Wasps are Runners Up in the Crusader League Round 2
Well done to all
the swimmers who took part in Round 2 of the Crusader League on
Saturday and notched up a total of 217 points to claim second place
behind a formidable Newcastle team on 235 points.
In all we had 17
first places and over half of all events were either 1st or
2nd.
Everyone swam
extremely well but there are a few who deserve a special mention:
Our relay teams
performed very well - the Open Ladies team – Charlotte Evans,
Charlotte Archdeacon, Lydia Jamieson and Bryony Archdeacon were
unbeaten in their two relay events .The 12/u Girls team – Annabel
Cook, Beth Jamieson, Amelia Penn and Melina Athanassiu; the 14/u girls
– Ellie Reid, Lydia Jamieson, Bryony Archdeacon and Annabel Cook;
and the 12/u boys – Ed Reid, Hayden Ciesielski, James Cook and
Charlie Lane all won their Medley relays.
In the individual
events Charlotte Archdeacon secured maximum points for the team by
winning the Open Ladies Individual Medley, the 100m Backstroke and the
100m Breastroke. Annabel Cook won both the backstroke and freestyle
events in her age group and James Cook matched his sister’s two wins
with two of his own in the backstroke and fly events. Bryony
Archdeacon won both her individual events – the backstroke and the
breastroke. Joe Evans made it a convincing win in the Open Freestyle
and Lydia Jamieson swam up in the Open Fly and won. It was only Tait
Furnival’s second appearance for the Wasps and even though she had
already swum 4 lengths of Fly, she still came out on top in the
backstroke with a fantastic win.
A few of our
swimmers have made their debut in league swimming over the last two
galas so well done to Bridie Buckingham, Philippa Lane, Tait Furnival,
Rebecca Woolley, Lucinda Smith, Ben Dawson, Reid Morgan and Cameron
Moore who all put in a fantastic effort.
A big thank you
too to Gareth Biggs who swam for us at the last minute.
Everyone’s
points count in the league galas so well done to all swimmers who took
