Villainous national records were no match for our swimming superheroes at this weekend's North Island Champs.
Wonder Woman (Avy Judelson) orchestrated a stealth attack on the record for the women's 200 Free. She ensnared the record in her Lasso of Truth, found the record to be a lie, and set the record onto the path of honesty with a new time of 2.46
Giles (Captain America) Walker then noticed a dastardly record that had been lying underground for 13 years. Captain America laid his body on the line and dealt the supervillain a swift uppercut in just 32.03 seconds. KABOOM!
Congratulations to Avy and Giles, our 2 latest holders of individual records (to be ratified).
The whole team had a very successful weekend in Whakatane which for all intents and purposes seems to be a very quick pool.
Overall, there were 17 personal bests swum (6 of them by Tanya!) and Fiona and Giles won silver age group medals and Avy a gold age group medals. But, EVERYONE swum extraordinarily well and swum exceptional times. The hard work at training and on technical improvement has really paid off. No one left disappointed and a great time was had by all. Whakatane ran the meet like a well oiled machine and yes please if they want to put their hand up again.
A special mention also to Rachel who smashed out a 6.03 400m butterfly (holy cow!) and Richard who flew up and down the pool for 1500m in just 18m45 (more cows being holy!)
