British Championships - Day 4

First up this morning was Emily Allsopp in the opening heat of the day. A time of 30.81 in the 50m Backstroke places her into the Semi-Finals where she will be looking to drop under her PB of 30.74 tonight.

Hannah Jones followed on in the 200m Fly with a new PB of 2:22.88 - a fantastic result after the dissappointment of the 100m Fly on the first day of the championships. With some hard work on skills and underwater kicking, this should see Hannah drop down to under 2:20 within the year.

James Lovatt, in the 200m IM, takes the 2nd reserve spot for the Semi-Finals with a 2:07.81. His opening 50m of 26.0 was the 2nd fastest out of all 36 competitors and his 100m split of 57.5 was 4th quickest. However, a last 50m of 31. 6 meant he drifted just out of contention for a second swim tonight.

At the end of the morning heats were a series of Time Trials (licesned at Level 1) open to all British Championships competitors. 3 DX swimmers took the opportunity to post a fast time in another event.

Molly Renshaw took almost 2 seconds off her 200m IM PB, swimming all alone in the pool to a 2:25.96 and with it, a 50m Fly PB of 31.56.

Harry Webster (50m Breaststroke 32.72) and Emily Allsopp (100m Backstroke 1:05.97) both swam to seasons best times.
