Swimming Success
Ryan Cooper had a successful trip to the National Age Group Championships in Wellington at the beginning of this month. He broke the Taranaki record and became the National Champion in the 14yrs boy 200m Backstroke, for which he was given a Gold medal. He also gained Silver in the 1500m Freestyle, Bronze in the 100m Backstroke, 5th in the 100m Fly, 7th in the 400m Freestyle and was 9th in the 50 Backstroke. These results mean that Ryan is currently ranked 6th overall in the country for 14year old boys.
