Wallingford Long Distance Sculling Head

HMSGRC set off at 6.45am on Saturday for their first away race of the year.  A long day was to follow with the girls competing in two divisions in a variety of boats from Single Sculls to Quads. 

The 1st division consisted of single scullers and 3 double sculls.  The J16 Double of Emily and Lara put in a winning performance picking up first place and followed in by Charlotte and Emma in 3rd place.  Molly also put in a creditable performance in the J15 Single sculls coming in 6th against some tough competition including 4 other HMSG girls.

Charlotte was our fastest sculler of the day, coming 6th in the J16 1X but Emma was in close pursuit only 8 seconds behind.  Holly also put in one of her best single performances and finished 9th in her category against some of the top junior talent from around the country.  The J15 Quad of Molly, Amelia, Charlotte, Carys and Felicity made it a back to back win for HMSGRC as we also won this race last year.

Some really good performances were seen on the day and it sets a marker for the training for the rest of the winter.
