the second place getter Georgia Harris from Gisborne by 13

It was the second national title this year for
12-year old Susannah, who at the Junior National Swimming Championships in

In her first ever
post-race television interview, Susannah was asked how much run training
she does. Well....she doesn't! All her fitness and stamina come from her
