Shropshire County Championships – Day 3 & 4 Results
Over the weekend of the 10th & 11th March the Wasps continued to notch up their medal tally at the Shropshire County Swimming Championships.
Five Gold medals, 10 Silver medals, 13 Bronze medals, 43 Personal Bests, 15 Midland District Qualification times and one new Championship record - added to the already impressive tally attained from the first weekend of the Championships.
This compares to the 1 Gold, 1 Silver and 6 Bronze medals which were attained over the same mid weekend of last years Championships.
Further evidence that the Club is moving forwards in leaps and bounds, and is now producing some very exciting swimmers with bags of potential. No longer are our swimmers having to rely on winning the best hat or best behaviour competition – we’re winning in the pool!!!!!! Bring it on!
