 On the 23rd - 24th October members of the Wrekin College Swimming & Triathlon Club attended the 7th Chase Roebuck Open Meet held at Stafford. The aim of this weekend at Chase and last weekend at Lincoln Vulcans was to give our swimmers race practice, but you can see from their results that they are all in fine form, with all of them competing well by producing many PB's and medels along the way.
Swim of the day at Chase was the clash between the two sisters Sophia and Zohra. They had to battle it out fighting next to each other in the 200M Breaststroke where older sister Zohra got the touch by two tenths of a second.
