Trinity Grammar Invitation Swimming Carnival

27 Wyvern boys attended the Trinity Invitational

Swimming Carnival in what would be the final opportunity to swim competitively in 2017. It would

also be the last chance to cheer on some

outstanding Year 6 swimmers before they leave to

the senior school. Daniel Johnson, Sebastian

Parhash, Jayden Stanton-Keir, Matthew Torrible,

Lucas Pollard and Oscar Martins have all been

wonderful contributors to Wyvern’s swimming teams

over the years, and we were excited to see them

swim their hearts out once more.

The carnival included schools from Kings, Scots,

Sydney Grammar, Trinity and St Pius, with boys

competing in A/B/C/D divisions. Wyvern

representatives in the individual medley events took

to the blocks to get the program underway. Orlando

Mina 5th swam well in the junior event, followed by

Sebastian Parhash 3rd and Lucas Pollard 7th in the

senior race.

Newington’s youngest competitors were at the

carnival, with many representatives from the 8 years

age group competing at an inter-school carnival for

the first time. Matthew Alvarez 2nd, Remi Jacobe 5th,

Lionel Falk-Brown 3rd and Aleksander Barlin 4th all

competed strongly in the freestyle event. Rhys

Howard Jones 5th and Barlin 3rd backed it up in the

breaststroke. Alvarez 2nd and Barlin 3rd were back in

the water for the backstroke, before Falk-Brown 3rd

and Barlin 3rd finished off the individual events in

butterfly. Alvarez, Falk-Brown, Jacobe and Barlin

then came together for the freestyle relay and

finished a close 3rd to receive a sought after green

ribbon.

The U/9’s freestylers also started nicely with Finn

Cathcart 5th, James Hoskins 3rd, Sam Rudd 4th and

Charlie Appleyard 6th. Cathcart 7th and Appleyard 6th

fought hard in the breastroke, before Mitchell Smit

6th and Hoskins 3rd did the same in the backstroke.

Rudd 3rd and Peter Farah 4th swam great races in

the butterfly event to inspire the relay of Hoskins,

Cathcart, Appleyard and Rudd. The relay team

finished 4th to just miss a placing.

Wyvern’s U/10 division were competitive all day, the

standard set early with the freestyle event. Here

Sam Chittendon 3rd, Liam West 3rd, Orlando Mina 4th

and Joel Zipeure 4th showed they meant business

with great efforts. West 6th and Mina 4th tried

valiantly in the breaststroke, before Mina 5th and

Zipeure 5th just missed placing’s in the backstroke.

Mina 3rd and Zipeure 5th continued their extensive

programme in the junior 100m free. West returned

in the A butterfly swimming a courageous 3rd, before

returning in the freestyle relay along with Mina,

Chittendon and Zipeure to come in 2nd. The same

relay team also finished a super 3rd in the medley

relay with an inspiring effort.

Charlie Roberts 4th and Oscar Neale 8th began the U/11 freestyle followed by Toby Torrible 5th, Daniel

Johnson 4th and Lewis Saupin 2nd. Johnson 4th,

Callan Rixom 6th and Saupin 3rd continued the

programme with swims in the breastroke event.

Sebastian Pidcock 7th and Saupin 3rd did well in the

backstroke, before Rixom 5th, Torrible 3rd and

Saupin 3rd swam big races in the butterfly event.

Saupin stamped his potential with a tremendous 3rd

in the senior 100m freestyle A division, before

helping the relay team including Roberts, Johnson

and Torrible to come home in 4th place.

Matthew Torrible 2nd, Jaydan Stanton-Keir 2nd,

Sebastian Parhash 2nd and Lucas Pollard 4th started

the carnival in great form, spurred on by the fact

that this would be their last carnival under the

Wyvern banner. Parhash 4th and Oscar Martins 5th

tried hard in the breastroke, with Pollard 2nd and

Parhash 3rd continued the group’s success in the

backstroke. Parhash showed no signs of stopping in the senior 100m freestyle B division with another 3rd

placing. Perhaps the best individual performances

of the day from Wyvern came in the butterfly event,

with Parhash 1st and Stanton-Keir 2nd in the B event

followed by Pollard 2nd in the A’s. Parhash, Martins,

Pollard and Saupin came together in the senior

medley for an outstanding 2nd, before the day was

finished off with Torrible, Parhash, Stanton-Keir and

Pollard racing hard to come in 3rd in the 12 year

freestlye relay.

The Wyvern team were very supportive of one

another and thankful for the opportunity to compete

during Term 4. We look forward to unearthing our

2018 swim team in a few months, as well as

wishing our Y6 boys departing the very best of luck

at the senior swimming carnivals.
