Jim Savory gala results 2006
Congratulations to all those who swam in the gala yesterday. We came in 4th, against tough opposition, and despite having a very depleted team, with several of those who were there battling illness and with many swimmers swimming up one or even 2 age groups.
There were some very good individual and relay swims. We clocked up a total of 4 1st places, 7 2nd places and 9 3rd places.
The U12 girls had a particularly good night, with Demera taking 1st place in the 1 length breaststroke, Sarah 1st place in the 1 length fly and Leyla 3rd place in the 1 length backstroke. The U12 girls team of Demera, Leyla, Sarah and Charlotte came in 1st in their freestyle relay and 2nd in their medley relay.
The U14 girls also did well. Sarah (who was swimming up an age group) came in 2nd in the 3 lengths breaststroke, Latisha came 2nd in the 1 length fly and Matilda came 3rd in the 3 lengths backstroke and 4th in the 3 lengths freestyle. The U14 girls team of Matilda, Amina, Latisha and Amber were 3rd in their medley relay and 4th in their freestyle relay.
Among the older girls, Abigail, Anna and Rachel all got 3rd places - Abigail in the U16 IM, Rachel in the U16 3 lengths freestyle and Anna in the Open 3 lengths freestyle. The U16 girls (Rachel, Katie, Charlotte and Safaa) and the Open girls (Abigail, Anna, Charlotte & Safaa) both came 3rd in their freestyle relays.
For the U12 boys, James came in 3rd in the 1 length fly.
In the U14 boys events, Nabil won the 1 length fly and Joe came 2nd in the 3 lengths backstroke. The U14 boys team of Connor, Ben, Nabil and Joe came 2nd in their freestyle relay and 4th in their medley relay.
Alex came 2nd in the U16 3 lengths breaststroke and the Open boys team of Richard, Paul, Kieran and Jonathan came 2nd in their medley relay.
Congratulations to all these swimmers and an especial thank you to Connor, Nabil, Alex, Paul and Richard from Leyton SC, without whom we would not have been able to field U14, U16 or Open boys teams.
