Commonwealth Games Medal For Local Swimmer

Ex-Lord Williams’s student, Simon Burnett, was just pipped at the post in the 200m Freestyle swimming event at Melbourne this morning.
Simon was beaten into silver medal position by only 9/100ths of a second, by his team mate, Ross Davenport.
The 21-year-old from Derby was in fourth place at halfway but moved up into second at the final turn. He then stormed down the final 50m to claim the gold in a time of 1:47.29 secs.
