Senior Carnival 2 Wrap-Up

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senior Carnival 2 was held at Middleton beach and was SLSSAs first attempt at a ‘mobile carnival’ with support provided by both Pt Elliott and Goolwa SLSCs.

Our crew started the journey down the coast at 6am so for all it was a very long day.

We had 13 people nominate to do events and 10 compete on the day. Conditions were very tough with competitors from all clubs facing difficulties in water events.

Thanks as always must go to our officials – Raelene Donnell, Bob Brooks and Lauren Brooks. Thanks also to Neil Bisset for storing our trailer overnight and towing it down to Middleton and to Leanne Larven and Mardi Lienert for overseeing the U15s and girls events.

Please see below for a round-up of our results and the provisional point score which saw us finish 10th for the day.

* Danny’s ski may have come in before he did but he never let go of his paddle!

**Out of all the U17 females that attempted the ski (approx 9) only one crossed the finish line so well done Bryana on having a go!

*** Nick competed in the swim team in order to fill an open male team and unfortunately hurt his back when his foot dropped in a pot hole. This then put him out for the rest of the day. The Team Manager is still feeling guilty about this!

Provisional Point Score – Middleton

 With one more carnival before our States campaign begins (save the date – January 11th 2015) we really want to see as many competitors on the beach as possible so that we can not only improve our points tally but have a strong team prepared for the 3 days of State Championships.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Senior Carnival 2 – Middleton – Sunday 7th December

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Senior Carnival 2 is planned to be a ‘mobile’ event on the South Coast on Sunday December 7th.

This means that although the plan is for the event to be at Middleton SLSSA will be checking conditions leading into the week-end and will move if conditions warrant. All people will be notified as early as possible and hopefully by Thursday 4th December at the latest.

See attached circular for full information – C14082 Senior Carnival 2 information

Events for male and female U15 (including U14s with SRC wishing to compete), U17, U19, and Open to include: –

Individual – 2k run, sprints, flags, swim, iron, ski, board,

Team – taplin, beach relay, ski relay, swim teams

The carnival point score system will again be implemented.  We accrued enough points to see us finish 8th after carnival 1 so it would be great to add a larger number of points to our current tally and climb the ladder even further.

If you are keen to compete can you please email Kerry Schulz at kschulz1000@gmail.com by Tuesday 2nd December 5pm.

Please let Kerry know all of the events (individual and team) that you wish to compete in. Exact teams will be dependent on numbers and will be decided on the day.
