Staff ReporterHills Avon Valley Gazette

Brianna (17) won the 100m freestyle in 57.86 seconds and the 50m butterfly in 28.07 seconds at the Independent Girls Schools Sport Association’s (IGSSA) recent carnival.

The two record-breaking victories follow a successful 2012 when she earned two silver medals at the World Short Course Swimming Championships as a member of the 4 x 100m freestyle and medley relay teams.

She has also competed at the Junior World Swimming Championships and Junior Pan Pacific Swimming Competition. Brianna said juggling eight training sessions a week with the demands of Year 12 studies could be difficult, but she was focused on continuing her swimming career.
