‘Good Luck Adam’ – Peaty Europe Bound For GB!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adam Peaty Heads out to Belguim this Sunday to Compete for Great Britian in the European Junior Championships is Antwerp. Adam Competes in the 50/100/ and 200m breastroke over the 5 day competition. Additionally if Adam can submerge as the fastest Brit he could get a spot in the 4 x100m Relay. Adam joined the club in early 2009 and finished that year 15th in the Region for his age. Since joining Adam has gone from 15th in the Region to the UK’s fastests 50/100/200m breastroker for his age,  and additionally a double English age group record holder. Adam has been training 9 times each week + 3 land sessions in preparation for the EJNR champs and hopes the training will stand him in good stead to take on the rest of Europe. Adam will have some fierce GB competition to get past first through in the prelims, racing Craig Benson who has just qualified for London 2012. One of the youngest in his age group however time is very much on the side of the 17 year old and this first step of the international ladder should give him great foundations for him to excel further into the Senior Ranks!!!

Adam you have been positive through every challenge, you have been committed at every stage and its a Proud moment for me, your family and your club…. Go Get Em Derby Style!!!!

Adam races this Wed, Fri + Sat!! I will keep you posted on how he gets on!!
