DARTES B Grade - Medals and personal bests galore

Posted by Andy on the 25th of May, 2009

On a bakingly hot day at Adwick Leisure Centre our brave swimmers collected and as always it was cooler outside than it was on poolside! It was an early start for Amber, Jess, Lauren, Katie and Eva but Sandra and Nige kept them motivated and lined up ready for their next events. As always the team did well amassing five medals and ten personal bests - Jess Gillatt did extremely well with two golds but Lauren, Katie, Eva and Amber can be very proud of their achievements knocking huge lumps off their personal bests; Amber also walked off without her medal!!!

In the afternoon Clive strolled up to take over from Nige working with the ever present Sandra (what a brick :)). The afternoon team was made up of Andy, Jordan, Shannon, Chelsea, Leah, Josh Sellars and Josh Greenhalgh and they didn't disappoint coming away with six medals and fourteen personal bests. Andy had come for his holy grail, a sub-60 second 100m freestyle but it evaded him once again but he did get a gold medal for his efforts (Andy - we are with you all the way on this one, stick at it). Jordan medalled in all his events and Chelsea got a gold in her beloved breaststroke (by a fingernail). But our other swimmers; Leah, Josh Sellars and Josh Greenhalgh performed admirably picking up personal bests with ease.

The tale of the tape ended as eleven medals (five gold, one bronze and five finalists) and twenty-four personal bests

Many thanks to our officials on the day - Ian Gordon , Neil Sellars, Nige Clark, Sandra Eales, Andy Allerton, Clive Greenhalgh and Andy Blacklock (Cheerleader extraordinaire).
