SATELLITE Swimming Club’s talented youngsters continued their success at the North Midland Age Group Championships, securing no fewer than 76 Championship positions.
Flo Thwaites-Miles led the way, winning the nine-year-olds’ Top Girl trophy and Rory Heywood received the runner-up trophy in the 10-year-old Boys’ division.
Chelsea Oliver achieved the highest number of North Midland titles within the club in a tremendous personal performance.
Sam Barratt held a close race in the final heat of the 14-year-olds’ 1,500m freestyle winning by 0.13 seconds in a personal best of 1.07.03.
Peter Anderson was inches away from winning the 50m freestyle but was touched out and came away with a respectable second place.
