St Mary's Calne
The U13A and B relay teams performed incredibly well at the Downe House Independent School Relays, competing against strong teams from CLC, St Swithun's, Queen Anne's, Downe House, Wycombe Abbey, and St George's Ascot, although luck wasn't on their side when it came to finishing positions. The U13 A team, consisting of Miya (LIV), Emilia (MIV), Octavia (MIV), and Bess (MIV), were narrowly touched out by three other teams in their Medley relay. The race was so close that it was difficult to determine the exact order of finish. A similar situation occurred in the Freestyle relay, which saw Charlotte P (LIV) replace Octavia in the team. Despite the close finishes, the team showed great promise for the future.
'U13 Swimmer of the Competition' was Charlotte P, who achieved excellent personal bests in both the Butterfly and Freestyle events.
The U15A and B relay teams also put in solid performances, with the U15 A team of Florence B (LV), Ava (UIV), Isabella (UIV), and Annabelle (UIV) demonstrating their excellent swimming skills to win both the Medley and Freestyle relays. Isabella earned a well-deserved personal best time in the 50m Freestyle.
In the overall results, combining the points from the U13A and U15A teams, the final standings were: 1st - Wycombe Abbey, 2nd - CLC, and a well-deserved 3rd place for St Mary’s Calne.
Congratulations to all swimmers!
