The President of Swim England Hertfordshire, Jane O’Brien, recently presented seven Bishop’s Stortford Swimming Club athletes with the overall Top Swimmer awards they won for outstanding performances across multiple events at the 2024 Hertfordshire County Championships. To be eligible for the award, swimmers had to compete and earn points in events in five different categories, showing prowess across all distances (50m, 100m, 200m & 400m+) and all strokes (e.g. 200m Individual Medley). The total points (1st place 15 points, 2nd 12 points, 3rd 10 points etc) were added up and awards given to the top 8 in each age and gender group.
Molly Greatbatch was the top female swimmer in the County in the 14 years age group, whilst sister Ella Greatbatch (16 years) and Dylan Davenport (15 years) were second in their age groups. Noah Conroy, BSSC’s youngest award winner, was 3rd in the 12 years age group whilst Elliot Hall (14 years), Brandon MacDonald-Williams (16 years) and Jakey Hayes (17/Over) were all 4th in their age groups. This is a fantastic achievement by all swimmers and we look forward to seeing what else they can achieve during the rest of this season.
