A shout out to one of SCSC’s swimmers representing in Turkey earlier this year! This is a summary of her success via her Mum, thank you for sharing.

Back in April Lucy took part in the European Qualifiers in Cheltenham where she qualified for the championships.

Last week, in Turkey, Lucy was in the U17 Biathle final. With a strong field of 28 girls (of which some were nearly 2 years older than her) came a very respectable 12 place.

The Biathle consists of an 800m run 200m swim and then another 800m run. She had a strong start putting her in a good position going into the swim, where she over took 2 or 3 girls, then onto the final run. As she was about 50m out another GBR girl went to over take her but Lucy was determined not to let this happen and she had a sprint finish to maintain the 12th position.

Many thanks to you all who coach Lucy.
