Faulconbridge swimmer Jenna Jones has been performing strongly in the Rio Paralympics, pulling off a personal best in one event, and making the finals in another.
At just 15, Jenna has been competing against swimmers much older than herself.
In her favoured event, the 50m freestyle, on the morning of Wednesday, September 14 (Rio time) she placed second in her heat in 28:57, which secured her a spot in the finals that evening. There she swam seventh in 28:77 to 24-year-old winner Anna Stetsenko from the Ukraine who set a world record in 27:34.
In the 100m breaststroke on September 11, Jenna was fifth in her heat in 1:22:25, a personal best time of more than two seconds.
She was also fifth in her heat in the 200m individual medley on September 10 in 2:41:55.
Jenna still has two more events to go, the 100m freestyle on Friday, and the 100m backstroke on Saturday.
