PRESS RELEASE

InCAS swim club had an outstanding weekend at the final weekend of the East Districts Age group swim held at the Fife Institute in Glenrothes on Saturday /Sunday 7th/8th March.

12yr old Rachel O'Donnell had a superb weekend to win another 2 Gold’s 1 Bronze and a 4th place in the girls 12/13yrs old age group. Rachel’s Gold’s came in the 100m Freestyle in a superb time of 1.00.95, a Scottish and East District Record Age Group Record. Her second Gold came in the 100m Butterfly once again in an outstanding time of 1,06.68, another Scottish and East District age group record and a qualifying time for the British Age Groups in July. Rachel’s Bronze came in the 100m Breaststroke in an excellent 1.18.27 with her 4th place in the 100m Backstroke in 1.09.62. Rachel although still only twelve was Top Female for her age group and received that award with next year still to come.

The same age group saw Chelsea Lawson, who turned 13yrs on the Sunday, have an outstanding swim in the 100m Backstroke on the Saturday when she was still 12yrs old and broke the East District age group record in a time of 1.07.79, another British qualifying time with team mate 13yr old Samantha MacMillan finishing in 3rd place, also in a British qualifying time of 1.08.93, also finishing in 4th place in the 100m Butterfly in 1.09.20.

Probably the outstanding race of the weekend saw 15yr old Roisin Donnelly win the Gold in the girls 14/15yrs 100m Breaststroke in an outstanding time of 1.11.98 - a massive lifetime best and now puts Roisin 2nd in the British rankings. Roisin also finished in 5th place in the 100m Butterfly final and if she had managed to repeat her heat time of 1.05.51 would have won silver but just couldn't.

The girls 12yrs Medley Team of Laura Kate O'Brien, Erin Brown, Rachel O'Donnell and Jennifer Milligan won the Bronze also winning a Bronze in the 4x50m F/C relay. The girls 13/14yrs age Group saw a very exciting race with three teams going to the front but the InCAS team of Chelsea Lawson, Ailidh Brown, Samantha MacMillan and Kayleigh Hutton hang on for the Gold.

Altogether five Gold’s, 5 Bronze, 13 Finalists, 23 PB's, 3 East District records and 1 Scottish Age group record. Although InCAS are relatively a small club they still managed to finish in 3rd place in the East of Scotland.
