Swimming County Championship Success
We’re always keen to be kept informed of our students’ achievements outside of school and we were delighted to hear about Summer in Year 9’s incredible success in the Swim England Hertfordshire County Championships this month. Summer had a truly amazing finish to the competition, taking home four gold medals in the heats for both 100m and 200m breaststroke and 100m and 200m backstroke plus three silver medals in the heats for the 100m, 200m and 400m individual relays and three bronze medals for 400m and 1500m freestyle and mixed relay. And as if Summer’s wins in the heats weren’t enough, her winning timings also put her in the top three out of all the junior competitors for the whole county for seven of the races, becoming Gold Female Junior County Champion in both the 200m backstroke and 200m breaststroke.
With eight qualifying times under her belt, Summer has earned her place in the South East Regionals in April and has her sights firmly set on the nationals following that.
Summer works incredibly hard, training for over 16 hours a week, getting up very early multiple times a week to train before school. We would like to congratulate Summer on such a fantastic achievement and for showing such determination and hard work.
