Student Achievement
Swimming Championships in Darwin
12 October
Damascus College students have been very busy over the school holidays. Luke Gallagher Year 8 and Liam Orton Year 9 competed at the National Country swimming championships in Darwin over four days. The outdoor meet was challenged by high temperatures and humidity and monsoonal rains, but the atmosphere from the swimmers from all across the country was fantastic to see.
Both Luke and Liam achieved some amazing results and we congratulate them on their success.
Luke competed in eight events and qualified for seven finals. He achieved bronze medals in the 200 breaststroke and 100 butterfly, and a silver in the 50 butterfly. Liam raced two personal bets in the 50 Freestyle and 100 Freestyle.
Not only did they both demonstrate their athletic abilities, they also showed wonderful sportsmanship and encouragement for all of the other swimmers involved. Well done to Luke and Liam, we are very proud of your success.
