Our youngest swimmer Adam Colgan finished an excellent 'first reserve' for the 100 backstroke finals with a time of 1:28.12L, confirming his Irish Division 2 time. Megan had a great swim in her 200m breaststroke event in which she made the finals and further improved her Div 2 time, finishing in 8th place overall. Chloe took another 3.39secs off her 400 freestyle time but was a little outside her PB in 100 back and 200 IM. Day 3 saw Chloe tackle the 400 IM (a nemesis for nearly all swimmers!) and set an impressive time of 6:24.68L. In all Chloe achieved four Div 2 times.
Aaron had mixed fortunes; a minor infringement meant disqualification in the 200 IM but he made up for this when he achieved an Irish Division 1 time in his 100m free. Jamie and Daniel were a little outside their best in the 100 fly and 200 back respectively, however Daniel was back on form of the 100 back, just 2secs off the Irish Division 1 standard.
Daniel Mulholland was on top form; along with achieving Div 2 times in 100 back and breast and 400 IM Daniel scooped three golds in the 100, 200 and 1500 freestyle events and silver in the 400 freestyle. Daniel adds these Ulster titles to his Ulster 800m freestyle record, set earlier in the year. Daniel has also achieved two Division 1 times in his 200 and 1500 freestyle, which qualifies him for the Irish Age Group Championships in the NAC this summer.
In all a long weekend but an excellent meet for Lecale; lots of good times, excellent technique and lessons learned from competing against Ulster's best. Well done to all swimmers and thank you to the parents who helped with timekeeping. Photo to follow.
