Ironwoman Final - 2019 Queensland Surf Life Saving Championships

Watch as Lana Rodgers takes out the 2019 Queensland Surf Life Saving Championships Ironwoman final.

A commanding swim leg saw Noosa’s Lana Rogers come from behind to win her first Queensland ironwoman title.

The reigning Australian champion gave up an early lead to Northcliffe’s Danielle McKenzie, but clawed her way back as the race progressed to take out top honors.

McKenzie finished in second place, with club-mate and defending champion Courtney Hancock taking the bronze.

“It means so much to win,” Rogers said.

“I think I made my first open ironwoman final here last year and I got second in that, and I improved on that this year, so I’m really happy.”
