Hants & South Coast Invitation Gala - Haslemere - 29-01-2005

Farnham's Adenais is 'Top Girl'

Farnham Swimming Club took part in the Hants & South Cost Invitation Gala at the Herons Heslemere on 29th January 2005.

Twenty seven teams took part, with swimmers from clubs such as Locks Heath, Fareham, Winchester, Woking and Rushmoor, to name but a few. It was a great event with a fantastic atmosphere and there was certainly some tough competition.

Adenais Vachon was in great form for Farnham winning all three of her individual events with some outstanding personal best times. She went on to win the Top GIrl award in the 11 years age group.

Marco Astin came eighth overall in the 10 yrs age group after finishing eight in the 50m breastroke

Charotte Teague came in excellent second in the butterfly and 11th in the 50m backstroke, and finished ninth overall in the 9yrs age group.

Kieran Pickford also had some fine swims, coming fourth in the 50m butterfly and ninth in the 50m backstroke.

Sophie Hart, Lucy Evans and Rhys Davies all achieved personal best times.

The final event, the 4x50m freestyle relay, was a noisy affair and the Farnham team of Adenais Vachon, Lucy Evans, Marco Astin and Kieran Pickford did well to win their heat.
