The Swim England Open Water National Age Group Championships is the premiere competition for young open water swimmers in England and this summer it was held in Thrybergh Country Park, Rotherham. Having taken Silver in the 16 year age group at the Swim England East Region Open Water competition back in July in her first ever 5km open water race, BSSC’s Meisha Trend-Evans gained automatic qualification for the national race. In a 5km event where the finest young open water swimmers in the country and future Olympians hone their skills, she finished 12th in her age group with a personal best time.
Meisha has been selected for the East Region Triathlon academy which is the first stage of the British Triathlon World Class Performance Pathway, and regularly competes in the National Super Series. Her superb National Open Water result and academy performances have qualified her to represent the East Region in the Triathlon events at the School Games National Finals being held at Loughborough University early September.
