It was an excellent day of racing for City of Glasgow members taking part in the Brodies Scottish Schools Championships at Tollcross on Saturday. Representing their individual schools, including the prestigious Glasgow School of Sport, the group returned 6 gold, 5 silver and 3 bronze medals, as well as a host of other excellent performances. Katie Shanahan and Mark Ford were both double gold medal winners as well as overall champions in the 15/16 years age group. Ford also set impressive meet records in both his swims while Shanahan did likewise in the 200 IM. Promising age grouper Ellyn MacPhee was also in great form in the 12/under section, capturing the 50 Breaststroke title in a new meet record and winning the overall top girl award for that category. Saskia Wade won the remaining gold medal by capturing the 13/14 years 100 Freestyle title, narrowly missing out on the meet record. A summary of the key results follows:
