Lachlan is nipper ironman

Under-9s nipper Lachlan Braddish from Umina Beach Surf Life Saving Club has placed first at the 2010 Ironperson event held at Blacksmiths Beach on Saturday, November 13.

Lachlan has also won a NSW State Medal last season and hopes to build on that result at Kingscliff Beach for the 2010-2011 State Titles next March.

The Ironperson event commenced with tough surf conditions resulting in a number of competitors being unable to complete the course.

Recorded results of competitors from Umina Beach included Lealani Healey second in the under-9 girls and Kirsten Miller third in the under-9 girls.

In the under-12 boys, Kieran Braddish came in 10th.

Rachel Wood was eighth in the under-12 girls and Jemma Smith was 10th in the same division.

Josh Thorndyke placed 12th in the under-14 boys and Indigo Verhoeven placed eighth in the under-14 girls and Lara Reineker 12th.

Teigan Miller placed fourth in the under-15 girls and Helen Krucler placed eighth.
