Australian National Surf Life Saving Championships 2024
Trent Yates (Year 9) recently travelled over to the Mooloolaba, on the Queensland's Sunshine Coast to participate in the 2024 Australian National Youth Surf Life Saving Championships from 12 to -16 April.
With a very determined attitude to defend his Gold Medal titles from last year, Trent had his focuses set on Back2Back titles. Not only going Back2Back winning both individual beach events: Flags and Sprints but also going Back2Back winning Aussies 2023 and 2024, in his chosen disciplines:
Gold U14 Youth Beach Sprint
Gold U14 Youth Flag Sprint
Gold U13/14 Youth Beach Relay
Bronze U13/14 Youth Cameron Relay
Trent, truly enjoyed competing with his Trigg Island Surf Life Saving Club team members by winning Gold in the U14 Beach Relay, after dropping the baton in the semi-finals, Trent fought hard to bring the team from 7th to 4th to "just" qualify by 0.03sec, into the Grand Final where they successfully came home with some gold-bling.
Another event that Trent competed in was the Cameron Relay Team. This event is a four-person Relay with a swimmer, runner, board paddler and a final sprinter. The Trigg Island SLSC legendary U14 Boys, took on the tough conditions and BIGGER waves in the Maroochydore surf, to finish 3rd in Australia!
Trent would like to thank his beach coach, Jason Landwehr and his club for all their support, training and dedication in assisting him to obtain Back2Back titles.
