TOP 10 result in British Age Groups

TOP 10
10 Dayna CLEGG Ireland

100's (652), Form (619), Medley (599), Free (600), Total (2470)

What a great experience it must have been for Dayna to swim in the British Age Groups. While the rest of us were doing our best at the Nationals, Dayna was putting together a great set of swims in Ponds Forge Pool in Sheffield. On Day one Dayna made the 100BC final and swam close to her PB's in all of her other swims. This is a tough meet and only 70 athletes in the UK qualify for this meet as 11yr olds, but only 18 qualified to swim in all 4 event categories so Dayna has done very well to be the only girl from Ireland to compete in this age category. This meet scores athletes across their 4 best swims in the 100's, Form strokes, Medley events and a free style event. The average for each event is 600+ points with a 700 point swim being an outstanding result. The #1 swimmer got 2,700 points and only 18 swimmers qualified to score in all 4 events. Well done Dayna.

I think this level of competition is one of the toughest meets in the world for Age-Groups and with the 2012 Olympics being held in London then the British swimmers are really focused on getting geared up for this meet.

Well done Dayna, We're all well proud of you.
