As reported some weeks ago Elisabeth Yaneske won Gold at the Scottish National Championships. We have just been notified that the time she set for the 1500 meters freestyle has been ratified and is now the Scottish Record – A special Xmas present for her.
North Eastern Senior\Junior Regional Championships held at Sunderland Aquatics Centre 30th Nov\1st Dec.
Representing Sedgefield 75 were Phillip Walker, Mathew Bradley and Hannah Featherstone. They competed in ten events on Saturday making a total of seven finals. Mathew won silver and bronze in the 100 FS as Junior and Senior and Gold in the 50 Breast as Junior. Hannah won Gold in the 50 FS and Gold in the 200 Back as Junior and Silver as Senior.
On Sunday Phillip and Hannah swam in six events making four finals. Hannah won silver in the 100 Back as a Junior and won Gold and Silver as Junior and Senior in the 100 FS.
It was the first year for Mathew and Hannah competing in the senior events and without doubt much of their success over the weekend was down to the support given by Phillip who has a huge amount of experience competing at this level
Next weekend is the turn of the younger swimmers who will be competing at the Derwentside Xmas Meet
Looking to next year we have been informed that Hannah has been selected to attend the England Development Camp on the 3rd to 5th Jan 2014
The news seems to have got much better since we found out we have gained sponsorship from Hay’s Travel based in Newton Aycliffe.
