CIS Swimming Championships

Last week two of Emanuel’s elite swimmers competed at the prestigious Combined Independent Schools (CIS) Swimming Championships. This event was held over two days at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre, with the best swimmers in the NSW independent system participating.

Jared Elbourne once again qualified to compete at the CIS Championships this year. He swam a personal best time of 34.46s in the 50m breaststroke and was placed fifth in this event, which is a fantastic result.

Gabriella Goodridge qualified to compete at this Carnival for the first time this year, for three individual events. She competed in the 50m freestyle, the 50m butterfly and the 100m butterfly in which she finished in fifth, sixth and seventh respectively.

Congratulations to both of these athletes for the dedication that they have to their sport and the intense training programs that they have undertaken which have enabled them to achieve at this high level and to represent the School at such a prestigious event.
