I am a year 12 student at Auckland Girls Grammar School and I have achieved my NCEA level 1. Last year I was awarded a certificate for excellence in science and I received the junior school swimming award in 2007 and the Intermediate school swimming award in 2008 & 2009. I will graduate from high school in 2011. I started swimming when I was 7 years old and I currently swim for the Papatoetoe Swimming Club. I qualified for the NZ junior swimming level in 2004, 2005 & 2006.
I joined the Muriwai Surf Life Saving Club in 2003 and in the same year I placed 3rd in the surf swim at the Auckland Age Group Championships. In 2007 I was awarded my Bronze medallion and I placed third in the rookie lifeguard of the year competition. I was awarded most outstanding junior lifeguard for Muriwai in 2008 and I also gained my first aid level 1&2.
I know that all Raiseys Original (Honey & Whey, HYDRATE and ISOL8) products are making a big difference in my training. I recover better, I have more energy during and after training.
Long term Athletic Objective:
It is my goal to compete at the 2016 Olympic Games.
Short term Athletic Objective:
My short term goal is to place in the top 10 at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games.
We are stoked to be helping Rishan with her training and competing. She's really going places, so keep an eye out for her in the future.
