You’d be hard-pressed to find an elite competition’s 400m IM final void of Scottish swimmer Hannah Miley and now the 28-year-old is headed for potential national history. Miley, who calls the Aberdeen Sports Village Aquatics Centre her training home with her dad doubling as coach, will be looking to become the first Scot ever to win 3 consecutive Commonwealth Games titles across any sport.
The 2018 British Universities & Colleges Sport Championships swimming competition kicked off in Ponds Forge today, with the men’s and women’s distance events setting the tone for the 3-day meet. Loughborough won both the short course and long course championships in 2017 and will look to dominate once again, unless Edinburgh, Stirling or another lurking force can engage its depth and scrape enough points together to dethrone the reigning champs.
Several of the key English swimmers have already earned Commonwealth Games qualifying marks at previous selection meets, but for those not yet officially on the roster the Swim England National Winter Championships serves as a last chance meet of sorts. Aimee Willmott of the University Stirling took full advantage of the opportunity to race healthy, registering a winning 400m IM time of 4:36.89 to punch her ticket to Australia.
