🇦🇺 International Success for SOPAC! 🇦🇺

The SOPAC Community is incredibly proud to celebrate Heidi Shumack's bronze medal performance in the 100m Backstroke at the 2026 Junior Pan Pacific Championships in Vancouver, Canada.

To earn selection on the Australian Team is a remarkable achievement. To then step onto the podium at an international championship is a testament to Heidi's hard work, commitment and determination.

We are also thrilled to see Kira Long representing Australia throughout the championships and proudly wearing the green and gold on the international stage.

These achievements are a reflection not only of the athletes' dedication, but also the support of their coaches, teammates and families who have been part of the journey.

Competition continues through to Friday.
