Finals Day 6
What a night!!!
The point score had us firmly in second place going into the final night of racing of the NSW 13-18 State Age Championships 2012 and we still had 11 finals to be contested and 4 relays.
The night started out with a double medal win in the boys 17-18 years 200m butterfly. Hugo Morris went in as hot favorite and didn't fail to disappoint with a blistering finish to finish just outside his PB but still with an 8 second lead on second place to get our first gold of the night. William Pulley who had done a huge PB in the heats that morning, convincingly held on to the bronze placing.
Next up was the girls 14 years 200m Free with Shannon Maloney swimming another great PB to win Silver.
Isabella Marinelli (or was that Marilleni) swam with team mate Tizana Fiorese in the grueling 13 years 400IM, with six Canberra Swimmers in the final, Isabella managed to claim a bronze medal.
Sean Maloney was the last individual final of the night in the boys 16 years 1500m freestyle, going in ranked 35 seconds faster than his closest rival, Sean dominated the race to take another 7 seconds off his time to win the second gold of the night.
The last part of the program was the relays, while the girls 13-18 years 4x 100 medley relay team of Sarah Friend, Tizana Fiorese, Bethany Colquhuon and Shannon Maloney managed points by coming 6th, the boys team of Ryan Hore, Lachlan Colquhuon, Hugo Morris and Sean Maloney managed third place for a bronze.
The points program was now completed and the cups for the 10x 50m relay were to decided. The girls team came 9th in a field of 18 teams, the boys team swam a brilliant race with. A number of competitors came to Sydney purely for this event. The team of Zane Jordan, Dylan Appelqvist, Niall Jacobson, Ben Martin, Ciaran Plenty, William Pulley, Ryan Hore, Lachlan Colquhuon, Sean Maloney and Hugo Morris did a superb job to win the GA Miller Cup.
The night was not over. Awards were yet to be announced.

On the 12th and 13th of November, we held our annual qualifying meet at the AIS. With 61 Woden athletes
competing in a field of highly competitive swimmers from all over NSW, success by individuals and the club was well deserved.
The meet saw many of our swimmers reach personal goals, from PB’s to first time qualifiers for Country, State and National Qualifying times. Well done!
Of course, none of this wouldn’t have been possible without the army of volunteers who all contributed to make this happen.
We would like to thank everyone who helped, not only over the weekend but in the lead up to the meet. The officials from all the ACT District clubs, the parents and committee from Woden and the swimmers who helped out over the weekend.
Special thanks to Rennie and Jane who coordinated the catering, and all the parents who contributed yummy baked goods. To Sharyn, who made trays and trays of sandwiches and to the army of volunteers who delivered food to all the coaches and officials.
Also to Michele, Rachel, Tania and Kerrie who all helped to put together the raffles and other fundraising items.
