Marsden Swimming champ
Alyssa has had a brilliant time in pool recently. At the Swimming Wellington 12&Under Junior Championship she was 1st in her age group, winning 4 gold medals, 2 silvers and 2 bronzes. She followed this up at the NZ Junior Festival All Stars meet with 1st in the Girls 10&U 100m Butterfly and 3rd in the Girls 10&U 50m Butterfly. Way to go Alyssa!
