Swag of medals at MSA National Championships 2025
The MSA National Championships were recently held in Melbourne. Our Warringah team, consisting of Jay Burston, Jorian Catzel, Jayden Van Den Bosch , Stephen Towner, Stephen Hawkins, Mikey Paterson, Rowan Jacob, Gordon Whyte, Tim Ford, Milton O'Dell, Tony Wozniak and myself, indulged in the culinary, artistic and caffeinated delights that Melbourne is renowned for.
A swag of medals were won with strong performances in individual and team events.
Massive PB's were set by Mikey, who carved 4 seconds off his 50 free time, then followed with a casual 21 second obliteration of his 200IM best. Outstanding stuff Mikey!
Gordon Whyte has been selected as our teams swimmer of the meet with the four gold medals he achieved.
