Other finalists were Katie Towers, Caitlyn Hamilton, Abbigail McArthur and Mia Rae.

After the meet, Lanark ASC coach Karen Kelly said: “Evi swam very well to win two medals at her debut Districts but more importantly it was the quality of the swims she had.

“Millie can always be relied on to put scores on the board for the club.

“Ross and Cameron had terrific results throughout the weekend. Cameron has battled back from illness recently and can be proud of his efforts.”
