Flat lake training proves winner for Mooloolaba girls

 slsa logo 2014Surf Life Saving Australia, April 16, 2015: AN unusual training spike in the lead-up to The Aussies proved a masterstroke for the gold medal winning Mooloolaba under-19 Board Relay crew. 

The team of Georgina McDermott, Kirriena Raymond, Karlee Nurthen was able to take advantage of the calmer conditions delivered by North Kirra.

“The paddle in reminded me of training on the flat lake back home which was always so hard,” Kirriena said.

They were forced to come from behind to overhaul the Newport crew after Georgia Miller established a sizeable lead on the first-leg.

A determined final leg proved decisive as McDermott seized the lead to steer Mooloolaba to victory.

“I was hurting, I couldn’t see anyone next to me or in front me so I just ran for Gold,” says McDermott.

The battle for second was intense with Northcliffe edging out Newport in a sprint to the finish.
