Senior State Age 2020 - the Mighty Blues Multi-Class wrap

Once again it was terrific to see the Multi-Class athletes competing at the 2020 NSW Senior State Age Championships for only the second time…a great opportunity for those swimmers who will be looking to compete in the Australian Age MC Championships in April and also the Australian Paralympic Trials scheduled for June 2021.

Presently the format is timed finals in both the 11-14yrs and 15yrs & Over Age groups with plenty of fast swimming on show!

There were some stand out performances by our Australian Paralympic & World Championship team members, but they were put to the test by some very good younger swimmers…some competing in their first State Meet! It is great to see the depth in Multi-Class swimming still developing, and it's a source of great pride that NSW leads other states in this area!

Standout performances

Incredible effort from these standout performers at Senior State Age:

11-14 Years Age Group

15 Years & Over Age Group

More Gold medal swims

• Jesse Aungles (National Training Centre Hub)
• Ellie Cole (Knox Pymble)

• Krystal Jessen (Abbotsleigh)

Congratulations to all our State medalists and to their respective coaches – a big well done! Please see the full list of medalists below for more information.

I am really looking forward to the progress of our young developing NSW MC swimmers – if their performances at Senior State Age are any indication, watch out for them at the Paralympic Trials!

I am so pleased we could finish off 2020 on a high note after what has been a very challenging year. Senior State Age was a much-needed opportunity to come together as a swimming community to applaud some fantastic performances by our talented NSW athletes!

Happy holidays all and a safe and prosperous New Year…see you on pool deck soon! And GO the Mighty Blues!

Cheers
