British Rowing Awards
British Rowing announced the winners of their national awards ceremony yesterday evening, and we are thrilled to share that our 21-22 Senior Men's Coxed Four was named University Crew of the Year.
A big congratulations to Florence Chadwick, David Casson, Ben Newton, AJ Coates and Will Lock for this well-deserved recognition.
Last year, this crew achieved remarkable success thanks to dedication, support, and a rental boat. However, looking to the future, renting boats is not a sustainable option for the club. This is why we are reaching out to ask for help in the purchase of a new Men's IV+.
The purchase of a Mens IV+ and Women's VIII+ is a vital step in our plan to continue building on past years success and push the boundaries of rowing performance at York.
