Miley swims to gold in Indy 400m IM

4 Mar 2017

Hannah Miley and Abbie Wood headed the top two spots of the podium on day two of the Pro Swim Series in Indianapolis after a close finish in the Women’s 400m Individual Medley.

Miley just shaded the finish from youngster Wood as a combined British squad of 41 added a further six medals – two of them gold – on day two in the U.S.

Olympic medallists James Guy, Duncan Scott and Stephen Milne took all three spots on the podium in the Men’s 200m Freestyle but it was Guy who eventually took top honours in another close fought finish.

Max Litchfield impressed with a good performance in the Men’s 400m IM to take bronze ahead of his brother Joe in fourth.

The British squad of 41 features a combination of podium and podium potential athletes as they continue a racing strategy in preparation for the British Swimming Championships in Sheffield (18-23 April), where titles and selection to this year’s international events including the World Championships will be fought for.

Many of the younger athletes were involved in B finals on day two. Nathan Hughes won gold in the Men’s 400m IM and Amy Bell took the silver in the women’s event.

Rosie Rudin and Brodie Williams won silvers in the Women’s and Men’s 200m Backstroke respectively, Harriett Cooper earned silver in the Women’s 50m Freestyle and Jazz Carlin and Tim Shuttleworth won gold in the 200m Freestyle events.
