I am not sure on all the results but Jessica Lloyd (1995) swam 55.81 100FR & 26.11 50FR in Sunderland, GB.
ReplyDeleteGood stepping up by her!
And Missy Franklin! God help the rest in 2012!
Also Amelia Maughan (1996) who you mentioned on a previous post swam 56.51 at the burns meet, and as far as i know was in training, totally unrested! Good signs!
You're definitely right to bring up Jessica Lloyd's swim last weekend. Her 55.81 puts her 4th in Britain over the last 12 months. She is definitely one to look out for when it comes to the 4 x 100m Free relay. Fran Halsall and Amy Smith are probably locks for the individual spots at this stage. We've got a good group of young sprinters at the moment with Lloyd (95), Amelia Maughan (96), Emma Saunders (94) and Lucy Ellis (93).
ReplyDeleteThe Sunderland meet (Canada's junior team v England Talent (U19 squad) v England North) has it's results here - http://www.swimnortheast.org.uk/results/2011/trimeet.
Missy Franklin might just turn into the female Phelps in London. She can do everything.
Matt Targett at Victorian States, Australia. 22.60 and 49.66 back in business
ReplyDeleteEllen Gandy also at victoria states, 27.06, 58.78 & 2.08.02! Good early showing from the youngster!
ReplyDeleteAnd Also Tash Waitzer a decent 31.50 50brst in Victoria!
