Australian Pool Rescue Champs 2014 Wrap up...Aussie Pool Rescue Report Well done to the small team of Queensie competitors who competed at this weekend’s Aussie Pool Rescue Titles at Homebush. This was the last hit out before Worlds in France for our Australian Open and Australian Youth Team (Under 18). Maybe in 2 years some of our competitors will be on this team preparing for Worlds in Holland. Queensie came away with a record haul of medals, top six placings and an Australian Record. Queensie finished 11th overall out of the 40 clubs competing. Under 15 competitors Hannah Baldwin, Zac Lai, Oliver Boyce, Daniel Ferreira, Isaac Smith & Callum Lowe-Griffiths all performed very well with many personal bests. The boys won Relay Golds in both the U/ 15 200m Obstacle & 200m Medley Relays – Ferreira, Smith, Boyce & Lowe-Griffiths Unfortunately a 13 sec new Aussie Record in the third relay was disallowed under contentious circumstances. Lowe-Griffiths & Ferreira also managed a top 6 in the Line Throw too. Individually the lads did brilliantly almost making a clean sweep of the gold medals to Queensie in the individual events. Isaac Smith won 2 individual Golds in both the 50m Mannikin Carry and 100m Mannikin Carry with fins the latter in a new Australian Record. Callum Lowe-Griffiths 2 Golds (200 Obstacle and 100 Mannikin Tow with Fins), 1 silver (50m Free with fins) and 1 bronze (100m Mannikin Carry) Daniel Ferreira 1 silver (200m Obstacle) and 1 Bronze (50m Free with fins) Under 12’s Jonah Gerritsen competed in his first pool rescue titles and came away with one silver and 2 bronze in the 3 events he entered. (100m Obstacle, 50m Brick Carry and 50m Freestyle with fins) Well done to all competitors and many thanks to all the parents for their assistance with transportation and their support of the team over the weekend. Thank also to their coach Chris Allum for their carnival preparation.
