Ewing rewrites scorebook

Rosa Ewing continued to rewrite the history books, breaking six intermediate girl’s records at the Rodney College Swimming Sports Day last month.

Ewing was the standout performer at the event last year, breaking six junior girls records. She made sure she matched that statistic this time around.

She set new times in the 25m butterfly, 75m medley, 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle, 25m backstroke and 50m backstroke.

Ewing also continued her form into the Northland Secondary Schools competition, where she picked up first place in the 100m backstroke, two seconds and a third place.

She is now looking to gain a place in the Secondary School National Age Group Champs.

Also putting his name in the record books was Rodney’s Ethan Whyte, who set a record time of 16.66 seconds in the senior boy’s 25m backstroke.

He went on to set a new record at the Lower North event in the 25m breaststroke.

Overall winners at the Rodney College Swimming Sports Day were as follows: junior boy, Benjamin McCardle; junior girl, Lucy Rambaud; intermediate boy, Jesse Manuell; intermediate girl, Rosa Ewing; senior boy, Ethan Whyte; senior girl, Georgia Brierly.
