Fraser has also become the first 11yr old swimmer from the club to make all four individual finals at this event.
Country Victoria’s best swimmers competed in the 2022 Victorian State Country Long Course Championships held in Mildura from January 22 - 24.
Among them were 5 competitors representing the Yarrawonga/Mulwala Swimming Club.
Swimmers – Lara Angwin, Emily Buerckner, Annabel Hart, Fraser Nagle and Isobel Nagle competed in 11 individual events placing inside the top 8 four times. Two female relay teams.
At the conclusion of the weekend the Yarrawonga/Mulwala Swimming Club found itself ranked 21st in Country Victoria out of 37 competing swimming clubs.
Head Coach, Lyndon Hart said, “The results achieved were fantastic and a credit to the swimmers’ efforts they displayed during a rather interrupted season.
“Imagine what these swimmers and the other 90 swimmers in the club could achieve if the Moira Shire had a vision and a plan to build an indoor pool in Yarrawonga.”
On behalf of the Yarrawonga Mulwala Swimming Club, Lyndon thanked Coach Kevin White for all his time and effort coaching the swimmers in the lead up and throughout the competition.
Lyndon also thanked the Team Manager – Paula Nagle and the parents who attended and the Swimming Club for their support.
The Swimming Club’s focus now shifts to the Ovens & Murray Championships to be held on February 6 and 13 in Wangaratta and the All-Juniors Selections in late February.
