PONDS FORGE, Sheffield, England, Aug. 7. CITY of Sheffield swimmer Debbie Hall clinched the most exciting victory of the day as the ASA National Youth and ASA Championships drew to a close.
Hall, 17, won the women's open 200-meter breaststroke final on the last day of the Championships after edging out Glasgow's Rebecca Hillis by just .06 of a second.
"I'm really pleased with that finish,” Hall said. “I wanted to win it and I was determined to win it. This victory means such a lot to me. I was up against some tough opponents, but all my hard work has paid off. It was special to win it in front of my home crowd too. I had great support inside the arena today."
Hall won the 100-meter breaststroke event earlier in the week, and has also secured three silver medals.
