County Championships 3rd/4th March 2012




A long weekend of swimming at Mansfield saw the final two days of this years county championships.

On Saturday the swimmers swam 32 p.b times from 40 individual events with Mollie Wright winning the girls 400m Freestyle event and Matthew Shipley achieving first place in the 9/10yr old boys 50m Freestyle.

On Sunday, Mollie came runners up in the girls 13yr old 200m Free and Matthew picked up a second place medal for the 9/10yr 50m Backstroke. Excellent p.bs were gained by the majority of the swimmers.

In the multi disability events Jacqueline Jenkins Weller won both her events with Emily Anthony coming in second place.

In the BagCat awards Matthew Shipley(10yr) finished in first place ... well done Matt, County Champion :-) Bradley Francis (9yr) finished in 5th, Mollie Wright(13yr) finished in 4th and Ryan Pigott (12yr) finished in 6th place.
Swimmers just outside the top ten were Charly Neilson - 12th place, Elise Yorston 12th place, Eve McG - 11th place and Ellie Knowles - 13th Place.

Over the course of the county championships the swimmers have been a credit to the club and their parents, all constantly cheering and supporting each other. They should ALL be proud of their efforts.

Many thanks to Russ Pigott, Sharon Knowles, Scott Kennerell, Amber Williamson, Lisa Wright and Diane Brown for their help on poolside.
