Micro Team Achieve 2ndPlace at Knowsley/Huyton  

Today was our first Micro League meet of the season. Our 9 -12 year old age groups made a good start to the season at Knowsley Aquatic Centre.

It was the first ever Micro League for some swimmers so a very special 'Well Done' to them.

The first relay of the day was won by the girls 12 years & under relay team and there were some fantastic swims ahead.

A special mention to the 9 year old girls. In both of their relays, IM and freestyle they were just piped to the post and came in second place.  

Unfortunately there were a couple of DQs with change overs in the relays, possibly due to the excitement of the day however this did not put off any of the swimmers and they all rallied together putting together a good overall team performance.

The individual races had 7 individual wins with Jack Boswell ( 9) winning his 25 meters breast, Katelyn Quirk( 12) winning her 50 meters free and 50 meters fly, Eleanor Rea winning her 50 meters back and 50 meters fly ,Katie Robinson (12) winning her 50 meters back and Shaun Walker (10) winning his 50 meters free.
There were also 19 personal best times achieved in the individual races!

The final victory of the day was in the cannon which the swimmers put in an overwhelming performance and came first place. Well done to everyone who took part and we look forward to the next gala in May at Leyland.

Please note when looking at times, all personal records are updated and team results on members page under Micro League tab: all 2nd and 4th places in relays were shallow end starts with no diving allowed, hence slightly slower times.( and all boys in cannon)

Final Result  1st Garston 146pts, 2nd Ormskirk 123pts, 3rd Burnley Aquatics 105pts, Liverpool Penguins 104pts.
