New Zealand Government eases COVID-19 Restrictions In Auckland For Last Three Days of NZ Short Course Nationals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Dave Crampton<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swimming New Zealand has confirmed that it will only award National titles from its\u00a0AON NZ Short Course National Short Course Championships<\/strong>\u00a0in Hamilton for events conducted on the last three days of its five-day meet \u2013 after COVID-19 restrictions in Auckland were lifted as of tomorrow night.<\/p>\n

The Championship meet finally kick-started at the Waterworld venue in Hamilton today with the news breaking that the New Zealand Government had made the decision to ease the restrictions in Auckland, from Level 2 to Level 1.<\/p>\n

In a statement today, Swimming New Zealand said: \u201cWe can confirm that Aucklanders will be welcome to compete in the events they have entered in from Thursday October 8 onwards. All results on days three to five, will therefore be deemed National Championship results.\u201d<\/p>\n

The meet got underway today without nearly a third of those swimmers (213) from Auckland who had initially entered the meet.<\/p>\n

Removal of the restrictions would permit all entered swimmers to compete from Thursday but some swimmers from Auckland are staying away and have scratched the meet.<\/p>\n

However, because all Auckland swimmers were originally excluded from the Championships while the region remained under Level 2, the Auckland Swimming Association last week organised its
\nown five-day meet, also starting today, and released psych sheets yesterday.<\/p>\n

Headlining the Hamilton event will be World Championship s 400IM bronze medallist Lewis Clareburt<\/strong>, 200m freestyle World Junior champion Erika Fairweather,<\/strong> 16, and one of the world\u2019s most successful Para swimmer\u2019s Sophie Pascoe,<\/strong> who set seven world records at these championships in 2017.<\/p>\n

Swimmers competing in Auckland include Commonwealth Games medley finalist Bradlee Ashby<\/strong>, who heads the 200m IM and 100m butterfly and Brearna Crawford,<\/strong> 17, who heads the 50m and 100m butterfly, 50m backstroke, and 50m, 100m and 200m breaststroke, and is off to Indiana University, Bloomington on scholarship next year.<\/p>\n

Commonwealth Games finalist Carina Doyle<\/strong> heads the freestyle events, with 54.56, in the 100m event, but the duel between Fairweather, (53.90) and Laura Littlejohn,<\/strong>16, (54.49) in Hamilton should be the one to watch.<\/p>\n

Missing altogether are top swimmers Ali Galyer<\/strong> and Helena Gasson<\/strong>, who like Clareburt, are off to the International Swimming League in Budapest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Swimming New Zealand made the decision to move the meet from Auckland to Hamilton due to Covid-19 restrictions, after Auckland\u2019s Level 2 restrictions limited groups to no more than 100 in the region until, as announced today, 11:59pm tomorrow night October 7.<\/p>\n

The remainder of the country is in Alert level 1 where there are no such restrictions.<\/p>\n

The following day the Government announced Auckland would join the country at Level 1 on October 7, meaning all Auckland swimmers are permitted to compete outside of Auckland from October 8.<\/p>\n

All Auckland swimmers who entered the Hamilton meet were automatically entered in the Auckland meet unless otherwise notified, and are withdrawn from the meet in Hamilton.<\/p>\n

Yet up until today, Swimming New Zealand\u2019s Hamilton psych sheets continue to include all Auckland swimmers from October 8.<\/p>\n

Entry to the Auckland meet is conditional on all swimmers completing the five-day meet at the venue that the AON New Zealand Short Course championships were originally to be held, instead of
\ntravelling to Hamilton on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

If that condition remains, Auckland swimmers competing in Auckland will be missing from the Hamilton event and so all National titles will not be contested by the country\u2019s top swimmers.<\/p>\n

Results of the Hamilton meet will be posted here: http:\/\/livetiming.se\/results.php?cid=5634<\/a> and the entry lists are here http:\/\/livetiming.se\/program.php?cid=5634&session=0&all=1<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
