Press report
Competition records (updated)
The clear winners of the Reg Baines trophy for the best visiting club were Chelmsford, with 161.5
points. Rochford (95) finished a comfortable second ahead of Clacton (59) and Braintree (45).
Not surprisingly, Chelmsford won both the girls' and boys' competitions, with 78 and 83.5 points
respectively; Rochford also took second place in both, with the boys (52) outscoring the girls (43).
Third places went to Clacton's girls (39) and First Strokes' boys (20.5).
Laura Stephens of Colchester won all her five races, breaking two records in the process, to win
the best girl award. Colchester swimmers Spencer Prior (who broke one record) and Cameron
Simpson (who broke three) both scored 29 points out of a maximum 30 so the best boy award was
decided on the "tie breaker" and went to Spencer as the youngest swimmer.
For the second year in a row, records tumbled across the board - including two of our
longest-standing records from 1997! In all, 9 Colchester swimmers broke records; apart from those
mentioned above, Ellie Tripp set three, Philippa Davenall and Jim Vickers both took two, and Jarrod
Bradfield, Sarah Larner and Sonny Trigg helped themselves to one each.

Colchester Open Meet 2010 - Press Report
Colchester Swimming Club, sponsored by Griffin Chapman, held its annual Open Meet on Saturday 29th May at Leisure World Colchester. It was a busy, noisy and exciting event
and the club greatly appreciates the help and commitment of the many volunteers who gave their time to help the day run smoothly, without them the competition couldn't have
happened. Thanks also extend to the many local businesses and individuals who gave their financial support to the event. Colchester fielded 102 swimmers and there were 8 visiting
swimming clubs adding to the competitive atmosphere. The swimmers were encouraged by the full spectator's gallery, packed with families and friends.
The clear winner of the 'Reg Baines Cup' for the top scoring visiting club was Chelmsford with 161.5 points followed by Rochford with 95 and Clacton-on-Sea with 59. Braintree (45)
narrowly claimed fourth from Witham (40), Harwich DP (35) and FirstStrokes (32.5).
 
Everyone was treated to some spectacular swimming, 16 records were broken, all by Colchester Club swimmers. At the end of the day the 'Best Girl Cup' was awarded to Colchester's
10-year-old Laura Stephens, who had won all 5 of her races breaking records in 2 of them; the 50m Butterfly & Backstroke. Colchester's 10-year-old Spencer Prior and 11-year-old
Cameron Simpson, closely competed for the 'Best Boy Cup', Prior was awarded the cup as the younger swimmer. They achieved equal scores both winning 4 out of their 5 races, Prior
breaking 1 record (50m Fly) and Simpson breaking a superb 3 (50m Fly & Breast and 100m Individual Medley).
The other Colchester record breakers this year were: 3 new records for 13 yr old Ellie Tripp in the 50m Fly & Breast and the 100m IM, 2 for 11yr old Philippa Davenall in the 50m Fly &
100m IM, 2 for 13yr old Jim Vickers in the 50m Back & 100m IM. 16yr old Sarah Larner won 3 out of 5 of her races and swam a new record in the 100m Back, 14 yr old Sonny Trigg
broke the record in the 100m Fly and 13 yr old Jarrod Bradfield broke the 50m Free record.
 
Record breaking is only one aspect of the event and does not do justice to the efforts of the many Colchester swimmers who gave their all to receive an award or a medal for being in
the top 6 places in each age group. Nor do the results do justice to those who did not receive awards but who swam their hearts out to cut precious seconds from their own previous
personal bests. Of particular note taking awards in the top 6 places in their age group;
Girls 9/10 yrs - Hannah Vickers, Elinor Duley and Sophie Marven
Girls 11 yrs - Lucy Coates, Chloe Rudkin, Martha Duley and Caitlin Sadler
Girls 12 yrs- Dolly Trigg, Alice Insull, Lydia Pearmain, Helena Wright, Charlotte Holt and Amarlie Perkins
Girls 13 yrs - Emily Stephens, Megan Boyden, Danielle Hall and Charlotte Head
Girls 14 yrs- Lauren Richardson, Katharine Insull, Joanne Illidge and Molly Huggins
Girls 15+ yrs- Grace Sanderson, Louise Jayne Watts, Paige Young, Sarah Purnell and Bronwyn Carter
Boys 9/10 yrs- Joseph Gallagher, Samuel Reeves, Thierry Ajala and Harry Chatterton
