ISA SWIMMING CARNIVAL
COLUMN
The ISA Swimming Carnival was held on Wednesday, 9th March at SOPAC, Homebush. It was one of the biggest girls’ squad we have taken to the event in some years, and all girls should be commended on their efforts and participation on the day and throughout the month attending the early morning squad training.
ISA GIRLS BASKETBALL Saturday, 5th March was when the ISA Finals were held for basketball at Penrith Sports Centre. The Intermediate girls were the only team from the girls to qualify after being undefeated all season. However, as we have learnt in the past, anything is possible at finals level, and the girls knew they had to be at their best to take out the title.
Some of the highlights of the day included our 12 year old swimmer Eleni Haralambides from Year 7 who placed first in all of her races. Eleni has now qualified for the CIS Carnival for freestyle and breaststroke as part of the ISA Squad. Congratulations Eleni! Along with Eleni, our junior girls had some great results in the pool, finishing second overall behind Redlands who had dropped from Division 1 last year. This is a fantastic achievement and we congratulate all the girls involved.
The Intermediates played Oxley in what was a very close game for its entirety. The girls from Bowral did not go down without a fight as it came down right to the wire. Jennifer Contominas stayed composed as she was able to draw fouls and add the extras at the free throw line. Yovana Stosic was solid in defence, frustrating the opposition. Carissa Frazis had impact when she joined the game, coming off the bench and dodging traffic on the court. Overall it was a great team performance and summed up the Intermediate’s season as they defeated Oxley 15-11. A big thank you must go to their coach Mr Contominas for his patience and dedication to the team.
