Brilliant performances from our students at Riverina Swimming Champs

16 Parkview Public School students represented Leeton-Narrandera PSSA at the Riverina PSSA Swimming Carnival hosted at the Albury Swim Centre last Monday, 7^th March. Our students acquitted themselves extremely well, producing some outstanding results from the various events on the day including six top 10 finishes.

The biggest news from the day came in the form of Daniella Draper's achievement, earning the title of Riverina Champion in the 8 Years Girls 50m Freestyle after stopping the clock at 49.43 after touching the wall first! Tamika Rourke also earned an accolade after recording an impressive time of 37.44, placing 3^rd in the 10 Years Girls 50m Freestyle while Scott Draper's 1:42.94 in the SWD S6 50m Freestyle also earned him a place on the Riverina Team to contest the State Championships at Homebush Bay in April.

Our other competitors acquitted themselves with distinction throughout the day. Tatum Marks produced a personal best in the 11 Years 50m Butterfly, whilst Kobe O'Callaghan, Tyler O'Connell and Ruby Miller were all competitive in their events. The school was represented by three relay teams during the day, all teams producing improved showings from the times recorded at the LNPSSA Carnival.

A huge thank you is extended to all of the parents and community members who made the trek to Albury to support the children.
