Gala Report: Ickle People Meet, 13th June 2010
This is a great Meet for Junior Squad members (13 and under): it is friendly and fun and offers a really good range of events on one day. Twenty-six Fox Hollies swimmers participated this year with some doing all ten races. Behaviour and morale were great and there were some really excellent swims.
At the Ickle People the first eight swimmers in each event win points for themselves and their club, with first place gaining 8 points, second 7 points, etc. After a very strong showing from our team we were delighted to be placed fifth out of twenty in the Club ranking. In the Top Boy ranking Daniel Higgins came fifth overall. Shannon Fox was eighth and Abbie Cooke tenth in the Top Girl ranking.
There were a huge number of PBs and many of the youngest swimmers set really good benchmarks for themselves. All in all it was a great day out!
