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.
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
