2nd Week Devon Champs and the medal success story continues.
DRSA presented 7 swimmers who had secured the challenging entry times for the county’s premier meet: Jordan Nicholson, Victoria Philpott, Rachel and Bethany Ward, Dan Crook, Finlay Bowden and Rhiannon Davies. All swimmers competed strongly with the majority enjoying personal best times. Jordan, Dan, Finlay and Rhiannon also negotiated their way to the county age-group finals. The platinum performance surely goes to the men’s team captain Jordan. Not only has he led the club squad to league promotion as champions this season but on Sunday gained a well earned silver medal in the 16+over 200 Backstroke final. Rhiannon ensured further DRSA success with a bronze in the 10 year old 200 backstroke. Dan Crook nearly doubled his personal medal tally when he came a close 4th in the 100 BRS. Finlay made his second county final but on this occasion had a technical glitch on a backstroke turn.
Also well done to our second claim swimmers: Connor Andrews and Sinead Davies who are currently in PL’s performance squads. They claimed gold in the 200BRS and 100BK respectively. This breadth of success is a real testament to Terry Mansell’s long-term commitment to high quality development coaching.
