Stockport Metro Mini-Meet Grand Prix Finals (Round 1)
21st June 2008
The first of the two Mini Meet finals was a fantastic night for Glossop ASC swimmers; in total they were awarded an impressive 5 silver and 4 bronze medals on the night.
The future of Glossop swimming is looking bright with young swimmers Adam Cooper and Luke Kearslake blazing a trail, in the 9 and under age category, for the older swimmers to follow. Adam had a fantastic night, showing consistency counts, coming 3rd in each of his races and bringing home three bronze medals. Luke also showed he could deliver the goods with an impressive silver medal in the 25m Free
Jessica Orobiej-Asher was as consistent as ever pushing the eventual winner to the line in each of her three events. Jess won three silver medals and achieved a number of very respectable times in the process.
Chloe Fletcher again showed that 50m Butterfly is her stroke achieving a new PB, and winning a silver medal in the process. Chloe swam a strong race, pushing the eventual winner right to the finish, being beaten by a finger nail at the pads.
Joe Mitchell proved, again, that breast stroke is not the slowest stroke in the 200 IM, pulling back three places in his heat to finish in overall bronze position on the night.
Well done to everyone who took part. All the swimmers should be proud of what they achieved on the night with many only just missing out on medals. Many PB’s fell on the night and this event proved what a strong, talented group of swimmers Glossop has.
The team is now looking forward to the final round on the 28th.
