Competing for Great Britain at the LEN European Aquatics Championships (10-23 May 21), in Budapest, it was an event to remember for Accounting and Business Student Lucy, who is on course to graduate this summer.
The first of her Gold Medal wins came in the 100m freestyle relay as part of the first ever British team to win this event at the European champions. Not only did the team set a new British Record (3:34.17), Lucy’s superb lead-off leg broke the Scottish 100m freestyle record (53.89).
Further Gold medals followed for Lucy as she swam as part of the 4 x 200m freestyle finalist team and the 4 x 200m mixed and 4 x 100m mixed heat team.
We wanted to get as close to winning as we could, but we didn’t expect to break the British Record. On a personal level it was fantastic to beat the Scottish 100m freestyle record and help the team secure the gold medal
Lucy's tremendous performance at the European Championships has helped secure her place on TeamGB for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics as part of the 4 x 100m relay team.
