With the start of the new swimming season City’s swimmers tested their racing fitness at the Yorkshire Swimming Associations’ Winter Championships.
Sian Morgan swam to four gold medals and in doing so increased her National Youth qualifying times for 2008 to five. Her wins came in the 100m butterfly, breaststroke and freestyle and the 200m individual medley. She also came in silver medal position in the 100m backstroke.
Thirteen year old Isaac Ehdieb swam to a host of personal best times and medals in his age group when he won silver in the 100m breaststroke and 200m individual medley and bronze in the 100m freestyle where he dipped under the one minute barrier for the first time.
George Mack also swam under the illusive minute with a time of 59.75 to finish in 10th place in the fourteen year old 100m freestyle. However he also came home with a bronze medal in the 100m backstroke and final placings in the 100m breaststroke and 200m individual medley after some outstanding swims.
2007 National age group qualifier Sam O’Donohoe who is consistently improving showed his versatility with final placings in the boys thirteen years 100m backstroke, 100m freestyle, 100m butterfly and 200m individual medley.
James Dawson of Embsay swam consistently well to placings in the twelve year old 100m breaststroke and backstroke and 200m individual medley and Niki Chatburn of Cononley finished in fourth place in the girls eleven years 100m breaststroke.
Last but by no means ten year old Ellie Talbot and twelve year old Harryson Stirk were both rewarded for their hard work with final place finishes and personal times in the 100m backstroke and 100m freestyle respectively.
