There was triple joy for the Hare family after the diving trio all medalled at Sunday’s Waltham Forest Pool & Track London Region Novice Open.

Siblings Sam, Jamie and Miren all put in impressive performances as their efforts saw them all climb on to the podium at the event.

Miren, 16, finished third in her age group while brother Jamie, 11, matched the achievement in the Level Two category.

The Mill Hill youngsters’ hat-trick was completed by Sam whose fine display saw him take top spot in his competition.

Also competing in the Level Two sector, the nine-year-old’s strong performance earned him the gold medal – the first time he has claimed the top prize and in just his third competition.

It completed a fine day of competition for the Barnet Copthall competitors.
