Dunn
Pentathlon
2
December
2001
In what was very rushed swimming conditions, the Vikings swimmers had great success at the Matt Dunn Pentathlon. The events resembled training "walk-backs" but the swimmers showed what great fitness they had and produced some great results. Brendan Taylor managed to produced five out of five huge PBs in an impressive improvement. Nick Duncan and Haydn Marsh won flash AIS jumpers for their overall winning performances, with Adam Bingham runner up and Monique Van Balen and Meagan Ramsay both placing third in their age groups. Great swimming Vikings!
