ANGIE Winstanley-Smith, of Sedgefield ASC, won one gold and three silver medals at the North-East Counties ASA Kell-oggs Frosties age group championship gala at Sheffield.

Winstanley-Smith had more than six seconds to spare over runner-up Kim Orwin, of Rotherham Metro, in winning the girls' 15 years 200 metres backstroke. Winstanley-Smith then came second to Claire Windeatt, of Kingston upon Hull, in the 100 freestyle.

Less than half an hour later the Sedgefield girl was back in the water in the final of the 100 breaststroke, this time finishing second to Holly Davis (Kingston upon Hull). Her third silver came in the 50 freestyle later that day, second again to Windeatt.

Two other Sedgefield swimmers made finals. Natasha Raisbeck was seventh in the girls' 12 years 100 freestyle and Mark Richardson was seventh in the boys' 15 years 100 breaststroke.
