Athletics and Swimming Super Series Results

Friday March 5 2010

As both the Super Series for Athletics and Swimming come to a close for season 2009/10 our athletes are still putting in

some very strong performances.

Our Swimmers finished off their Super Series with Summer Sensation at Challenge Stadium and while the number of PBs

produced were a little down compared to what we usually see from our swimmers, we still had Alexa De Klerk PB in her

100m Breaststroke while Luke Smith set 2 new best times in the 100 Freestyle and 200 IM.

Across the road at the WA Athletics Stadium and it was a big night for our track and field stars. Andrew Bannister set a

new Personal Best in his 200m, an event he has already qualified for Nationals in. Connor Johnstone was less than half a

second away from his previous best in the 200m but tackled the 800m for the very first time and finished very strongly.

Hopefully its not the last time we see Connor Tackle the 800m. We also saw Acacia Gibbs on the track and tackle the 60m

dash. Well done Acacia, hope to see you on the track a little more often.

Peter Smith was his usual self, smashing all that stood before him Pete has pushed his chair exceptionally well in the last 9

months as we have seen his times reduce drastically. Pete is getting set for Nationals and we are all very excited to see

how he can perform on the big stage. Madison continues her long road back from her operation 12 months ago with a

time in her 200m just 0.3 seconds outside her pre-operation best.

In the throws it seems like Luther Frost-Barnes’s streak of consecutive National Records has finally come to an end, just

falling short of his previous best and National Age Record. Peter Smith threw very well and Jake Kavanagh won the

Kavanagh/Cavanagh battle as Josh keeps getting closer and closer every week.
