and achieve some great results, is a credit to the culture and commitment we have at our club. The feedback I have received from visiting clubs is that they love coming here and competing at one of the best beaches in Queensland.
“ I would just like to thank all the clubs that made the effort and travelled to Mackay for the Nth Aussies, we hope to see you next year!”
“It was very pleasing to see Kody Amos (U13), Hayden Tobin (U14), Isabella Grant & Cadence McKinnon (U15), Zara Richardson and Nate McKinnon (U17) selected for the Qld Country team based on their outstanding results.” Mr Grant said.
“It’s a fantastic result to place with the best of the best of Northern Australia and regional Qld. The club is going from strength to strength, and we are now preparing our lifesavers for Branch Titles at Eimeo in a few weeks”.
