What a weekend for James! Racing as a senior swimmer for the very first time, James became 400m individual medley (IM) senior champion at the Southwest Winter Regionals in Millfield.
A Senior Debut to Remember
The senior category is open to swimmers aged 16 and over, so James stepped up to face older and more experienced competition. He rose to the challenge brilliantly, taking a regional title on his first outing at this level.
Medals and Personal Bests
On top of his 400IM win, James also took third place in two more events. Even better, he swam a personal best (PB) in every race.
Here’s how his weekend went:
- 400m individual medley: 1st place, senior champion, PB
- 200m individual medley: 3rd place, PB
- 100m butterfly: 3rd place, PB
Hard Work Paying Off
Three PBs in one competition reflect the hours of training James puts in, both in the pool and beyond. His results at the Southwest Winter Regionals show exactly what that commitment can achieve.
Everyone at Exeter School is proud of James. Congratulations on a fantastic start to our senior swimming career!
