YORK City Baths Club’s Samuel Pickup and Toby Mayfield secured ASANER winter qualifying times at the 2014 B Grade Meet hosted by City of Leeds Swimming Club, at John Charles Centre for Sport.
Alongside his ASANER QTs in the 400 metres and 200m freestyle, ten-year-old Pickup also gained two gold medals (200m freestyle and individual medley), two silvers (400m freestyle and 200m butterfly), bronze (400m IM), two fifth places (50m freestyle and butterfly) and seventh-placed place medal (200m breaststroke).
He registered five long course personal best times and five new times out of his 11events.
The ASANER time for Mayfield, also aged ten, in the 100m freestyle was the highlight after impressive performances that also secured him QTs for the annual winter Yorkshire competition in 50m freestyle, backstroke and butterfly.
He had a commendable haul of three gold medals (100m backstroke and butterfly, 50m backstroke), silver (100m freestyle), bronze (50m freestyle) and eighth-place medal (50m butterfly) and three PBs, plus four NTs.
Alex Neale, aged 11, gained her first two winter Yorkshire QTs (100m backstroke and freestyle) as well as clocking four PBs and two NTs out of her six entered events.
