GOLD FOR FORSTER’S NASH WILKES AT AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL CHAMPS

Forster swimmer Nash Wilkes picked up his first gold medal at the Australian National Championships on the Gold Coast this morning.

The 19-year-old swam a personal best in the 100-metres breaststroke for his age group, hitting the wall in just under one minute and three seconds.

Perhaps even more impressively, he finished 10th overall – standing him in good stead for his future in the sport.

He will compete in 50 and 200-metre breaststroke events in the coming days.
