Newbury pair claim BAGCAT awards with a spate of personal best performances

NEWBURY Swimming Club's Zara Ryan and Millie Pope (pictured) secured coveted BAGCAT awards in a successful final weekend of the 2011 South East Regional Swim Championships at Crawley.

Zara Ryan's string of performances clinched the 12-year old age group with a points total of 2365 while her club-mate was a creditable seventh with 1494 points in her first season competing at this level.

Millie Pope swam a succession of personal bests, starting by blitzing four seconds from her 100m freestyle time in 1:11.63 to finish seventh in her age group. She then took three seconds off her 200m freestyle time in the heats stage in a time of 2:33.66 and knocked a further 1.22 seconds off her best in the final to finish fifth in 2.32.44.

Newbury swimmers will be in action at Northcroft on Saturday for the club's annual Open meet.
