Jodie Hawksworth and Molly Renshaw swam their first international swims for Great Britain this morning at the European Junior Swimming Championships in Belgrade, Serbia.
Jodie Hawksworth was the first swimmer up for Great Britain in this competition and on her Internatioal debut showed she means business posting a personal best time of 33.25 in the heats of the 50m Breaststroke to qualify for tonights semi-final.
Molly Renshaw also on her debut swam her 400m Individual Medley also off to a flying start for the Derventio swimmers also posting a personal best time 4.53.99 to finish in 9th place overall (7th fastest with the 2 per nation rule!). Molly entered the championship in 10th position with a previous best of 4.55 in what has been considered a "fun" event for the Derventio star.
This is a great start to the competition, at International level it is all about getting out there and posting fast times in heat swims and the girls have done just that. The Finals and Semi-finals will be tonight at 17.00 hrs Serbian time which is 16.00 British time!
