Excerpt: Kirsten Cameron, born 1973 in Masterton, is a former New Zealand Distance freestyle and open water swimmer and a world record holder in Masters swimming in the 30-34, and 35-39 age groups. She was the 2009 national champion for women's 10 km open-water swim. Kirsten started competitive swimming in 2004.

Champion was born in 1883 in Auckland and taken to Norfolk Island (now an Australian territory but then a British colony), at a young age. His mother, Sarah Clara Quintal, descended from the Bounty mutineer Matthew Quintal. His father Captain William Nhill Champion was a sea captain who traded around the Pacific. Malcolm later worked on his father's ships and by the end of the 19th century was living in Auckland. Between 1901 and 1914, Champion won thirty-two New Zealand national titles, at one point holding the titles for every distance between 220 yards (200 m) and one mile (1.6 km). Champion was suspended at th
