Another medal to report - one I missed relaying earlier....Melissa Knapton also stormed into Silver position in her 12 and Under Solo as well which again showed the caliber of her routine as she was lying in third position following the figures. She executed the routine confidently and it showed by her medal placing.
This brings the final tally for the club to
2 Gold
3 Silvers
4 Bronze
And Melissa's personal tally to
1 Gold
2 Silvers
1 Bronze
so making her medal haul 4 medals - a truly fantastic weekend.
Well done Melissa.

TEAM GOLD !!!
In the final event of the day the open free combo team swam a faultless routine and go home with a GOLD medal for their efforts, finishing well above silver medalists Rugby, and bronze medalists Trafford.
1. City of Leeds
2. Rugby
3. Trafford
4. Seymour
5. Nairn
Well done to, Ashleigh, Sian, Alice Wood, Alice Dewhirrst, Megan, Georgia, Abigail Devanny, Melissa, Rosie, Jessica, not forgetting the reserves, Rahcel and Abigail Linley.
This is the second team gold for the City of Leeds, and we to go back to 2009 for the 13/14 year team triumph in Scotland. With a strong squad more to follow.
This is the first Gold in City of Leeds colours for,
Ashleigh Rowland
Alice Wood
Sian Boyle
Mellisa Knapton
Abigail Devanny
So a very successful weekend, one which bought medals at this level for the first time to,
Lauren Wyke
Natalie Stephenson-Quayle
Georgia Fielding
Scarlett Kaye
Rebecca Richardson
Angelique Richardson
Abigail Linley
Finally a special mention to Ashleigh Rowland. In her final swim for the club she wins Gold. We have all enjoyed her solos and duets over the years and they will be missed - but a memorable last appearance for the club and hopefully one she won't forget not to mention receiving a fitting send off from those present.
on the way back south now, see you all at training next week !

Silver for the 12 and unders !!!
Well done to the 12 & Under team who swim a fantastic routine to claim the Silver. They were up against tough opposition and narrowly missed out on pipping Bristol for Gold, but a great swim and they will be on the podium tonight.
The Junior Free team were paired against Bristol and although their routine scored higher, they were let down by their figure score which was a full one point behind. No medal this time as there were only the two teams competing.
all in all ere are 18 teams in this years competition and so the medals share is looking healthy as it now stands at,
1 Gold
2 Silvers
4 Bronze
just the combination team to come, there are 5 competitive teams entered so a good chance to add to it.

GOLD in the Junior duet
Well done Jess and Rosie who swimming in last place, wins the GOLD.
As for silver, Ashleigh and Alice missed out by 0.003 in what must be one of the closest scorings so far. So third place finish for the City of Leeds pair. With only four entered in the competition, unfortunately no medal.

12 and under duet
Results are in and Melissa and Rebecca finished 5th in the 12 and under duet. Their swim was well received by the audience and as ever our girls are getting a great reception out there.
The banner is again flying over the balcony and the squad are being well supported by everyone, so thanks to all. We are having a great time here in Drumchapel, and as always are looking to the final day when the teams get their turn.
Hoping to get the result of the Junior Solo soon, where Rosie is lying in 3rd place, Jess in 7th and Alice Dewhirst in 19th. Let's see if they can add to the clubs medal tally when the results are worked out.
As soon as they are, they will be uploaded so keep checking for updates, or push the "follow me" button to be sent an email.

13 / 14 Solo Results
it was close but Rachel and Abigail missed out on the medals finishing 5th and 6th respectively.
Rachel was in 5th place after the figures and so do well to hold position at the business end of the rankings, she really pushed hard for fourth place but couldn't close the gap.
Abigail was lying in 10th place after figures and swam a routine that I calculated was 4th best so improving her position to 6th. She managed to climb above swimmers higher in the figure scores by four places which showed the quality of the solo.
Well done to both girls, and let's not forget they are in the lower age category of this class and so this bodes well for the Nationals and of course next year.
