2024 Queensland SC Championships

There was plenty of excitement at Chandler as Qld Short Course Champs began in earnest last night with the 800m Freestyles. Inspired by watching former TSS swimmer Moesha Johnson’s gutsy Olympic Silver in the 10km marathon swim on the big screen – the quality of the racing was fantastic.

A terrific TSS Aquatics team of:
Julian Angus, Georgia Bos, Oscar Eddy, Cooper Hudson, Cooper Jones, Maya Jones, Christopher Kalogeropoulos, Sean Lee, Mason Mower, Caelan Pace, Samara Ramirez, Tomo Shadforth, Will Sutcliffe

Day 1 started with three swimmers with three great swims on Day, executing bold and consistent race plans with strong skills around the turns.

Cooper Hudson – 7th, 14yrs Boys (12 sec best time)

Maya Jones – Bronze 13yrs Girls 800m Freestyle (11 sec best time)

Tomo Shadforth Gold 16yrs Boys 800m Freestyle (9 sec best time) – this was a particularly special swim for Tomo after a long spell injured last season – grabbing his first Qld Title a great reward for his patience and perseverance. 

Day 2 our Swimmers displayed positive attitudes combined with precise execution of race plans, applied with maximum effort equates to delivering the best performance on the day.

Day 3 saw further quality performances – showing our consistent and diligent approach to preparation and application.

Day Four was another exciting day for Team TSS as we continued to progress.

It has been a weekend of great improvements – in time, in performance, in execution of race plans, in mindset, in skills, in rankings – the swimmers should be pleased with their efforts.

Consistent improvements in execution led to a large number of best times, rankings climbs and top ten finishes.
