June 5, 2017 By William Shorter

City of Cardiff International Level One Meet 26 – 28 May 2017

A total of over 50 COSC swimmers headed for Cardiff last week-end, for a 3-day marathon of long course high adrenaline racing. 330 events were swum, leading to numerous finals and a solid medal tally for our club, considering the high number of  withdrawals due to injury and exams.

Cardiff International

The age groups split made this event very tough, divided into two categories: 14 and under, and 15 and over. With the exceptional calibre and volume of competitors being present at this international meet, it was difficult to reach a final unless you were in the sweet spot of being 14, or a seasoned adult swimmer! City of Oxford swimmers weren’t phased and performed well at this event, achieving five gold medals in the 50, 100 and 200m free style (Chris Currie), 200m breaststroke (Natasha Fenton) and 100m breaststroke (Safiya Sillah), one silver medal in the 100m freestyle (Max Bolcato) and three bronze medals in the 50m freestyle (Ellie Millington), 400m IM (George Rudd) and 200m breaststroke (Callum Smart).

But Cardiff was in fact a crucial meet for a lot of our swimmers simply chasing a last minute long course PB; it was the final opportunity to climb up the rankings to access the sought-after top 24 British and top 20 English, guaranteeing a spot at Nationals for this summer! Fingers crossed for them all as we stare at the rankings website for a few days to see what the rest of the country has been up to this last weekend of the qualifying window.

 

Here is a short breakdown of results, with highlights on finalists and medalists:

Finalists: 45 (top 10 finish in prelims or direct finals like 400s/ 800 & 1500)

Another one! Brilliant from @RossMurdoch_ @UofSSwim , he finishes 2nd in the 200m breaststroke but more importantly, his time of 2:08.98 is inside the consideration time for Tokyo 🎉. A big effort too from @TMackayChampion he completes his race in 2:22.00. #BSST21
