European Gold for Emma

Wednesday, 18 August 2010

Year 11 pupil Emma Saunders returned from the European Junior Swimming Championships in Helsinki with not one but a haul of four medals!

Emma stormed to a new Championship record as she claimed gold in the Girls' 50m Backstroke setting a new personal best time of 29.01 seconds and a British age group record at the same time.

Not content with taking the individual title, Emma also helped the Great Britain team scoop three silver medals in the 4x100m and 4x200m freestyle relays and the 100m medley relay, with personal best times in all distances she swam.
