On Tuesday 10 March, eighteen CMCB students travelled to Swan Hill to compete at the Loddon Mallee Regional Swimming Championships. All students performed extremely well, with every competitor taking home at least one medal across the day. As a team, CMCB finished 3rd in the overall school division.

A special mention goes to Zarah Reynolds, who was crowned Swimmer of the Meet, receiving the prestigious Arthur Swan Memorial Award for the second year in a row. Zarah won all five of her individual events and set new division records in three of them. She was also part of the winning Medley and Freestyle relay teams.

Mila Abley also had an impressive day and was in strong contention for the award, winning all five of her individual events alongside her Medley and Freestyle relay teams. Mila also broke the record in the 15 Year Female 50m Breaststroke.

Miller Nihill finished the event with four individual wins and helped lead the Open Boys relay team to victory. He also broke the record in the 50m Butterfly.

These are incredible results that the whole school community can be extremely proud of. Congratulations to all students who represented the College. Fourteen students will now represent the College at the State Final in Melbourne on Thursday 23 April.
