Yesterday the Micro team travelled to Lancaster to compete in the 2nd Micro league meet of the season.

Our 9 -12 year old age groups done really well with a great level of effort in all events.

We would especially like to thank all those swimmers that competed in swims above their age group. This is always difficult however they performed really well. The boys especially put in some fantastic performances. Also there were one or two swimmers missing due to other commitments but the team did not let this deter them. However this did effect overall points on the day. 

In particular we would like to mention the boys in the 11and 12 age groups. These boys done some fantastic swims and are currently the top performing boys team. 

The individual races had only 6 wins as the days competition was high, for the boys with Angus Lawton (10) winning his 50 meters breast, Eoin O'Connor (12) winning his 50 meters free,  Sam Ellis (10) winning his 25 meters fly. Well done. And for the girls, Eleanor Rea (12) wins in her 50 meters fly and 50 meters back, Ella Prescott (9) winning her 25 meters back. Again well done girls. Again some of the girls are showing as top performers in the overall league.
   
There were also 15 personal best times achieved in the individual races!

Girls: Steph Birch (12) in her 50 meters free, Annabelle Corlett (11) 50 meters fly, Olivia Greenhouse (10) in her 50 meters free, Hannah Jones(12) 50 meters breaststroke,  , Elizabeth McEvilly (10)  50 meters breast, Ella Prescott (9) in her 25 meters fly ,Eleanor Rea (12) 50 meters fly, Gabrielle Thomson (9) in her 25 meters free, Georgia Thomson (10) in her 50 meter back and Freya Wissett (10) with her 25 meters fly. 

Boys: Archie Lawton (10) in his 50 meters free ,Augus Lawton (10) in his 50 meters breast, Dominic McEvilly (9) in his 25 meters breast, Jack Taylor (9) in his 25 meters fly and Jake Wissett (12) in his 50 meters breast.   

The team tried for a final victory of the day in the cannon which the swimmers put in an overwhelming performance and on this occasion came second place.

We look forward to our next meet next week at Huyton. If swimmers are selected for the team we would really appreciate their attendance in order to secure all important points needed.   

Please note when looking at times, all personal records are updated and team results on members page under Micro League tab: all 2nd and 4thplaces in relays were shallow end starts with no diving allowed, hence slightly slower times( and all boys in cannon start shallow end)  
Also on swimmers individual times, to see relays you must use the drop down on the left hand side to include relay times.

Final Result 1st Wigan 139pts , 2nd Garston 122pts, 3rd Lancaster 120, 4thOrmskirk 103pts.
