The day started off with some strong team performances in the Medley Relay, in particular our Senior team who walked away with a 2^nd place overall. We also experienced success in the freestyle relay with the Intermediate girls placing 3^rd as well as a 3^rd place in the All Age Relay.

Individually, the girls also performed extremely well with Annalise D placing 1^st in the 50m freestyle and 2^nd in the 100 freestyle, Alana P placing 1^st in the 50m backstroke and 3^rd in the 50m butterfly, Brianna H placing 2^nd in the 100m breaststroke and 3^rd in the 50m backstroke, Hayley C placing 3^rd in the 50m butterfly, 100m freestyle and 50m backstroke and Ilori P placing 3^rd in the 50m freestyle. With all of these students in our junior school, the future of swimming at St Pat's looks very bright.

The 2018 team consisted of Niamh G, Eden G, Hayley C, Annalise D, Brianna H, Emilee O, Jarian H, Amelia A, Tia B, Chantal M, Rory M, Ilori P, Caragh P, Gabrielle P, Hannah P, Bianca R, Monique R, Chantel S, Jermaine D, Isabel L and Alana P.

I would like to acknowledge the support of our parents who attended on the day and in particular Mr Lord for his expert management of the team.

Congratulations to Annalise D and Alana P who will now go onto represent the Diocese of Wollongong at the NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Championships and also to Hayley C who finished in 3^rd Place in the 12 Years Age Champion point score.
