StASSA 2012 Trials Gala
4th March 2012 - Final results can be found here.
The winner of the St Albans District Primary Schools Trial Gala cup for 2012, awarded for the best
performance at the 2012 Trials Gala, went to Katialin Dang of Wood End, Harpenden. Katialin won all year 6 girls events, 3 all in record times: Freestyle (bettered by 1.37s), Breaststroke (bettered by 1.47s) and Backstroke (bettered by 1.23s). Well done Katialin. The full ranking and methodology is included below.
Thank you to all the swimmers who participated in the gala. We saw some excellent swims and personal best times. We also saw 4 of the 16 events swum in records times. Particular standout efforts came from:
- Timothy Hughes - winner of all 4 year 5 boys events, one in record time (Breaststroke: bettered by .04s)
- Ben Muckleston - winner of 3 Year 6 boys events
- Juliet Arnold - winner of 3 Year 5 girls events
We thank all the officials and helpers who gave up their time to make this gala such a successful one.
For those swimmers who provided their ASA number, the results will be posted to the National ASA times database shortly. If you wish to view the ASA national ranking database click here.
We would love to hear any feedback on this years gala - good or bad. Please e-mail me direct on [email protected].
We plan to select the team during the coming week and will e-mail those swimmers who have been succesful.
Hope to see you again next year.

Trials Gala cup 2012
- The winner of the cup is generally that swimmer in their 2 best events had a better overall combined difference from Herts County qualification times than any other swimmer. The best 2 events must be both winning events. Where a swimmer had more than 2 winning events then the 2 best events (relative to the Herts qual times) are used.
- The Herts county qualification times used are: 10 years for Year 5's and 11 years for Year 6's (the qualification times for counties are set at 25th March and are used to approximate 1/2 way through the school year (Sept to Aug))
- It has to be recognised that this methodology is not completely foolproof and the committee will use the performances over all events as a guide in the event of the 1st and 2nd places are close.
- The Herts County qualification times are used as this currently is the best method to equalise the swimmers across years and boys/girls.
- The scores for the 2012 Trial Gala Cup assessment were:
1st Katialin Dang -29.4%
2nd Ben Muckleston -20.3%
3rd Timothy Hughes -18.0%
4th Juliet Arnold -12.4%
