"Pleased With His Win"
- Description
This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 29 February, 1964. "M. Miers of Albion Club at the Palmerston North Boys' High School looks pleased after his win during the school swimming championships held yesterday. Winning the 100 yards backstroke in a time of 1.26.4 made him the junior champion."
The event was actually held at the Queen Elizabeth Technical College swimming pool, as their pool was 33 1/3 yards in length, while the Palmerston North Boys' High School pool was only 25 yards.
