Phoenix Rise to Title Honours
Essex Auto Group would like to congratulate all of Phoenix’s qualifiers for putting so much effort and hard work into this years swimming competitions.
Moving on to the Essex League. For the first time Phoenix were crowned Divisional Champions, winning the Division 2 title. After the disappointment last season of relegation from Division 1 on the last gala by such a small margin the swimmers bounced back with some stunning swims and a show of team solidarity. They have now moved back into the top flight and look forward to taking on some of the bigger teams in the County.
Regional Youth Championships saw three of the older swimmers qualify for the event which is for the top over 14 year old girls and over 15 year old boys. Tough qualifying times means that achieving qualification is a major achievement. Keri Stroud qualified for Regions for the first time to join experienced hands Samantha Mullender and Michael Grace. Michael came home consolidating his position as one of the fastest 16 year old freestylers in the region with a top 6 finish in the 100 freestyle event. Well done to all three of you.
Open galas have seen some great personal bests and many medals coming home to Phoenix showing the hard training has paid off.
We would also like to mention further success for two of Phoenix’s swimmers both Michael Grace and Kathryn Pearse as they have been selected to represent Essex at the Regional Inter-Counties gala in July well done.
