<br />
In the 200m Breaststroke final, she finished incredibly fast down the last 50m to overhaul her competitors to win her second Gold of the meet in a time of 2:32.87.<br />
<br />
“To get the gold in the 200m Breaststroke was so great because it’s my favourite event,” she said.<br />
<br />
<br />
Less than an hour later, Abbie was just 0.14 seconds shy of claiming a third gold in two days as she touched second in the 200m Individual Medley final. She lowered her personal best by two seconds to set a 2:19.46 but after turning last at 100m and fourth at 150m, she couldn’t quite haul in Hungary’s Greta Szilvasi (2:19.32) in the dash for the wall.<br />
<br />
“It was a very close race and I came back strong on my breaststroke but it was just not quite enough.”<br />
<br />
Her final race of the day was in the Mixed 4 x 100m Medley Relay where, with Abbie swimming the Breaststroke leg in a 1:12.99 Brs split, the Great Britain team just missed out on the medals for a 4th place finish.<br />

<span style="color: black;">Competition for the team was immense with only 16 places up for grabs on this small but select team. British Age Group record holder Abbie gained selection for this event by achieving the selection criteria in both the 200m Breaststroke in which she also finished 6th in the Senior category and in the 400m Individual Medley at the British Gas International Open in Leeds earlier this year.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Her coach Kim Hill says "I am very proud of Abbie. She is a great girl with a tremendous amount of competitive spirit. She always works hard and handled the pressure situation of the selection meet well. I know she is now looking forward to the challenge of racing swimmers from around Europe, as well as meeting new teammates, she has a busy schedule but that is the way she likes it being in the thick of the action".</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Abbie has an exciting summer ahead, straight after she gets back from the European Youth Olympics she will have a few days to refocus and recharge and will be off to Sheffield for the National Age Group Championships, where she will join with her Derventio teammates to compete in individual and relay events. Then it will be off on a well earnt holiday.</span>Kim Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12226314838442694728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4277093052637525909.post-51754432628308153002013-07-02T10:49:00.000+01:002013-07-02T13:04:41.554+01:00DX at British Gas Swimming Championships<span style="color: black;">Last week 6 of Derventio eXcel swim squad's 7 British Championship qualifiers took part in the prestigious championships held at Ponds Forge in Sheffield over 5 days.</span><br />

<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Molly Renshaw won a Silver medal in the Women's 200m Breaststroke breaking the National Age group Records twice in the process. Molly posted a time that narrowly missed the World Championship qualifying time by less than a second, but has shown that she is still up their fighting at the top of the British rankings. This swim also put Molly for the 4th time inside the selection criteria for the World Junior Championships since March.. Molly also competed in the 50m and finished 10th in the 100m Breaststroke and 200m I.M.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Sarah Vasey was also on record breaking form in qualifying for her 1st British Championships final. Sarah posted personal best times in the heats, semi-finals and final of the 50m Breaststroke breaking the Derbyshire Senior and Junior records twice at only 16 years old to finish 6th! Sarah, who's focus is in the National Youth Championships in July also competed in the 100m Breaststroke posting near her personal best time.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Kane Haggett was the 3rd DX swimmer in finals action at these championships progressing to 7th place in the 50m Free in a time just .15 off his best time. Kane later in the week also qualified for the semi-finals of the 100m Free finishing 14th.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">One of the you gets competitions in the whole competition was just turned 14 year old Imogen Clark. Imogen gained valuable experience racing next to some of Britian's 2012 Olympians, and showing this didn't phase her qualified in a personal best time for the semi-final and finishing 12th, improving on her rankings from the heats. Imogen is now looking forward to the National Age Group Championships which start 3 weeks tomorrow back in Sheffield.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is with much disappointment that Edward has decided to
take a break from swimming. Edward has always enjoyed his time at DX whether he
was racing well or not, and always enjoyed the training and being with the other
swimmers, which I am sure he will miss very much.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
As parents, we believe that DX has been a very positive
experience for Edward, giving him some very valuable life skills, which will be
hugely beneficial in years to come. We are very proud to have been part of DX,
and feel really privileged to have been involved which such a professionally run
organisation, and being there to witness some fantastic swimming achievements,
and also making many friends along the way.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
We would like to say a sincere ‘Thank You’ to everyone at DX,
the committee, coaches, swimmers and their parents, and wish everyone all the
very best for the future. We are still prepared to help out with future DX
events where our working patterns permit, and we’ll all continue to follow the
success of the DX swimmers.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Imogen was in the 50m Breaststroke and was looking to go faster in the final. Imogen did just that and smashed her personal best time to go 33.26 seconds and came 2nd!! Stepping up in the final is a crucial racing skill that Imogen has been working on and she did it!!</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Next up and last but certainly not least Kane swam in his first ever Senior 100m Freestyle final and finished in 6th place!!</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">DX swimmers from the British Open are now going to be in a hard training phase and gearing up for the British Championships in June, and National Championships in July, whilst also awaiting confirmation on selection for National teams!!</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Well Done Swimmers....lets get back to work!!</span>Kim Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12226314838442694728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4277093052637525909.post-51121869003692194042013-03-10T22:00:00.000+00:002013-03-28T14:23:02.253+00:00British International Open - Final day - more DX Finals!<span style="color: black;">Sunday was the final day of the British International Open in Leeds and led to more finals by Derventio swimmers.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Kane Haggett cruised through the heats in a strong finishing swim in the 100m Freestyle to make his first senior 100m Free final later that day.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Imogen Clark swam a personal best time in the heats of the 50m Breast to qualify second fastest for the Junior final and with a long glide on the finish will be looking to improve on her time again tonight.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Sarah Vasey attacked the 1 length Breaststroke sprint and posted a time ever so slightly off her best time, which is looking promising with an uniterupted training block down to the British Championships in June.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Jodie Hawksworth competing in her third event of the championships was outside her best time in the heats.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Kevin Wallbank swam in his last event of the championships in the 200m I.M, but was just outside his best time.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
