Kowhai Swimming Club’s Sienna Morrison has qualified for the fastest open swim meet in New Zealand.
Coach Jill Fayerman says it is quite a feat for a swimmer who is just 14 years old.

Morrison, who is a Mahurangi College student, competed at the recent Auckland Age Group Championships, winning not just her age group final in the 50-metre breaststroke event, but also qualifying for the prestigious Open NZ long course national championship, which will be held in Hawkes Bay, starting on April 9.

Fayerman says the club clocked up some excellent results in other Auckland Championship events, with Troy Hewertson also winning his age group final in the 50-metre backstroke.

“Fellow swimmers Fergus Charlton, Mia Morrison and Ryan Hewertson contested several finals, gaining personal best times and qualified for the upcoming age group nationals.”
