No
doubt inspired by the outstanding performance of Calum Jarvis [19] in
the 200 Backstroke at the British Gas Swimming Championships held at
the Olympic Aquatic Centre in London earlier this week, Oliver Jarvis
[14] of Bodmin Dragons put in his own outstanding performances in the
Cornwall ASA County Championships winning the Junior County
Championships in the 50 Backstroke and the Junior County Championship
in the 100 backstroke, before completing the set by winning the
Junior County Championship in the 200 Backstroke on the Sunday 11th
March.
In the points competition taken over a maximum of 18 events
spread across 6 days, Oliver Jarvis was a worthy first for the 14
year old boys, after impressive performances in the Individual Medley
and Freestyle events as well as the Backstroke. Whilst Calum Jarvis
may yet secure a spot on the British Team for the 2012 London
Olympics, Oliver Jarvis’ turn may come in 2016 or 2020. Head Coach,
Simon Darbourne, was particularly impressed with Oliver’s winning
time of 1:03.52 for the 100 Backstroke in the Junior County
Championship.
