Devon Champs Tiv/Ply 2008

The annual Devon County Championships began brightly at Tiverton with a contingent of Devonport swimmers making the journey. Highlights included Ryan Moreno-Chamorro (15yrs) taking a bronze medal in his age group for the 200m breaststroke. Bethany Ward (9yrs) also made the final of the 200m backstroke and took 4th spot (3.36.79).

Attention switched to Central Park for the next weekends racing. Ryan Moreno-Chamorro matched his previous performance with a 3rd place in the 50m breaststroke. Nat Chartres (14yrs) clinched 5th place in the same event. Tom Mermagen (15yrs) earned himself a place in the 100m IM final taking 6th place. Devonport had several swimmers with qualifying times for these championships demonstrating their rate of improvement.

Thanks for this go to chief coach Terry Mansell for his dedication and skills in developing this squad. The county championships continue throughout February and March. Good luck Devonport!
