A MORDIALLOC life saver will return from a national surf life saving competition with two medals.
Mordialloc Life Saving Club’s Samantha Barrow has been competing in the 2021 Australian Surf Life Saving Championships in Queensland. Her efforts have seen her win silver in the 40-44 Years Master’s Women’s Beach Flags event and bronze in the 40-44 Years Masters Women’s Beach Sprint.
Ms Barrow said “I’m absolutely thrilled to have won two medals at the Aussies.”
“The level of competition is such a high standard so being able to mix it with the best competitors from around Australia is such a fantastic reward for all the hard work and training,” she said.
“Backing this up with a fourth in the 1 km Beach Run is also incredibly exciting. A big thank you to my family and Team Mordy for your support this season.”
The 2021 Australian Surf Life Saving Championships run from 16 April to 24 April. More than 6000 people compete in 480 separate events.
