Day 1: Gold Rush on the Gold Coast for the Mighty Blues MC Swimmers:
The first night of finals at the 2024 Australian MC Age Championships started with a bang for our NSW swimmers. The finals are swum in three age brackets: 12-13 years; 14-15 years and 16-18 years.
Leading the gold rush were two of our youngest swimmers Noah Erne (13yrs) (Lower Blue Mountains SC) and Mia Hogan (Albury) winning 8 Golds between them…Noah won 5 golds and Mia 3 Golds & 2 Silvers. The ever-reliable Declan Budd (Knox Pymble) showed why he was selected onto his first Australian Team (2024 European Open Championships) winning 3 Golds and a Silver. Beau Matthews (Southern Sydney) swam brilliantly to win 2 Golds & 1 Silver.
Other Gold medal winning performances: Stephanie Bruzzese (PLC Sydney) 1 Gold, 1 Bronze; Alyssa Gillespie (Narrabeen) 1 Gold; Gemma Sellick (Warringah) 1 Gold & 2 Bronze; Yasmine Bella-Younes (Bankstown Sports) 1 Gold.
Congratulations to all our medal winners and finalists on night 1 that produced a haul of 17 Gold; 14 Silver & 20 Bronze for a total of 51 Medals!
