Well done to Jamie Keyte, and Katie and Becky Gulliver for their performances at last weekend’s Corby Open Meet.

Jamie and Katie got 5 gold medals each, and both made the finals of both the 50 and 100 freestyle.

Becky made the final of the 11/12 100 freestyle, finishing 5th overall. Becky also got 4th place in the 50 Backstroke.

Between the three of them, they achieved 12 personal best times out of their 16 races – not bad for a long course meet!

Corby – we will be back next year!
