Congratulations to the Knox Swimming Team which has won the CAS Thyne Shield for a fourth year in a row at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.
Our Diving Team also finished third overall. Thank you to our wonderful supporters who cheered on our teams from the poolside and online.
The CAS Swimming and Diving Championships were held with reduced crowds to minimise the transmission of COVID-19.
The restriction on crowds did not deter the quality of performances, the Knox swimmers were superb from first race, to last race.
Congratulations to Joshua Collett (Y11), who won all six of his events, with five new records. Josh set individual records in the 16 years 50 and 100 freestyle (23.66 sec and 52.41 sec) and the 16 years 50 breaststroke (29.56 sec).
Josh was a member of the 16 years medley and freestyle record breaking relay teams, which included Owen Fung (Y9), Justin Lee (Y9) and Will McDonagh (Y10) for the medley team and Justin Lee, Charlie Anderson (Y10) and Will McDonagh for the freestyle team.
Also breaking a record was Dylan Zhang, who swam 29.99 sec in the 17 years 50 breaststroke.
A special mention must go to the following swimmers who won six races, Justin Lee (Y10), Tane Bidois (Y10) and Kai Lilienthal (Y9).
The Knox Team won 45 of the 73 events and scored a total of 560 points, to win the overall points tally and retain the Thyne Shield.
