Danielle Lowe Closes Out Irish Nationals With Six Wins

DUBLIN, Ireland, April 27. DANIELLE Lowe wrapped up the Irish Long Course Nationals Championships with six individual victories, while several other swimmers recorded multiple wins over the final two nights of action as the meet came to a conclusion Sunday night at the National Aquatic Centre in Dublin.

On Saturday, Melanie Houghton held her number one spot in the women’s 100 free final, demolishing the field with a 57.06. Bethany Carson finished more than a second behind in 58.23, while Jess Stallard rounded out the top three in 58.25. On the men’s side, Curtis Coulter zoomed by the rest of the final heat to take the win in 50.78, well under his third-place qualifying time of 51.32 and better than Danas Rapsys (51.11) and Jordan Sloan (51.21).

Fiona Doyle earned her second win of the meet with a convincing victory in the women’s 100 breast. Doyle hit the wall in 1:09.97, just off her semifinal time of 1:09.63. Niamh Killgallen finished a distant second in 1:12.31, while Dearbhail McNamara came in third at 1:12.93.

Thirteen-year-old Antoinette Neamt, winner of the 200 free and 800 free on night one, completed the freestyle triple after winning the 400 free in 4:19.03. Rachel Bethel, 14, came in second in 4:22.76 while Therese Corry claimed third in 4:27.85. The men’s 400 free turned into an exciting race between Andrew Meegan and Brendan Hyland.
