Bronze and Top-5 Finish for our Students at British Rowing Championships
The British Rowing Championships, the pinnacle event of the rowing season, delivered an exciting weekend of competition as young athletes from across the UK showcased their skills on the water. The championships, held annually in summer, saw standout performances from local athletes, in particular, sisters Ellie H and Hettie H, who had standout performances in their age categories.
On the opening day, Ellie H and her partner, Eve took part in the highly anticipated WJ16 Pairs event. After a day of intense racing, the pair earned a spot in the A final, where they clinched a fantastic bronze medal. They finished behind two strong crews, including one that travelled all the way from Gibraltar, making their podium finish even more impressive.
Just two days later, attention shifted to the WJ14 Quads, where Hettie and her crew faced a fiercely competitive field of over 40 teams. The quad raced through the rounds, eventually securing a place in the A final. In a race dominated by a crew from Scotland, Hettie's team achieved a commendable fifth place, finishing ahead of their local rivals Henley, who came in sixth.
The British Rowing Championships once again highlighted the strength of young talent at St Clement Danes. Well done to Eve and Hettie for their hard work and determination.
