Diocesan Swimming Carnival
Last Friday, Finlay Stevenson and Jackson Grissell represented the Richmond Zone at the Diocesean Swimming Carnival in Murwillumbah. Finlay and Jackson had great success in the pool. Both boys are off to Sydney to represent the Lismore Diocese in freestyle and breaststroke. Finlay qualified second in the 12 year old 50m Breaststroke with a time of 44.08sec. I believe this is a new PB (personal best) and Jackson qualified 1st in the 50m 13year old 50m Freestyle with a time of 39.49.
