Jasper D.S. and Emma R. from Year 5 powered the Heathdale Primary Swim Team to second place at the District Swim Carnival which took place on Thursday 26th February at Melton Waves.
Jasper took out an unprecedented FIVE first place finishes: three individual golds (10 Girls Freestyle, Breaststroke and Butterfly) along with two team golds (Girls Open Medley and 10 Girls Freestyle Relay), whilst Emma finished 1st in 11 Girls Freestyle, Breaststroke, Girls Open Medley and 11 Girls Freestyle Relay.
Along with Scarlett M. (1st in 11 Girls Butterfly) and a fantastic support cast of swimmers, we were propelled to within 8 points of taking the district shield from perennial champions Melton Primary School – the closest we have gotten to the 10x champions since our involvement. An unbelievable effort!
Place getters then took on the best in northwest Melbourne at the Division Championship this week. More updates to follow!
