The UQ Masters Swimming Club won the Life Members’ Trophy at MSA Nationals last week!
This is an award given to clubs with 5–20 registered members, and it goes to the club that achieves the highest number of points at the Championships, divided by the club’s membership number at the end of the previous year.
Day 5 is live! The hard core for the last event, the 800 Free.
Well done Andree and Kalvin Ernst and Mark Hickman, to endure to the end!
Big day 4 of Masters Nationals!
Andree Ernst: 400 Breast, 100 IM, 50 Back
Kalvin Ernst: 50 Back
Glenn Lo: 100 IM, 25 Breast, 50 Back
Mark Hickman: 200 Free, 50 Back
John Tinkler: 200 Free
Big controversy with Andree being DQed in the 400 Breast while moving goggles back onto her eyes just after the start. Couldn’t they just stop her then before she swam all 400 meters? 😉
Day 3 of Masters Nationals saw swims from Andree and Kalvin Ernst, Glenn Lo, Tony O’Donoghue, and John Tinkler.
Once again, Andree leads the day with 3 more pieces of hardware! How do you do that? 👍💪
Day 2 of MSA Nationals in the books!
Outstanding swimming from Andree and Kalvin Ernst, Glenn Lo, Mark Hickman, and John Tinkler!
Another 3 more medals for Andree! A legend!
