NST swimmer posts 3 personal best

Gwynn Postlewait had an impressive performance at the 2024 Northwest Region Age Group Championships, representing both the Newport Swim Team and the city of Newport with distinction. Qualifying in four events and achieving three new personal bests is a significant achievement, especially considering the level of competition at this event. With over 900 competitors from seven states, placing 33rd in both the 50 Free and the 200 Breaststroke, as well as 34th in the 100 Breast, demonstrates her dedication and skill in swimming.

Gwynn’s success at such a young age, competing in the 14-year-old girls division, bodes well for her future in swimming. Participating in a championship that draws talent from across the Northwest region, including Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, provides valuable experience and exposure to a higher level of competition.

Her achievements at the Northwest Region Age Group Championships could serve as a stepping stone to further accomplishments in her swimming career.

Gwynn’s performance is a testament to her hard work, training, and the support of her team and coaches at the Newport Swim Team. As she continues to develop her skills and compete in more events, she’ll likely continue to improve and achieve even greater success in the future. Her performance at the championships is something to be proud of and an inspiration to other young athletes in Newport and beyond.
