Westholme pupils, Lucy and Megan Davis have been accepted onto the Level 3 England Talent Development Squad following their outstanding success at the ASA National Championships.  Their achievements are listed below:

200m Back Crawl – Silver Medal

400m Freestyle – Bronze Medal

Lucy was runner-up in the overall championship and was awarded the silver plate which means she is 2nd in the whole country!  By achieving this, she was awarded a Kellogg’s Future Champions training fee award.

 

Megan Davis – Year 10

Meg was in a double age bracket at the ASA Nationals which meant she had to compete against swimmers who were a year older than her.  She still managed to come away with two medals!  Meg also gained nine national qualifying times.

400 Individual Medley – Bronze Medal

200m Freestyle – Bronze Medal

 

Megan also participated in the UK School Games early in September as part of the England Team.  She competed against other teams from Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland where she won the following medals:
