Chester take record medal haul at North East Regional Championships June 2008
In what was the club’s best performance for years, Chester’s swimmers claimed a grand total of thirteen medals at the North East Regional (NER) Championships at Ponds Forge in Sheffield spread over two weekends of competition on June 8th-9th and 15th-16th. After the national championships, the NERs are the most prestigious event for young swimmers in the North East region – covering Northumberland and Durham and Yorkshire. So success here is a good indicator of progress.
Strong performances were evident throughout the 16-person squad (eight boys and eight girls) with many progressing through heats to finals. But it was the medal winners who topped the bill for Chester with the club’s “two Adams”, Charlton and Hollows leading the way. Both finished second overall in their age-group categories. Adam Charlton (11-year age group) took two gold medals, one silver and one bronze and his time in the 200m butterfly confirmed his position as one of the leading butterfly swimmers in the UK. Adam Hollows (12-years) took four silver and one bronze and showed again his increasing strength in the freestyle and backstroke.
Chester’s expertise in the backstroke showed in the other medals achieved. James Morgan (11-years), appearing in his first NERs claimed a silver medal in the 100m while Calum Gibson (14-years), appearing in his last NERs before he graduates to youth-level swimming, won a silver and a bronze. Meanwhile, for the girls, Jessica Hollows (10-years) won a silver and a bronze medal.
Coach Ian Bullock said that the club’s achievements “were the result of all the hard work in training over the last few months. Chester is again showing itself to be a leading club in the region”. Three swimmers now lead the Chester challenge in the national championships in July; Adam Charlton and Adam Hollows will be joined by Jimmy Gibson (13-years) whose performance in Sheffield was affected by illness.
