In what is a qualifying event for the world titles, Mudgee had four talented athletes hit the water as they tried to take down the best in the country.
Alyisha Beckingham swam 100m breaststroke in a time of 1:16.17mins to place 34th 200m while her breaststroke time of 2:41.00mins saw her finish 18th as she narrowly missed out on the semi-final cut off.
In the 50m breaststroke her time of 35.51secs placed her 47th overall as she continued her excellent form which saw her compete at the Australia National and Age Championships this year and last.
15-year-old Luke Beckingham hit the water in the 100m backstroke and clocked 1:11.63mins to place 31st while his 200m backstroke time of 2:36.7mins saw him finish 27th
Macy Morley competed in the 50m freestyle and finished with a time of 27.89sec to register 47th overall.
She missed qualifying for 100m free by one week when she swam 1:00.6mins at CHS Championships and missed qualifying for the 100m backstroke by 0.3 sec, (1:09.50) and 100m butterfly and 0.4 sec (1:07.30).
Another team member Melissa Campbell was just outside the 100m backstroke time of 1:20.00.
Macy, Luke and James Newall will train on for the All Schools Carnival to be held in Sydney on May 18.
