Ocean Grove SLSC<\/a> competition manager Bruce Honey said he was delighted with the club\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\u201cWe had some impressive results, particularly in the team events. It shows it\u2019s not just one or two strong people, but a team of really good athletes working together to do what they do.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese competitors have trained pretty much the whole way through winter while everyone else is rugged up indoors.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Mr Honey also credited those who helped run the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the Sunday we had about 70 competitors but even more people volunteering to help organise everything to do set-ups and pack-ups and barbecues and official duties.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a massive effort put on by the club and all its members.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ocean Grove\u2019s own Jesse Coulson was one of those to excel, winning both the Open Men\u2019s Surf Race and Ironman events. Ocean Grove also won the Open Men\u2019s Board and Taplin relays.<\/p>\n
Warrnambool dominated the Open Female category. Sophie Thomas led the way for them by winning the Surf Race and Ironwomen events. Warrnambool also won the Board and Taplin relays.<\/p>\n
Torquay\u2019s Archie Vernon was another of the standout performers. In the Under 19 Men category he won the Surf Race, the Board Race and the Ironman event.<\/p>\n
In the Under 17 Women\u2019s category Lexie McNaughton continued the host\u2019s success. She won both the Ski Race and the Surf Race.<\/p>\n
Stephanie Reade, also from Ocean Grove, excelled in the Under 15 category, winning both the Surf Race and Ironwoman event.<\/p>\n
Mr Honey noted that while the competition was great, the most important part of the racing was to refine the competitors life saving skills so they can create safer beaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
