Day Four
Our busiest day in Sheffield with 5 swimmers in action across 6 races.
Ellie Wheeler was back in action posting good times in her 200 IM and 200 Backstroke, with very little recovery time between them. Jack Williams swam a powerful 50m Breaskstroke, just .01 outside his personal best. Mason Hunnisett and Sam perks shared the middle of the pool in an epic 100 Butterfly showdown, where Sam lead with a strong first 50 but falling to Mason’s dominant endurance in the second 50 where Mason took the lead with very little distance left in the race. Taking 1st and 2nd in that heat with a personal best each, it was incredibly entertaining to watch. On top of all that excitement, Macy Lawrence superbly executed a 100m Freestyle swim, leading all the way to a Junior Bronze Medal and a new personal best.
