22.03.2008 - [ Birmingham girls break record ]
posted by Andy Jackson
The City of Birmingham female 4x100m Medley club team today broke the GB Club team record at the Birmingham Open.
The girls knocked a massive 4 seconds off the previous record set by Loughborough University.
Alex Hooper, Sophie Caul, Terri Dunning and Lauren Collins set an impressive new record of 4:03.63. The split times were:

ALEX HOOPER 1.01.83
SOPHIE CAUL 1.08.83
TERRI DUNNING 57.60
LAUREN COLLINS 55.37

In an electric atmosphere the expectant crowd brought the house down at the final touch. With the team always infront of the clock from the first leg the tension began to rise as Lauren Collins took to the water for the last leg nearly three seconds inside the required split times. Shrugging off recent form, she brought the team home to the delight of her team mates.

Peaking at personal best on each leg, the girls stormed to a win which delighted the excited spectators and sent 'sleepy Stechford' into hyperdrive.

Congratulations to the girls for an impressive performance. Credit too, to Adam Ruckwood and Carl Grosvenor for bringing on such a talented set of swimmers.
