Team Caulfield had 19 teams qualify and compete in the State Relay Championships on Saturday December 15^th.  We had some fantastic results, lots of fun and tough competition on a blustery Melbourne day which had rain, sunshine, storms and everything in between.

Of the 19 teams competing an amazing 14 of these made it through to the finals.  It is a great achievement to make it to the state championships so a big congratulations to all our athletes.  Our medal tally at the end of the day was three gold medals and four silver medals.  Quite a few of the teams were just outside the medals with four 4^th placings and two 5^th placings.

Gold Medals

• Under 10G 4 X 100
• Under 12G 4 X 200
• Under 14B 4 X 100

Silver Medals

• Under 10G Medley
• Under 11M 4 X 100
