WeHorr 2025 (Womens head of the river race) Is one of the biggest events in the world for women's rowing with over 320 eights competing! We had two eights racing down the WeHorr track this year. It is a long head race (4 ¼ miles or 6.8Km) with changing conditions of stream, wind and the sun! Our girls raced hard, both boats over taking a few crews in their runs. First eight coming in 16th, second eight coming in 21st in the junior category.
Awesome racing for our crews and so incredible to see so many strong women racing on international women’s day!
We are delighted to confirm that Mia has been invited to the spring assessments, the next step in the GB trials process!
This will be a four day camp of racing with the top rowers in the country!
Congratulations Mia, what an achievement! We are all cheering you on.
We reported earlier in the year that Imi was invited to play in the U16 England Squad.
In the recent test against Ireland, Imi played in all three matches, in defence, and helped the team to three victories.
We are pleased to confirm that Adriana, Tara and Lola from Year 8 and Nancy in Year 7 represented Merton in the London Youth Games yesterday and made it to the final which is on the 23 Mar.
Best of luck to you all, we cannot wait to hear how you progress on finals day.
I competed in the English Championships last Friday. It was my first time competing in this prestigious national competition with the best gymnasts in England.
I placed 10th overall in the All Around for the whole of England (over 50 gymnasts) and I had the highest score overall for 2013 born gymnasts (which is the youngest age eligible to enter).
I was quite surprised considering I had a couple of falls, and I was still recovering from my sprained finger! My next competition will be the British Championships!
