This year the second ‘Canowindra Cod’ race was held for the fastest boys and girls. The fastest swimmer from each year group was selected to compete in the race with a timed handicap depending on their individual swim times. The aim of the race is to even the playing field and have the athlete (in theory) finish at the same time for an exciting event. The first ever Canowindra Codess Hannah Gordon held her spot as number 1 and Jay Burn secured the title of Canowindra Cod for 2024 – Well done Hannah and Jay!
