Simply the best
Thursday, 20th May 1999.
A young quartet of Haverhill swimmers stormed to two records at the Midland District relay championships.
Swimming under the banner of the new West Suffolk club, the 11 - 12 years girls relay team of Dawn Jason, Carly Edwards, Isobel Craig and Sally Morton saw off all-comers to win both and freestyle and medley relays.
And both were in championship-best times of 2 min 2.16 sec and 2:19.62 respectively.
The 15 - 16 years medley relay team of Sarah Boyd, Kitty Craig, Haley Brown and Katie Pearson were fourth (2:11.51).

Danielle Jackowski was the other West Suffolk medalist, winning a bronze in the 17 - 19 years backstroke (33.49).
There were near misses for Kitty Craig, 15 - years breaststroke (36.34), Edwards, 12 - years (35.54) and Andrew Jason, 15 - years breaststroke (33.52), who all finished fourth.
