A big contingent of Northland swimmers found success at the 2015 Auckland Age Group Champs recently, with 13 swimmers bringing home a total of 40 medals.
Staged over three days in West Auckland, the small Northwave Swimming Club contingent was the most successful of the Northland clubs at the event bringing home 30 of the medals won by Northlanders at the champs.
The most successful swimmers were the Northwave trio of Ellie Eastwood, Hayley McIntosh and Callum Prime.
Eastwood won the most gold medals, with victory in the girls 15 years 200m and 400m individual medley events as well as the 200m breaststroke. Eastwood also won a bronze in the 100m breaststroke.
McIntosh won two gold medals, with victory in the 16 years girls 200m and 400m freestyle events as well as bronze medals in the 100m and 200m backstroke and the 100m freestyle. Her 400m freestyle time also qualified her to attend the 2016 Australian Age Group Champs.
