Yorkshire Winter Competition - Lower Age Group

Post date: Sep 18, 2018 8:35:51 AM

Nine of our younger swimmers had qualified for the 9-12 Age Group of the Yorkshire Swimming Association Winter Competition: Joe Neary-Lamond, Heidi Fothergill, Libby Anderson, Freddie Fenwick, James Taylor, Ellie Rowson, Alex Tew, Jessica Grant and Alice Sturgeon.  We also welcomed Keira Shaw (Keke) to our squad - Keke has recently joined Team Jorvik but had entered through her old club, City of Wakefield.  The squad all performed magnificently!  Between them they achieved 27 PBs from 35 swims, with some huge improvements in some of the races, notably Alex and Jess each taking of 12 seconds off their 100m Back times.  We had 4 "Top 10" placings: Alex finishing 8th in 100m IM and 6th in 100m Back, and Keke placed 7th in 100m Free and 5th in 50m Free.  Congratulations to Keke for achieving 3 NER qualifying times: in 50 & 100 Free and 50 Back, and also to Heidi who posted an NER QT for 50 Back.  Well done everyone!
