Swimming | NSW Speedo Sprint Series

Saturday, 6 February 2021 at SOPAC

The 2021 NSW Speedo Sprint Series served as the first meet of the year for our Trinity swimmers to race on the competitive stage. It was an opportunity to race for a top four place which would qualify them for the Speedo Sprint State Finals, which are to be held on 6 March.

The meet was held at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre where Trinity were represented by nine swimmers, who all competed with great spirit whilst supporting their fellow Trinitarians. Of the nine Trinity Grammar students who competed at the Speedo Sprint Heats, six have qualified for the finals and were rewarded with a total of 13 medals (6 Gold, 5 Silver and 2 Bronze).

While all Trinity Grammar students swam superbly, there was one particular swim that requires special recognition. Congratulations to Sterling Tuxford (7WH) who has broken the Trinity Grammar School Record in the 50m Butterfly in his time of 30.47, knocking almost half a second off the previous record from 2015.

We wish all our Trinity Grammar School qualifiers the best of luck at the Speedo Sprint Series Finals on 6 March at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.

Yours in Swimming,
