Country Championships

2014 Victorian Country Swimming Championships

 Overall Yarrawonga/Mulwala competed in 48 individual events recording 14 personal best times with 3 finals and 3 emergency places.  Eight relay teams were entered with the club placing in the top ten three times and every team improving their entry time.

 There were many highlights from the weekend with some of them being:

 Club Captain Morgan Pitches competing in the Women 16-17yrs 100m Breaststroke final and placing 6^th.

 Past Club Captain Jocelyn Smith competing in the Women 18yrs & Over 50m Breaststroke final and placing 3^rd.

 Nicole Shiels competing in the Women 12yrs 100m Breaststroke final and placing 6^th.

 Lilly Mullins competing in her first ever Country Championships swam a strong 50m freestyle to be within .04 of her personal best time.

 Also competing in their first Victorian Country Swimming Championships as relay swimmers were Catherine Shaw and Kate Saunders.

 Individual Swimmers were:

Abbey Lawless, Georgia Lawless, Lilly Mullins, Madison Pease, Morgan Pitches, Eliza Shiels, Nicole Shiels, Philip Shiels, Thomas Shiels, Jocelyn Smith, Rhoanna Smith, Alexandra Stenhouse and Victoria Stenhouse.

 The results achieved by the swimmers are fantastic and a reward for the training they have been doing since June 2013, consisting of sessions in the Wangaratta before the pool in Yarrawonga opened.

 The teams focus now shifts to the Victorian Sprint Championships on the 8^thand 9^thFebruary and Ovens & Murray Championships on the 1^stand 2^ndMarch.
