Chippenham ASC Support the British Gas ASA National County Team Championships
The British Gas ASA National County Team Championships took place at Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield on the 16th October 2011. The event is based around the 33 English Counties from the 8 ASA Regions, the 4 Administrative Districts of Scotland and 2 of Wales making a total of 39 'Counties' competing across two divisions. Individual selection for each County Team is based on National Rankings calculated after the regional competitions held earlier in the summer.
Matt Hare was Chippenham ASC's only representative on the Wiltshire County Team this year and competed in the Individual 100m Fly and 4x50m Medley Team (50m Fly). Matt won his 100m Fly heat finishing 11th in the division and 28th fastest in Great Britain for his age group on the day. His medley team finished 6th in the division and 19th fastest in Great Britain - Matt's Fly time was 24th fastest across all Division 1 & 2 Teams.
Wiltshire put in a strong performance leading division 2 for the first few races finishing 10th in division 2 at the end of the Championships. Selection for the 2012 Championships will take place next summer based on National Rankings at that time. Chippenham ASC looks forward to supporting the County Team again next year.
