Student Sporting Success

Congratulations to Year 8 student Matilda Forrest who is currently representing Tasmania at the School Sport Australia Swimming Championships in Sydney at Olympic Park. Between the swimming and diving events, there are over 1100 competitors from around Australia representing their states.

Matilda, who swims for The Hobart Aquatic Club, swam the 50m Butterfly in 31.86 which was a PB and 16th in her age group, the 200m IM in 2.39.30 which was another PB and 12th in her age group and the 100m Freestyle in 1.15.92 a further PB and 12th again in her age group. She still has 50m Backstroke to compete in later in the meet. What amazing results!
