On March17, nine students travelled to Gordon Fetterplace Aquatic Centre, Bradbury to compete in the Regional Swimming Championships. All nine students swam their best and the results achieved were outstanding.
Chloe Ang has made history for Smithfield Public School. She competed in 5 individual events and has qualified for State in every single one, truly amazing! Her results included: 1st in the 50m Freestyle, Breastroke, Butterfly and 200m Medley and 2nd in the 50m Backstroke. Chloe along with Katelyn Siv, Jasmine Sar and Helana Carroll competed in the Jnr Girls Relay which placed 12th out of 24, beating their zone time by an amazing 17 seconds. Katelyn Siv also placed 10th in the 50m Breastroke.
Christopher Huynh swam brilliantly and he too will go to State in the 50m Breastroke placing 2nd. Christopher also placed 5th in the 200m Medley, 5th in the 50m Backstroke, 12th in the 50m Butterfly and13th in the 50m Freestyle. Christopher also swam in the Jnr Boys Relay with Francesco Panuccio, Owen Thai and Marcus Carbone and they placed 18th out of 24.
Kaitlin Nguyen swam well in the 12yrs 50m Backstroke as did Francesco Panuccio in the 9yrs 50m Freestyle.
The excellent swimming that our team produced awarded Smithfield PS 10th place out of 288 schools in the region. Fantastic!
Well done and congratulations to all of you.
Good luck to Chloe and Christopher as they move forward and compete in the State Swimming Championships next Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th March at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre Homebush.
Thank you to all the wonderful parents who attended, for the support and encouragement you gave the students. I greatly appreciate your efforts.
