National Arena League Round 1
08 Oct 2022
Team Saxon travelled around London to get to Hatfield to compete in the first round of the National Arena League. We were competing against 5 teams we had not met in previous competitions; Bishops Stortford SC, Hoddesdon SC, Harpenden SC, Hertford SC and Hillingdon SC.
The gala ran through the 42 events quite quickly and team Saxon swam consistently in all events. Our swimmers produced some very good swims and PBs keeping us in the top 3 throughout the event and finishing in 2nd place at the end of the night.
Well done swimmers for such an achievement! Congratulations to our 8 first places: Alex Lin in 50 backstroke, Ayotunde Dauda in 100 breaststroke, Harry Gibb in 50 fly and 50 free, Paris Fairhurst 100 backstroke, Orla Renny in 50 Breaststroke, Maisie Van der Ploeg in 100 fly and 100 free.
Thank you to parents who cheered loudly from the gallery and helped in car/bus sharing.
Thanks also to organisers and officials and everyone involved in making this event such as success.
