Congratulations to Matthew Hutchins & Sam Angelo on being selected for the up upcoming Youth & Development Tri-Series tour in January.
The tour will be held in Masterton, Taupo and Wanganui centres.
This is a great opportunity for our swimmers to push the boundaries and soak up the competitive atmosphere. The top 60 swimmers selected from the camps who qualified
at the 2009 NZ Spring Competition will travel between Palmerston North and the 3 venues as one team. They will compete as 3 separate teams in 6 mini competitions over a
period of 7 days. The competition will be short course.
The Wharenui Club would like to congratulate the above swimmers for their fantastic achievements.
