Scott Davison, Masters rep, reports on a successful weekend for the COSSS Masters at the annual South Yorkshire Masters competition.
The annual SYM competition organised by Philip Johnson is always a rich hunting ground for medals, especially for those of us not talented enough to win at nationals. This enjoyable, lower-key event packs a lot of events into one session, so most swimmers have to be careful not to enter too many for fear of underperforming. However Andrew Wycherley decided to forgo that convention and entered 7 and came away with 3 golds, 2 silvers and 2 bronzes. Simon Kerrigan on the other hand was "pure gold", with 3 individual and one team gold. Rob Hyde also won 3 individual and one team gold, with an especially impressive 61sec 100IM.
The mens 160+ freestyle relay team came home well in front in 49.67- scorcher!
