Shaw and Clegg on form in Dublin

Grampian swimmer Toni Shaw claimed her second medal of the World Para Swimming European Championships in Dublin on Wednesday 16th August.  The 15-year old secured a Silver medal in the Woman’s S9 100m butterfly to accompany her bronze medal won the previous day.  Shaw (University of Aberdeen Performance) touched in a time of 1:09.18 to set a new Scottish best and pick up her second medal of the Championships, all in what is her first event representing Great Britain.

Stephen Clegg broke the British S12 50m freestyle record twice in the same day, first as he won his morning heat and then later in the final of the event, clocking a time of 24.79 which meant he finished 5th overall.  City of Sunderland swimmer Clegg continued his record breaking form into day 4 of the competition, recording another British record in the S12 100m backstroke (1:01.46) and making sure he qualified quickest going into this evening’s final.
