Molly Renshaw was tonight crowned British International Open Champion when she took victory in the 200m Breaststroke in a season's best time of 2.28.25. This was the 16 year old European Junior Gold medalist's first Domestic Gold medal, although she has been at the top of the country's Breaststroke talent since 2011. Molly fought hard and really enjoyed the race! Well Done Molly! Molly has also achieved the selection consideration time for the World Junior Championships which take place in the summer, and will wait to hear if she has been successful later in the year.
