Swimmer of Meet

 
Anglian League 3rd round
1st July, 2006

 


It is always interesting when the A Team meet the B Team.

What a result for the B Team beating Wisbech to finish in fourth place. Of course its not down to one swimmer, but the way Kimberley Van-Haren, shot past the other teams (apart from the A) in her determination to win the last relay with a split of 32.2 - well that's not bad for a 10 year old!

It was all down to that relay with the B finishing with 76 points and Wisbech 75 points.

Can you believe that our B Team has a swimmer going to the Nationals!  Patrick Ikhena in a close race beat another of our National swimmers Ben Pogson, to give the B one of their four victories.

Nathan Sargeant beat his mate Josh Van-Haren in the 50m Backstroke to give the B another victory.

Swimmer of the Meet for the B Team goes to Mark Tebbs,  with two wins in the 15/u 100m Butterfly taking 8 seconds off his best time in two months and Mark also won the 100m Breaststroke.

*****


The A Team just about wrapped up the League with Kings Lynn, beating City of Norwich into third place.  Boston are now four points clear of Norwich so as long as we finish in the top three we will win the League.

City of Norwich always bring a strong team to the final and their supporters put ours to shame, so hopefully we can win the final gala and put Boston back on the trophy after two years of Norwich holding it.

Ben Pogson swam a PB in the 100m IM to get the A off to a winning start.
Elvjis Roberts won the 13/u 100m Free with a 5 second PB. 
Joe Morris then won the 100m Breaststroke in a personal best time.
Sam Wright put in an out of skin performance in the 50m Free taking seconds off his best. 
Laura Swain took revenge beating Kimberley Van-Haren in the 200m IM as Kimberley beat her at the Midlands - so a first and second for the club.
Alex French broke the cut off time in the 13/u 100m Breaststroke and of course a PB.
Swimmer of  the Meet is double winner Ose Ikhena, who has struggled to find his old form but bounced  back in style winning the13/u 100m Backstroke with a 3 second PB and Ose also won the 100m  Butterfly.

Well Done,

Ian
