Preston Seals Storm to Victory in Home Gala

Preston Seals team secured victory over Colne, Carnforth and Blackpool in the Micro League fixture at West View Leisure centre.

The girls got Preston off to a flyer with the 12/under girls' 25m medley team of Tess Collis, Katie Armes, Hannah Callon and Emily Armstrong posting the first points on the board, quickly followed by 9/under team of Gabrielle Parker, Cara Jones, Hannah Miller and Georgia Holding with the 10/under Samantha Collier, Amelia Smith, Georgina Bowker and Rebecca Ward adding to the fine start for the girls before 11/under Rebekah Luff, Olivia Armes, Olivia John-Haslam and Jessica Monks made it a clean sweep for the relay teams.

Not to be outdone, the boys' 10/under team of Benan Mawdsley, Morgan Gilmore, Etienne Meagher and Karol Nejimski and the 11/under team of Joshua Morgan, Thomas Boulton, Chris Jones and Jack Hughes also gained top marks in the boys' relay races.

In the individual events, Hannah Miller got the Seals off to a great start when she finished first in the 9/under 25m freestyle, then Hannah Callon powered home in the 12/under 50m Butterfly in a new Seals Record time of 38.13, beating the original record that was set in 2004, Raees Patel won the equivalent race for the boys. Sarah Rosbottom stepped up to the mark to seal first place in the 10/under 50m Backstroke followed by Jessica Monks who gained her 2nd win of the day in the 11/under 50m Butterfly. Not to be outdone Jack Hughes matched that feat in the boys' event, again recording his 2nd victory of the day.

Georgina Bowker then set a new Seals record beating the one set in 2000 when she came home 1st in the 10/under 50m Butterfly, and the girls' success continued when Jasmine Coulthurst took to the pool in the 11/under 50m freestyle finishing in top spot with Jack Hughes adding to his days' success when he secured his 3rd win in the boys' 11/under 50m Freestyle.
With the scores almost neck and neck Rebekah Luff for the girls and Morgan Gilmore for the boys both won their 11/under breaststroke events in brilliant fashion to hand the initiative back to Preston while Tess Collis extended the lead when she finished 1st in the 12/under 50m backstroke.
