Warkworth’s Sienna Morrison is now ranked second in the country in 50m breaststroke for her age, following stellar results at the recent NZ junior swimming nationals.
The Kowhai Swimming Club member came first in the 12-year-old girl 50m breaststroke with a time of 37.20, 4th in the 100m breaststroke and 5th in the 200m breaststroke at the Sir Owen G Glenn National Aquatic Centre in Rosedale last month.
Those results gave Morrison national rankings in all three events of second, seventh and 13th respectively.
It also means she qualifies for the NZ National Champs in April, May and August next year, which will be held in Wellington and Hawkes Bay.
The NZ Junior Festival takes place across four regions and is open to swimmers aged 12 and under. Kowhai had two junior girls competing in the 12-year-old sections – as well as Morrison, Tilly Julian achieved five personal bests in five swims.
Swimming club secretary Carol Christy says Kowhai is now seeking sponsorship for Morrison and other members who have qualified for the national championships.
“If anyone could help in any small way, we would love to hear from them,” she says.
