On the weekend of the February 10-11, Millie Lyne and her coaches, Kim and Mick McConnachie, travelled to Brisbane to compete in the QLD State Sprint (50m events) Championships held at Chandler Swimming Pool. Millie represented the Burdekin Torpedoes in five events and one final, which included the open 50m Breaststroke where she secured her qualifying time for the National Age Swimming Championships held on the Gold Coast in April with a time of 36.24s, smashing her personal best time by 1.08s. A great achievement for all the hard work she and her coaches have put in over the past year.
She then backed it up in the 13yo girls 50m Breaststroke and qualified for the final where she placed 9th in the State for her age. Millie is hoping to secure more times for the National Age Championships in the next month at upcoming Swimming meets in North QLD.
