Counties Age Group weekend 3 – 800’s report
28 Jan 2024
The third weekend of the Wiltshire County Championships saw the 800’s being held at Marlborough college. We only had four swimmers competing, but all swam well gaining 3 personal best times and winning 3 medals.
There was limited warm up time, but all swimmers managed to get their warms ups completed and swam their pre-race prep sets well and to the planned times.
Erin was first up, and she swam a well-paced race, picking up her tempo mid race and finishing well to gain nearly a 20 second pb and win the bronze medal in the 13 years age group.
Next were Ethan H and Georgie in the same heat who both went out on race plan pace. Ethan managed to maintain this throughout and finished with a 22 second pb, finishing second fastest 16-year-old and 5th in the open age group. Georgie maintained a consistent pace throughout and won the bronze medal in the girls 15 years age group.
The last heat saw Theo competing as the only 16-year-old in the final heat. He went out really fast completing the first 100m in under a minute. Theo managed to hold his pace throughout the race which saw nothing between the first three swimmers until the last 50m. Theo finished with a 15 second pb and won the bronze medal in the open age group.
