City of Ely Amateur Swimming Club competed in the recent Swim England East Region Long Course Championships over three weekends in April and May.
The championships were held in both Norwich and Luton at the 50m pools. This year, the club had an amazing nine athletes qualify, they were Jorja Atkinson, Josh Black, Megan Clarke, Oliver Davey, Oliver Fuller, Jacob Schultz, Cillian O’Brien, Tia Hill, Daniel Kendall. All had impressive swims with new personal best times.
The highlights of the championships were the medals achieved by Jorja Atkinson (1Gold, 1 Bronze); Josh Black (1 Gold and 1 Bronze) and Oliver Fuller (1 Silver, 1 Bronze). Also, a very impressive time from Oliver Davey in the 14 year old 50m free final saw him narrowly miss a medal, however the time has qualified him for Swim England Nationals in August which is a fantastic achievement. Jorja finished 10th in the 11/12yr age group overall with Josh Black 6th in the 13 year old category and Oliver Fuller was 8th, also in the 13 year old age group.
Cillian and Jacob were competing at their first regional championships, gaining valuable experience for the future. Jacob competed in 2 finals from his 12 events.
Congratulations to all our athletes for qualifying and for all their achievements!
