Sedgefield 75 swimmers competed last weekend at the Spa Town Gala in Harrogate. Swimming were Katelyn and Ethan Craig, Leah Smith, Kathryn and Charlotte Lee, Matthew Winbury and Chloe Harding. A total of 12 medals were won, 6 gold, 1 silver and 5 bronze.
All swimmers gave maximum effort in very hot conditions and they all swam fantastic new personal best times in every event they entered sharing excellent team spirit and making their club very proud.
Emma Price who also competed won all three of her races but due to smashing the upper time limit had to forfeit her gold medals for three speeding tickets. Speeding tickets are issued to swimmers who swim a race faster than the upper time allowed. They are put in place to allow fast swimmers to race but to prevent them taking all the medals in a lower level gala for swimmers who aren’t of such a high standard. Two of these times qualified her for next years N&D Championships.
All swimmers pass special thanks to Emma Craig who was pool-side coach for both days.
