Midland District BAGCATS Long Course Championships 11th & 12th June 2005 - Coventry

We had three swimmers at the second and final weekend of the Midland District BAGCAT Championships held in the 50 Metre pool in Coventry.

Alice Horton took on another four events over the two days starting with a 200 metre Back and 100 metre Fly on the Saturday. Sunday turned out to be a better day when she battled through an 800 metre Freestyle swim to win the girls 12 year Gold medal improving on her NQT in the process. The 200 metre Fly saw another podium finish, this time a Silver medal being the reward for her efforts. Alice’s haul for the Championships was 2 Golds, 1 Silver and 2 Bronzes and she will now get down to some serious preparation ready for the National Championships at the end of July beginning of August.

Tom Lane also had four events and continued his good form for the championships achieving Long course PB’s in each event and Short Course equivalents in three out of four. Tom contested the 12 Yr 100 metre Fly, 200 metre Back, 400 metre I.M. and 200 metre Free. His best finish being 10th in the Individual Medley event.

Laura Biggadike had just the one swim and managed a Long course PB in the 800 Freestyle event finishing 18th in the girls 13 Yr age group.
