Bath’s Matthew Ward put his prowess on display en route to winning the men’s 200m IM.
The 19-year-old posted a time of 1:55.14 to get to the wall over 2 seconds ahead of the pack. A pair of Stirling teammates nabbed the minor medals, with David Annis snagging silver in 1:57.34 and George Smith bagging bronze in 1:58.17.
Lucy Hope got on the board via a victory in the women’s 200m free.
27-year-old Hope produced a time of 1:57.32 to narrowly defeat Grace Davison, 17, who settled for silver a hair back in 1:57.49. Stirling’s Katie Shanahan was also right there in the mix, putting up 1:57.61 for bronze.
