The Ashburton teens have wasted no time in getting among the medals at the New Zealand Short Course Swimming Championships in Hamilton, securing personal best results in the process.

And there could be more to come, with events wrapping up today.

A total of seven medals have been clinched by the Mid Canterbury pair over the past few days, with King (14) securing four bronzes while Middleton (17) has pocketed a silver and two bronzes.

Middleton’s silver medal in the 100 metre freestyle 17-18 age category on Wednesday has been the high point thus far as she claimed a personal best.

She then backed this display up with age group bronzes in the 400 metre and 50 metre freestyle events on Thursday.

King began her stretch with a personal best performance in the 1500 metre freestyle on Tuesday where she claimed bronze in the age 14 category.

She added to her haul with bronze medals in the 100 metre breaststroke, 400 metre individual medley and 200 metre breaststroke.

Ashburton Swim Team member Henry King has also been in action this week.

Both Hannah and Middleton are involved in the 200 metre freestyle this morning, with Henry tackling the 50 metre back stroke.

Hannah also lines up in the 200 metre individual medley to be contested just after 11am today.
