Congratulations to
CARIS DEMPSTER
2nd Woman to Rottnest solo in 5 hours 10 minutes Caris is a tough competitor who gives her all to everything and in this her first solo Rottnest swim she came out swinging and finished with an incredible result. Watch out to our best Open Water Women in Western Australia and Australia as Caris gets serious in the next twelve months.
JENNIFER BLAXILL
6th 14 year old girl in Australia over 5km. Jen competed in her first Open Water Nationals. She raced hard and did well in very hot and hard conditions. Again watch out the Open Water swimmers in Australia as Jen gains experience and confidence over the 5km. She is set to become extremely competitive over this distance and perhaps even the 10km.
JACK OSBORNE
7th 13 year old boy in Australia over 5km. Jack has had such a brilliant year and apart from 6 events at age nationals to come in April he has been to Victorian States and KL all for the first time. Jack is such a hard worker in training that he is pretty much able to do well in most things he swims from 100m free and back to 5km. Not sure if Jack is keen to ever swim 5km but who knows whats ahead.
Well done Caris Jen and Jack on a very successful end to your first major Open Water Season.
DON’T COUNT THE DAYS….MAKE THE DAYS COUNT
States and Nationals…here we come.
