Midlands Age Groups.

On Saturday, at a surprisingly sunny Coventry, day 3 of the Midlands Age Groups Championships kicked off with Mollie Wright in the Nova 4x200m free relay, swimming the 3rd leg and pulling the team into the lead with a split which is a pb for her.....and they came 1st!! 

Matthew Shipley qualified in 3rd place for the 200m Breaststroke but bettered this in the final knocking 7 seconds off his heat time to finish in second place.

Mollie then just missed out on a medal in the 4x100m Free relay....the team finished in 4th.

Charly Neilson missed her p.b by 100th of a second in the 200m Breaststroke but a great swim nevertheless.

Matthew then came second in the 200m Backstroke Final, after qualifying 2nd in the heats beating his previous p.b both times

Sunday saw the final day of midlands.....Matthew scored a huge 16 second pb in the 400m free, which gained him a silver medal. Mollie swam off her pb in 200 fly but made it into the final where she improved her heat time by 2 seconds, finishing in 5th.

Going in to the last ranking event Matthew was second place in the bagcats  just one point behind his nearest rival.  He swam a superb 100m Freestyle becoming the Midlands 100m Freestyle Champ and securing first place in the bagcat rankings.  A fantastic achievement.  Well done Matthew!!  

Then finally, he had an I/M final to swim coming in 4th place.
