New Ulster Junior Record for Larne Swim Team

Larne’s 14 – 15 years old boys’ Freestyle Relay team took Ulster by storm on Sunday 17th April when they competed in the Ulster Age Group Championships in Lisburn.

Conor Leaney, Shane Traill, Gavin Williamson and Wilson Logan made up the team and each swam exciting legs of the race to finish in 1st place – their closest rivals 6 seconds behind them.

Not only did they take 1st place, they set a new Ulster Age Group record and an Ulster Junior record. An impressive achievement for boys so young, as swimmers up to 18 years of age compete for the Ulster Junior title.

The record set in 1990 by Bangor was broken by the 16 – 18 years old team from City of Belfast in the event before Larne’s but not to be outdone, the Larne swim team certainly excelled when they pulled out all the stops and stormed home smashing rival City of Belfast’s time to set a new record of 1.42.80. A record which is sure to stand until they crack it again!
