Small Boats Star at BUCS Regatta
Medals in Women’s Intermediate Single and Men’s Intermediate Lightweight Pair highlight hectic weekend for GUBC
HOLME PIERREPONT, NOTTINGHAM – It was a busy weekend for Glasgow University Boat Club at the BUCS Regatta as successes from across the club were topped off with medal successes for a few athletes.
While exams, placement and national team commitments stopped the BUCS Head winning four from competing together at the Regatta, Laura McKenzie was able to continue her medal-winning form as she finished third in the Women’s Intermediate Single.
The men’s side also produce successes as the Men’s Intermediate Coxed Four ‘A’ crew picked up eighth overall in the category, but the major successes came from the lightweight men. Ethan Matthews narrowly missed the A Final in the Men’s Championship Lightweight Single and Archie Innes finished tenth in the Intermediate equivalent, but the two combined in the Men’s Intermediate Lightweight Pair to win a silver medal.
The Beginner group also performed well, highlighted by the Women’s Beginner Coxed Four who – despite a late minute crew change – finished in eight place after a dramatic finish which took them to within inches of winning the B Final.
There were also successes within the open club group as Xander Beeson and Matthew Hughson picked up seventh place in both the Men’s Intermediate Pair and Men’s Intermediate Double while wearing Strathclyde colours.
