We had 3 amazing Sharks:- Jarrod, Jake and Jessica, compete at the 2017 NSW 13 Years & Over State SC Championships, held in Sydney on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 25-27 August 2017.
To put these Championships into perspective, there were 1085 competitors from 117 swimming clubs across New South Wales. Our Sharks should be extremely proud of their efforts as our Men’s Team Score (made up of Jarrod and Jake) ranked 31st (2nd behind QT Swimming), and Women’s Team Score (only Jessica) ranked 47th. Amazing Results considering our Woden team was made up of only 3 Sharks.
