Sport Trinity pupil shines in the pool in Scottish event
Pictured is Keagan Guest (13), who is making waves in the sporting world after becoming the fifth fastest in his age group at a recent Scottish National Open Swimming Championship.
The teenage swimming star, a pupil at Trinity Academy in Thorne, was among the top performers at the event, finishing the 100-metre breaststroke in a time of 1.24.86.
He was also placed a respectable 35th overall, out of 71 competitors at the event in Glasgow.
Keagan said: "I've been into swimming for as long as I can remember. I was pleased with my performance at the Scottish National Championships, especially as the standard of the competition was so high and now I just want to keep getting better."
Keagan has also recently competed in several events at the North Eastern Counties regional championships in Sheffield and won a bronze medal in the 50m breaststroke at a county championship event.
Ian Brew, the principal of Trinity Academy, said: "Keagan is an extremely talented young swimmer and we're proud to be associated with his excellent performances in the pool.
"At just 13 years old he clearly has a bright future ahead of him and we look forward to seeing his ability develop further over time."
In the future Keagan, a member of Doncaster DARTES and a Thorne swimming club, hopes to forge a career out of his talent and he doesn't plan on resting any time soon, with with another A/B Gala event coming up at Shipley. (17-07-07 SU)
