Sportsman Of The Month

Margaret Mckee

Young Margaret McKee has emerged as one or the stars of the swimming world in Gisborne this season. In this her third season of swimming, she has smashed numerous records and shown great improvement in strength and style.

Margaret started out as a promising swimmer, but her improvement during this season has been remarkable.

This 13-year-old daughter of Mr and Mrs Grant McKee, Clifford Street, and member of the Comet Swimming Club, has had only conventional training but plenty of practice has assured success for her in various competitions. At the recent Hawkes Bay-Poverty Bay championships held at Napier she broke seven records including the 12-14 years 220yards freestyle. Margaret will be attending the National Championships at New Plymouth at the time of publication and we wish her every suecess at these events.
