BAYSIDER SWIMS HIS WAY TO US
COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP
YEARS of hard training have
paid off for Bayside swimming talent Jared
Goldthorpe, who has been awarded a
scholarship to West Virginia University in the
United States.
The nineteen-year-old from
Malabar has gone from strength to strength during
past ten years he has been training at the Des
Renford Aquatic Centre with coach Jon Shaw. The
coach-athlete partnership has been rewarded with
countless State Championship titles, as well as
national age and open medals.
Jared, who is currently ranked
5th in Australia in the men’s 200m
backstroke, represented his country at last year’s
Commonwealth Youth Games in India and at the Junior
Pan Pacific Championships in January in Guam, where
he was spied by the US college recruiters.
He is now looking forward to
the challenge of moving overseas to combine his
tertiary studies with the experience of competing in
the US college system.
“I’m excited to be heading
over to the States, and meeting my new teammates at
West Virginia,’’ Jared said.
“It’ll be interesting to
compare the experience of training with the American
coaches and competing against a whole new set of
swimmers.’’
But Jared won’t be forgotten
back home. He will be returning to compete for
Bayside at the Australian Open Championships next
March, where he will be vying for a spot on the
Australian Pan Pacific Games team.
In the meantime, his team in
West Virginia is looking forward to Jared’s arrival
next month.
“I am very excited about
working with Jared and helping him reach all his
goals,’’ West Virginia University Head Swim coach
Vic Riggs said.
Jared will compete, alongside
Bayside teammates Rick Pendleton, Milly McGuinness,
Jessica Best, Sarah Hoyles and Ashley Stone at the
Telstra Australian Short Course Championships in
Hobart next week, before he flies to the United
States to commence studies in their Fall semester.
IT’S been another brilliant week for
Baysiders down in Hobart at the Australian Open
Short Course Championships
Six of our swimmers competed with distinction. Among
the highlights:
Rick Pendleton won three bronze
medals, one each in the Men’s Multi-Disability 50m
breaststroke, 100m breaststroke and the 200IM. Rick
also broke the World Record in the 200IM for his
class. Rick’s outstanding performances during the
week have earned him selection to the Australian
team competing at the International Paralympic
Championships in Rio de Janeiro in November.
Jared Goldthorpe won bronze in the
Men’s Open 200m backstroke. Jared was also a
finalist in the 400m freestyle and semi-finalist in
the 100m backstroke. Jared also swam in the
consolation final of the 200m freestyle. In each
event, Jared swam strong personal best times that
gained him top ten spots in the Australian rankings
- a fitting way to finish up the season before
heading off to the US.
The Championships were also a great opportunity for
some of Bayside’s emerging female athletes. Making
their debut at Open nationals:
Jessica Best competing in the 50m
and 100m backstroke;
Ashley Stone competing in the 50m,
100m and 200m backstroke;
Representing Bayside at Open nationals for the third
year in a row:
Milly McGuinness who competed in
the 50m, 100m and 200m butterfly.
And newcomer to Bayside:
Sarah Hoyles who competed in the
50m, 100m and 200m backstroke and the 200IM.
All our swimmers competed strongly, enjoyed the team
experience, learned a little, and had a lot of fun.
Their achievements are a credit to the ongoing
commitment of the coaching staff at DRAC, and the
continuing support of the Bayside team.
