Northumberland & Durham SA Championships 2017 – Another successful N&Ds for GAW swimmers – well done team :)

Fantastic performances by all of our swimmers at February’s championships!

Below are the details of the 27 swimmers (2016 -29) who won a medal, made a final or finished in the top 10 of a heat declared winner event.

As with 2016 we had 5 County champions in at least one event – Ryan Zhao, Ella Watson, Sarah Wright, Jessica Cottee and Naomi Parker. Ryan’s haul of 9 golds being the obvious highlight.

The most pleasing statistic though is the total of the medals, finals reached and top 10 finishes. Our swimmers achieved one of these results 134 times this year compared to 112 in 2016. A significant improvement.

This doesn’t capture the huge number of PBs set and great swims by all our swimmers, including those who didn’t quite make it to a final.

Well done everyone!
