Our other medallists for the day were the Open Girls 4 x 50m Relay team of Varlee Nihill, Ella Downing, Telani Bibby and Layla Day. The girls raced exceptionally well, finishing third in a very close race. The team were also pipped by a few hundredths of a second for third place in the Open Girls 4 x 50m Medley Relay.
