British Gas/ASA North West Region Age Group Championships - Weekend 2 review

10/6/2013

 
Picture
The final weekend of the 2013 Regional Champs is now over and the 2 swimmers we had representing Chorley Marlins were in excellent form yet again. Well done to Mariette Braithwaite & Alex Highcock, we're all proud of what you ave achieved this year.

Mariette qualified for and competed in the 100m Breast and 100m Freestyle, gaining a long course PB in both events, great going Mariette.

Alex Highcock was also in action in the 100m Breast and the 200m IM, smashing her PB's in both events by over 6 seconds. It was the breaststroke however where she excelled yet again, not only content with getting a National Qualifying Time (NQT) in the 200 Breast the week before she can now add the 100m Breast to that list as well. Alex qualified for the final in 4th and then went faster in the final in a time of 1:21.18 to finish in 4th by a fingertip finish, we'll have to work on the finishing Alex :)


Of course there were some of our swimmers, swimming under the Bolton Squad banner and it goes without saying we are proud of their achievements also.

Anna Doughty was in action in the individual 100m Breast, 200m IM & 100m Free and also a member of the 400m Free, 800m Free & 400m Medley relay teams. Such a busy weekend for Anna and she managed to reach the final in the all 3 of her individual events finishing 6th in the 100m Free, 4th in the 200m IM and taking the silver 2nd place in the 100m Breast. Anna also achieved a NQT for the 200m IM, Well done Anna, you're such an inspiration to all our younger swimmers.

Stephen Hancock was also having a busy weekend competing in the 400m IM, 200m Free, 400m Free, 100m Fly and the 200m Breast. Did you have time to breathe :) LOL. Well done Stephen keep up the hard work.

Jack Dandy was also proving how much of an accomplished swimmer he is with a great performance in the 200m Free to reach the final in 2:05.98. Jack also gave strong performances in the 100m Back, 100m Fly and the 400m Free. Well done Jack.

Also well done to all those Chorley Marlins club members that swam for Bolton Squad at the regional championships.
  • Jack Dandy had a busy weekend competing in 3 relay events (800 free, 400 free, & 400 medley) with his Bolton teammates and competing individually in the 200m IM and the 100m Free. He finished 4th in the heats of the 100m Free to reach the final in a time of 56.49, and then went on to finish 6th in the 14 year old final. Well Done Jack.
  • Anna Doughty competed in the 200m Breast, 100m Fly, 100m Back and the 200m Free. It was the 200m Breast where Anna excelled finishing 3rd in the heats to qualify for the final, in which she again finished 3rd in a time of 2:45.06, well done Anna.
  • Stephen Hancock qualified for 3 events, the 100m Breast, 200m Back and the 200m IM. Stephen obtained PB's in all 3 events with the 100m breast proving to be his best, with him finishing 10th overall in a time of 1:26.56, well done Stephen.

A big CONGRATULATIONS for all those swimmers who through hard work and determination in training have proved why the North West is such a formidable swimming region.

Alex Highcock has done it :)

Alex has achieved a national qualifying time at the Regional Champs this weekend.

Mary & Alex shorlty after the 200m breaststoke heats
Well done Alex.

As you may know Alex achieved a short course National Qualifying Time (NQT) in the 200m Breaststroke at Blackpool last week, but joy turned to sadness when she found out that only times from level 2 galas or above count.

A nervous week ensued as she had already qualified for the NW Regional Championships (Level 1) which were scheduled for the week after. She would have to do it all over again.

Everyone at the club were willing her on and it must of helped as she breezed into the Nationals with a time of 2:54.82, that's 2.4 secs under the qualifying time of (2:57.22), great job Alex. Not only did she achieve the time she wanted but she qualified 4th fastest in the 12 year old category and would be in the final.

Later that day Alex lined up for the final, this time finishing 4th fastest again but in a quicker time of 2:53.67
This means that Alex Highcock goes into the history books as the first swimmer to swim for Chorley Marlins on the National stage at the tender age of 12.

An overjoyed Head Coach (Mary Parkinson) couldn't contain herself eagerly ringing people to tell them of Alex's achievement, she said excitedly "She's done it! we're off to the Nationals, I'm so excited for her and the club." She then went on to describe how Alex wasn't fazed by the whole thing and that Alex's parents and herself were more excited, and Alex had remained the consummate professional throughout. Well done Alex.

The results from the final are below.
