Late Medal News (another to report)

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 !
