SWIMMING CARNIVAL
RENMARK HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMING CARNIVAL RESULTS
February 7, 2020
After a drought breaking win by Chaffey in 2019, their team was looking strong and confident to take out this year’s event. The conditions were perfect and, as always the pool and surrounding areas looked great, full of colour with many students supporting their house. House Captains worked hard prior to the day to ensure their teams had every race filled but due to a variety of reasons (illness/injury and non-attenders) they were forced to make changes on the day resulting in a huge impact on the overall result.
There were many strong performances throughout the day from each of the teams with regular score updates highlighting the close competition between Sturt, Chaffey and Murray. Tintra battled hard but the gap was too big for them in the end. They were lucky enough to win the Splash Bucket. It was pleasing to see that three records were broken on the day:
- Bailey W U14 Breaststroke 37.68 seconds (1992 L Strachan 37.97)
- Jordan W U16 Breaststroke 36.68 seconds (1994 unknown 37.00)
- Madelyn L U15 Freestyle 30.33 seconds (1996 C Wilkinson 30.53)
Other strong individual efforts throughout the day include Summer T, Paityn M, Georgie P, Tianna I, Dylan W, Darcy Orr, Jenna L and Damon K.
As highlighted earlier, it was neck and neck throughout the day with the final relay deciding the overall winner, STURT winning by 1 point over Murray. Sturt topped off the upset win by also taking out the Most Improved Shield.
Congratulations and well done to everyone who attended the day and supported their house. Well done to the many students who stepped up and filled in for events, especially the 4 students who were nominated by their captains as ‘Most Dedicated’.
The team is looking strong for both the Interschool Swimming Carnival (Monday 17th February) and SSSSA Swimming Competition (Tuesday 3rd March – B Grade).
