Saturday was the day for sprinting – well the annual Coventry Sprints for the many Beeches swimmers who attended this meet.
The Coventry Sprints – where you try your hardest to swim one length (50 meters) in each stroke – and if you do really well you get rewarded by swimming a 200 I.M. in a final swim off!
It was a very warm Saturday at Coventry, but the swimmers were in good spirits and form.
Individual medal winners on the day were:
Gold medal winners – Becky Gulliver (10’s 50 Free); Catrise Hart (10’s 50 Back); Ellison Hart (10’s 50 Back).
Silver medal winners – Danya Gaddu (14’s 50 Butterfly and 50 Back); Katie Gulliver (15/over 50 Free); Jamie Keyte (15/over 50 Free and 50 Butterfly); Harvey Higgins (10’s 50 Butterfly and 50 Free); Penny Whittingham (15/over 50 Back); Jamie Keyte (15/over 50 Back and 50 Butterfly).
Bronze medal winners – Sophia Deans (11’s 50 Breast and 50 Free); Catrise Hart (10’s 50 Breast and 50 Free); Lewis Carless (10’s 50 Breast); Becky Gulliver (10’s 50 Butterfly); Ellison Hart (10’s 50 Butterfly); Trearna Hart (10’s 50 Back).
Other swimmers on the day were Ella Payne, Vinaye Gaddu, Victoria Cox, Andrew Gulliver, Luke Flaherty, Abbie Fuller, Emma Fuller and Daniel Cox.
Reaching the final is an amazing achievment and the finalists on the day were:
Girls 10’s – Catrise Hart (2nd), Trearna Hart (3rd), Becky Gulliver (4th).
