IN-FORM Alan Wong claimed his third Dorset junior record in four weeks at the Swim Bournemouth Christmas Open Meet – and this time it was one of the oldest records in the book that fell.

The 15-year-old from Swim Bournemouth won the 15yrs 200m backstroke at Littledown in 2min 06.93sec.

The time knocked 2.5 seconds off the previous short-course mark, set by Jamie Wearn of Bournemouth Dolphins in 1994, three years before Wong was born.

Only one Dorset record has survived longer – the junior girls’ 50m butterfly record set by former British champion Sam Greenep (Ferndown Otters) in 1993.

Greenep also holds a 100m fly junior record from 1994 while Wearn still holds the junior 400m freestyle record from that year.

Former national age group champion Wong, who broke the junior 50m and 100m backstroke records while swimming for Dorset last month, won nine medals at Littledown including six golds.

“He’s on fire at the moment,” said Swim Bournemouth head coach Emma Richards.

Team-mate Matt Collins was Swim Bournemouth’s leading medal-winner, with nine golds and a bronze.

He also won the award for the top boy in his age group.

Team-mates Harriet Perfect and Abbie Quarrie each included five golds among their winnings while Izzy Pryce won four gold, two silver and a bronze.

Nine Swim Bournemouth swimmers won three gold medals each – Ella Bowman, Hannah Stonier, Jemma Green, Seb Chacin, Ethan Bell, Luke Roxburgh, Lucy Kirkham, Ellie Kerslake and Amy Brown.

Bethan O’Hara, 15, was Seagulls’ leading medal-taker with seven including five golds while brother Jacob was not far behind with four golds among his six medals.

Twelve-year-old Amy Mills broke three Seagulls club records on her way to two gold and two other medals.

Club records also fell to gold medal winners 11-year-old Anashe Chisadza (two) and Eve Goldsack, 15 – but Anashe also saw one of her old records fall to nine-year-old sister Nyasha in the 50m butterfly.

Other Seagulls gold medallists also included Emma Garland, 15, Maisie Gormley, 14, Zoe Gannaway, 13, and 11-year-old Joe Noyce.

Poole’s Noah Vides was the star of the men’s breaststroke events.

The 17-year-old former national age group medallist produced two of the swims of the weekend to win the 16/o 50 and 200m breaststroke in 31.01 and 2:33.54.

Poole claimed the first four places in the 11yrs boys’ 50m freestyle with gold going to Guy Selwood in 33.63, silver to Lloyd Arnold, bronze to Morgan Hiles and fourth place to Max Avery.

Hiles took his turn on the podium’s top step in the 11yrs 50m backstroke.

Other Poole winners were Nick Burovs in the 12yrs 50m breaststroke and Oliver Weston in the 13yrs 50m breaststroke.

Alesha Gibson, Holly Harris and Honor Davies led Bourne-mouth Collegiate School’s medal charge. Gibson’s five medals included gold in the 11yrs 100m backstroke and 400m freestyle.

Harris was first in the 9-10yrs 200m butterfly and 400m individual medley.

Davies won five medals including gold in the 11yrs 50m freestyle.

Other BCS medallists were Jacob Gibson, Claudia Ashford, Honor Davies and Poppaea Bramwell-Reeks.
