Rebecca makes Olympic team

ROTHERHAM’S Rebecca Turner made it a one-two for the town last night when she qualified for this summer’s Olympics.

The 19-year-old former Wickersley School pupil usurped Olympic and world medalists to claim a confident 200metres freestyle victory and book her spot on the GB team.

She moved from fourth to first on the final length to relegate fastest qualifier and former world, European and Commonwealth medallist Caitlin McClatchey to second in a personal best well within the qualification time.

Turner's City of Sheffield team-mate Eleanor Faulkner picked up her second bronze medal of the British Gas Swimming Championships after third in the 400m freestyle while Jo Jackson was fourth in a final missing Rebecca Adlington, who withdrew earlier in the week to concentrate on her 800m.

On Sunday, Rotherham's Joe Roebuck also made the cut for the Games in the 400m IM.
