The J15 eights both delivered
outstanding performances, advancing to the A-Finals—a first for Wimbledon! The
J15 second eight finished 5th in their time trial, while
the J15 first eight came 2nd. This alone is a remarkable achievement! The
second eight gave their all in the final, finishing 6th and becoming the 6th
fastest second eight in the country. Congratulations to Arabella, Breanna,
Sophia, Katerine, Josephine, Aarabe, Bhairvi, Zara, and Anaya! The first eight
fought a tough race with a strong start, solid middle, and epic sprint,
securing 3rd place just 1.2 seconds ahead of Putney. Well
done to Florence, Alex, Iona, Emily, Charlotte, Ashlyn, Zoe, Emma, and Clemmie.
The J16 eight gave it their all in the time trial, just missing out on the A-final but refocusing for the B-final later. They delivered a strong, focused race, finishing 2nd and becoming the 8th fastest J16 boat in the country. Great work Scarlett, Immy, Mia B, Elodie, Ruby, Iris, Jemima, Hannah and Eleanor!
Our senior pair, finished 15th in a competitive field and moving into the C-final. The C-final was a nail-biter, with all boats within 10 seconds of each other. Our pair put on a gutsy performance, making early moves, and pushing to the line, ultimately finishing 6th. Well done to our seniors Mia P and Fran!
The J14 coxed quad faced tough competition this year, with 47 crews competing for only 24 places in the finals. The girls in the quad gave a strong performance in their time trial but narrowly missed a final spot by just 1.9 seconds, making them the fastest non-qualifying crew. We're very proud of the quad, which showed a lot of grit this week, especially with a change in crew due to injury/illness and having Amy Wright from J13 step up. Well done to Stroke: Cassia, Carolina, Amy, Bow: Jess, and Cox: Millie! The Octo had a great time trial, beating some stiff competition in the J14 1st Octos and coming in 5th. This result placed them in the A-final, a fantastic achievement in itself! The A-final was tough, but our girls gave it their all and finished 6th in the country. Well done to Bow: Stella, Connie, Hannah, Emma, Caitlin, Grace, Immy, Stroke: Juliet, and Cox!
