29 Juniors to race for GB Rowing Team in Munich
The GB Rowing Team are taking a squad of 29 junior rowers to Germany tomorrow to compete in 20 races this weekend at the Munich Junior Regatta.
Several members of the squad already have international experience, with a number of them competing in last year鈥檚 Coupe de la Jeunesse in Lucerne, Switzerland. Arthur Doyle of St Paul鈥檚 School RC and Chetan Chauhan-Sims of Emanuel School RC were double medallists in the junior men鈥檚 four, Eton College鈥檚 Charlie Thurston and Evesham RC鈥檚 Liam Tustin were also double medallists in the junior men鈥檚 eight, Sam Meijer of Westminster was a double medallist in the quadruple scull and Nottingham RC鈥檚 Rowan Law competed in the single scull.
Nottingham RC, Marlow RC and St Paul鈥檚 School are the biggest contributors to the squad, with each club having three rowers selected. Eton College, Evesham RC and Sir William Borlase鈥檚 Grammar School have all had two rowers selected for the squad.
Charlotte Hodgkins-Byrne of Gloucester Hartpury RC will be hoping to emulate the success had by her older sister Mathilda at the GB Senior Team Trials in April, where she finished third in the women鈥檚 single scull 鈥楤鈥 final.
Nottingham RC鈥檚 Kyra Edwards is racing in the junior women鈥檚 four, and is the only member of the squad that is an athlete in the GB Rowing Start programme, although a number of others are supported by the programme.
Saskia Budgett of the Tideway Scullers School will be racing with Edwards in the four, and will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of her father, Richard, who won a gold medal in the men鈥檚 coxed four at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Speaking before the Munich Regatta, Richard Boulton, GB Rowing Team Lead Coach for Juniors, said; 鈥淭he standard should be extremely high this year, possibly even higher than usual, with a number of teams preparing themselves for the European Junior Championships later this month鈥.
