EAST REGION YOUTH CHAMPS 2010
Regional finalist Gemma Sargent from St Ives
Swimming Club came back from injury to claim an impressive 5th place
in the 50m backstroke final with an outstanding personal best time of
32.03 seconds at the East Regional Youth Champs held the 1st and 2nd
May at Norwich. Gemma age 16 (pictured) has suffered with knee injuries
over the past year and has only recently been back to full training,
making this accomplishment even more impressive. Other
St Ives club swimmers Alex Berezynskyj, Ashley Bygraves, Becky Hime,
and Cathy Thomson who also met the demanding cut off time criteria
enabling them to compete, gave excellent performances.
St.Ives attained more success that weekend at the heavily attended Tulip
open meet Spalding. Hazel Sterling (age 10) triumphed gaining two first
place and one second place medal positions and was the fastest in her age
group in the two open races. Hanna Jaszkiewicz (age 9) also won an impressive
first place and two second place positions and was the fastest in her age
group in the open races. Tom Davis (age 14) achieved two second place and
one third place position with Luke Watson (12), David Cummings (17) and
Helen Timmins (14) all gaining places in finals.
Note to mark: The Regional Champs include all the counties in the whole
of the east of England. They are the next step up from the County Champ.
The minimum cut off times required to be eligible to compete are very high.
The next level up from the Regionals is the Nationals where the very best
in the country swim. Therefore it is an amazing achievement to gain the
times to swim in the Regionals and even greater to be in a final.

ST IVES SWIMMING CLUB COUNTY SWIMMING CHAMPS
RESULTS
St Ives Swimming Club went into the British Gas Cambridgeshire
County Swimming ‘A’ Championships full of high hopes. On
Sunday 28th March after two gruelling weekends of competition they
emerged having excelled their own expectations. This year’s
competition had proved tougher to qualify for with much more stringent
times to be achieved and the St Ives swimmers surpassed themselves and
outshone many of their other County challengers. After the
last day of competition St Ives emerged with over 85 top 3 medals including
32 Golds, Over 100 Finalists, Four County Records broken, three swimmers
winning the coveted Top Boy and Top Girl Age Group titles, the City of
Cambridge attained 2 Age group titles with the rest going to the City
of Peterborough and a resounding 3rd placing in the relays close behind
the City of Cambridge in second place and 28 points clear of Huntingdon
Piranhas in 4th place. This has reinforced St Ives as a major player
in Cambridgeshire swimming following on from their promotion to Division
1 of the Arena National League in December 09 to compete alongside Cambridge
and Peterborough and with an eye to again participating successfully
in Division 1 of the Milton Keynes Junior League from June onwards. St
Ives Swimming Club would like to thank their sponsors for their ongoing
support and if there are any budding swimming champions.
Thank you and Congratualtions to the swimmers who swam:
