With illness
still in the club I'd like to thank the swimmers who made the effort to
perform when not 100% and those who were willing to go to family parties
after the competition.
Its good to
see you putting the club first and should be an example to all.
Once again we were missing two older swimmers. We do not have the
depth in these age groups and we struggled in the open events despite
having a swimmer of Lewis's standard moving into this age group we could
still only manage fourth places.
We struggled all night to find those first place positions and even the
tougher swimmers who have done so well against the bigger clubs could not
find their form.
It was nice to see Rebecca Price finding some determination and coming
back to form but the swimmer of the meet has to come from our 13year old
boys. A super swim from Sam Wright saw him going under 1.20 for his 100m
Breaststroke for the first time and finishing in 2nd place.
Patrick Ikhena performed a well timed swim to win the 100 fly and over
taking the opposition in the last 7 metres to win the race, achieving
another club record time.
Ben Pogson is my Swimmer of the meet this week, winning the
100m backstroke in a best time and then winning and breaking the Club
Record in the 100m freestyle and going under the 60seconds.
Well done Ben! |
