Tenison Woods
College Swimming Carnival
Woods
House have made a splash at Tenison Woods Colleges 36th
Inter-house swimming carnival claiming victory on Monday,
breaking a 12 year drought to have their names engraved as
the 2010 winners on the Maney Shield.
In a
tight battle to the end Woods led the carnival on 4,163
points, ahead of MacKillop with 4,059, McAuley on 3,891
points and Champagnat with 3,829 points.
With the
mercury hitting 35.6 degrees, it proved ideal weather
conditions for the carnival as students filled the Aquatic
Centre decked out in their house colours with team spirits
taking over the pool as the championship events began.
Tenison
Woods College Sports Coordinator Daniel Stratford
congratulated students on their outstanding efforts and
thanked the house captains who led their teams to great
success.
It was
great to see students willing to compete in all of the
events, with many young students competing well above their
age groups to gain valuable points for their house.
The
enthusiasm of students in all Houses was great to see Mr
Stratford said.
Even in
the hottest part of the day students still backed their
teams through to the end.
Twelve
records were broken at the carnival with several talented
young swimmers recording outstanding individual achievements
throughout the day including Emily Gazzard who broke records
in every Under 13 Female stroke.
Madelyn
van de Veerdonk and Nick Jenkin were also successful in
breaking records in the Under 20 Female Breastroke and Under
