2010 HFMF State Junior Short Course Championships
Ten-year old Taj Jones wrapped up the 2010 HFMF State Junior Short Course Championships this weekend as West Coast’s leading medal winner, bagging five individual gold medals, three silvers and two bronzes and adding four relay medals to his swag. The rising star also claimed runner-up “swimmer of the meet” after competing in ten individual events and setting six new PBs.
The team of 33 West Coast junior swimmers (aged 12 years and under) placed 3rd overall on the team point score (538.5 points), behind the new powerhouse Western Sprint Club (which is the recently merged Riverton Blue Marlins and Western Sprint Clubs) on 718 points and Breakers on 613 points.
Our newest state champions included breaststrokers Max Contessi, Zach Farrell and Cooper Lindsay. Our team won a total of 47 medals (12 gold, 18 silver and 17 bronze) with multiple medal winners including Shelby Carstens, Tom Cumming, Jared Hill, Kane Hughes, William Lantzke, Hadley Lindsay, Salwa Sadek, Beatrice Tay, and Braga Verhage.
It was especially pleasing to record a PB percentage of 60%.
Congratulations to all West Coast juniors for their efforts at the State Junior Short Course Championships. The Long Course season is just two weeks away and we look forward to even better results this summer.
The summary of results is attached.

The small rise in overall fees is due to the Swimming WA and Swimming Australia affiliation fees increasing. Fees can be paid via Direct Deposit (with member name as ref and form handed in), cheque, cash or online at www.wa.swimming.com.au. If you would like to pay via direct deposit please contact the Registrar to obtain Bank Account details.
