Millfield and Bath TYR Meet at Millfield October 2019
There was a wealth of talent on show at the Millfield and Team Bath meet at the weekend. Our sincere thanks must go to the hosts for running a great meet. For the majority of swimmers this was our first chance to experience a short course meet at the start of the new season. The meet also offered an opportunity to educate our swimmers on racing in a range of different events.
In the 10 year Age Group our new Junior Girls Captain Lottie V put in some fine performances. Equally our new Junior Boys captain Freddie B looked strong in his Breaststroke events. His time of 2’56.25 earned him a new 12 year old Boy’s Club record in the 200m Breaststroke and it was good to see him holding his technique and keeping the length on his stroke in this event. Teammate Freddie H had a great weekend as he won 6 Gold and 3 Silver medals. He also achieved 8 Regional Qualifying times in the process. Luca S continued his success from last season as he won 4 Gold, 1 Silver and 2 Bronze medals. Luca’s swim in the 50m Backstroke was impressive as he too set a new 12 year old Club Record. Luca also broke his own 100m Breaststroke record with a time of 1’19.70 which is impressive at the start of the season. Abigail S swam exceptionally well to win 4 Gold, 2 Silvers and 1 Bronze medal in the 11 year Age group. Jessica H also swam well in her Backstroke events as she broke Georgia Harrison’s 200m Backstroke record set in 2011 with a time of 2’43.55.
Newcomer to the Club, Seren P went home with an assortment of medals as she won 4 Gold and 3 Silver medals in the 12 year Girls Age group.
Robbie H stood out in the 14 year Age Group as he won 5 Gold medals and 1 Silver medal. Robbie has his sights on Winter Nationals later on in the year and it was good to see him swimming well this weekend. Catherine E also claimed a place in the Winter Nationals in December as she recorded a time of 1’03. 61 in the 100m Butterfly.
All in all, this was a hugely successful meet for the club. There were some good performances and a huge PB rate from all of our swimmers. As well as those swimmers already mentioned, swimmers who stood out included: Daniel A(200m Freestyle); Tom C (100m Freestyle); Ben D (100m Breaststroke); Jack G (100m Breaststroke, 200m Breaststroke); Jess H (200m Backstroke, , 200m Butterfly); Arron H (400m Freestyle; 400m IM); Max L (200m Backstroke); Charlie M (100m Freestyle, 100m Backstroke); Sheila M (50m Freestyle, 100m Butterfly); Martha M(100m Breaststroke, 200m Freestyle); Tilly Mc (200m Breaststroke, 400m IM); Jamie Mc (200m Backstroke); Joe O’(200m Breaststroke), Zoe S (100m Breaststroke); Betsy V (200m IM and 100m Freestyle).
