Wrexham Junior Sprint Meet
Last Sunday 20 swimmers set off to Wrexham for the club’s annual Junior Sprint Meet – for many swimmers this was their first gala. There were nerves aplenty and many cries of “I can’t find my goggles” and “Can you help put my hat on” along with numerous “When is my next event?” – it was a VERY LONG day!!! HOWEVER at the end of the day we achieved 9 Gold medals 6 Silver medals and 2 Bronze medals as well as some other medals for 4th, 5th and 6th places. A BIG well done to everybody – ALL swimmers also achieved personal best times. Many thanks go to Tracey Fox, Leon Hall and Georgia Butler for helping me organise you all on the day and to the parents for all their support. Onwards and upwards!
