Results for the 3000/6000 Postal National Championships have been finalized. There were 19 swimmers from our LMSC who participated in at least one of the postal events, including four stalwarts who did both events. Shirley Loftus-Charley won both events in her age group in convincing fashion; Adam Barley and Craig Charley also won national championship titles. Two other swimmers who deserve special recognition for competing in both postal events: Jenny de Hart and Ellen Marks.
Finally — swimming in an unofficial capacity — Amy Charley, Shirley Loftus-Charley, Craig Charley, and Terry Loftus combined for a very impressive 3K family relay with a combined time of 2:38.30.35. There can’t be too many families in the country who are able (or willing!) to do that.
Congratulations to all who participated. The full results for our LMSC are shown in the table below.
