The following students from each age group will now compete in the Beachside Division.

10 YO girls: Willow Devine 3rd (our first-ever medal at Balaclava XC)
10 YO boys: Archie Fifoot 9th*
11 YO girls: Esme Jackson-Lyng 10th*
11YO girls: Isla Tucker 11th*
11 YO boys: Onkaar Lamba 6th
12 YO girls: Clancy Westaway 4th

Special mention to 10 YO boy, Jock McKenzie 10th, who narrowly missed out to progress.

(* these students got through to Division as some students from Elsternwick are unavailable).

We had many students who also made the top 20, demonstrating a great depth to our team.

Many thanks to Anna Kasapis and Michelle Ryan who run many lunchtime training sessions with our squad.

VSAC Swimming Carnival on Monday 13 May

Congratulations to Kilvington swimmers Katya Richardson and Greta Saville who represented the EISM at the VSAC Swimming Carnival at MSAC on the evening of Monday 13 May.

This inter-association carnival has the best swimmers from all of Victoria’s main Independent and Catholic sporting competitions, including the APS, GSV and AGSV. Kilvington’s association, the EISM, finished in 3rd place overall on aggregate, demonstrating the strength and depth of our competition. Kilvington is a Division 1 EISM school.

Greta swam up an age group, and her relay team won silver in the 14YO girls freestyle relay.

Katya swam in the Open girls age group and won three silvers in the individual 50m freestyle, individual 50m backstroke and in the medley relay. She also won a bronze in the freestyle relay.

Kilvington is extremely proud to have two competitors in this high level meet, with the best swimmers in the State competing.
