May 2017 BoBSC North East Regionals

 

 

After a fantastic first week at the North Easterns, BoBSC returned for week 2 in the pool at Sunderland.  The competition running from Friday – Monday, saw the highest placed finalists for the club.

 

BoBSc had 6 qualifying in the age group competition and 5 in the Youth competition across a multitude of events.

 

Saturday saw Jessica Richardson competing in the 400 freestyle, followed by Georgia Lee in the 100m fly and Kalum Smart in the 100m free both achieving personal bests.  Georgia then produced an amazing 6 second PB in the 200m Breaststroke.

 

The final event of the morning was the 50m fly in which Kalum Smart gained his 5th PB of the championship to secure a place in the final, which saw a further PB and a 4th place with 29.89.  Kalum was back in the pool first on the Sunday morning with a further pb of 1:09.05 securing his 3rd final for butterfly, before his last heat in 50m Backstroke with another PB.       

 

BoBSC then had both Roman Wallace and Myles Tupman competing in the 200m breaststroke, Myles pulling out a significant 12 second pb coming 17th in a race he entered at 32nd.  Roman also achieved a 10second PB to win a place in his 3rd final of the champs.

 

In the last finals for the age group, Kalum achieved a 4th place with 1:08.04 in the 100m fly, whilst Roman secured 4th in the 200m Breaststroke final maintaining his time of 2:52.65.

 

Monday was the final day for the Youth and Seniors qualifiers which due to a change in date many of the qualifiers were unable to swim due to exams.   However, that didn't stop Tom Speed who qualified for the final in 50 breaststroke with a time of 29.79 and had a great swim in the 50m butterfly and freestyle.  Tom went on to achieve his 2nd Gold of the championship in the final of the 50m breaststroke.

  

Carly Herbert, Head Coach said 'it has been an amazing NER for the club, with a phenominal number of finals from our swimmers.  We have some great talent coming through at the club and I hope to have more qualifiers at the next Regional Championships in October'.  This is the highest number of age group swimmers we have had representing the club in the finals.
