Umina High comes sixth in swimming

At this year's zone swimming carnival, Umina High School improved to come sixth after four years of coming overall seventh.

Carnival organiser Ms Ashman said the performance was a good achievement and could be attributed to having competitors in every event.

"The students' performance and team spirit were brilliant, with cheering and congratulations ringing out to each other," she said.

Ms Ashman said many students put in exceptional performances including Elyse Stone, Jenna Harrod, Keira Pride, Natalie Engelshus, Yolanda Veltmeyer, Sarah Costelloe, David Hyde, Jonathon Mark, Tadd Walford, Ryan McNeill, Sean Cole, Arlion Kissick, Amanda Mair and Nicole Dividson.

She also gave special thanks to assisting teachers Mrs Thomson, Mrs Honeysett, Mrs Andrew, Ms Caldwell and Mr Gasper.
