Seventeen-year-old Lincoln swimmer Hayley Williams claimed two silver medals at an international competition last weekend.
Williams was called up to represent England at the WISE School Swimming International Competition in Dublin, Ireland from March 25 to 27.
She competed in the 100m and 200m Breaststroke, claiming two silver medals.
“I was thrilled with my performance and just so pleased that I had the opportunity to represent England again, and compete in Dublin,” Williams said.
She broke Olympic athlete Melanie Marshall’s Individual Medley record from 1999 by knocking nearly three seconds off and also took the 100 breast competition record by 8 seconds.
Williams has claimed a total of 16 gold medals and eight trophies in two of the four weekends of the Lincolnshire County Championships.
Hayley admits that it is a very busy time in her career at the moment. She said:
“It is busy, but exciting. After competing against the best in British Schools, I look forward to competing against the best at British Colleges”
Hayley is a member of the Lincolnshire Elite Athlete Programme (LEAP) for the second year running. LEAP is run by Lincolnshire Sports Partnership and helps to fund and support talented athletes in the county.

Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
