News - 2008/2009

Wet and windy conditions greeted WLAC's 12 qualifying teams and their entourages to Olympic Park on Sunday morning. Fortunately the weather improved as the day went on. As usual at State Champs, there were highs and lows throughout the day, but everyone competed, applauded and supported their team mates in true Waverley spirit. Congratulations to each of the teams, who gave their all, and thank you to the coaches and parents who assisted them in getting to the State Championships.
Two of our teams progressed through to the finals; The U11 Mixed 4 x 100 team of Scout Caulfield, Ellie Sanford, Konrad Debicki and Ned Hawkins finished in 6th place. The U9 - U12 Girls Mixed Age Medley team of Natasha Bannon (U10), Ella Squires (U9), Ellie Sanford (U11) and Ebony Sturgess (U12) brought home our only medal for the day, winning the Gold, while trimming 7 seconds from their time at the regional qualifiers.
Big thankyous are due to our Team Manager, Fiona Squires, in her first year in the role, and to Tammy Stephens who not only "showed the ropes" to Fiona, but coordinated the whole relays effort right from the start of the season. A job very well done!
