Of the fourteen boys who participated, some took part in a single event, others doubled up and four boys raced in three different races, competing for gold, silver and bronze medals. Results were impressive with twelve 1^st, six 2^nd and three 3^rd places, with others just finishing off the podium.

The highlight of the week was Michael Graham competing in the 500m. Earlier in the season he had broken the British Record in the 12 and under age category, but this time he went one better and set a new World Record with a time of 1:29.5s. This improved the WR by 0.6s, previously set in 2017 by an indoor rower from the USA. This formed part of a triple success for Michael.

Other notable performances came from Ben Evans securing three gold medals, while George Tonga’uiha and Max Roper both achieved two golds.

Overall, the boys should be proud of their achievements and have earned a well deserved break until after the holidays. Next term, the focus is on the National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships with a block of eight weeks training leading up to the championships.

It is not too late for boys to push for a place in the team but places are limited and regular attendance to training is essential.

Individual events range from Year 7 to Sixth Form and Junior (Yr7-9) and Senior (Yr10-13) team relays.
