Oz medals for swimmer Hannah

6:48pm Tuesday 6th May 2008

A MALDONIAN swimmer travelled half-way around the world to represent her country - and came back carrying a clutch of medals.

Hannah Ueckerman, who swims for the Witham Dolphins Masters' Club, returned from the World Masters' Swimming Championships in Perth, Australia, with three medals and a personal best to boot.

Swimming breaststroke in the 45 and above age-group, Ueckerman took silver in the 200 metres, notching up her fastest ever time in the process.

Against a tough field, she also brought back a bronze from the 100m breaststroke and came a creditable seventh place in the 50m event as well.
