📣Final results 📣:

Nik & Fraser - 3rd Final B
Jemima & Polly - 7th Final C

And definitely not forgetting:

Cameron (Leander)- 4th Final A

The competition was literally best in the country.
✨️These results were especially incredible given:
🚣‍♀️ For Polly & Jemima it was their first race together
🚣‍♀️ Jemima, Mae, Fraser, Will had to race up 1 year
🚣‍♀️ Libby raced up 2 years
🚣‍♀️ for Cameron the difference between 2nd place and 4th place was 0.18 of a second

For all athletes to qualify for finals and to achieve 2 major finals they all did us so proud. It was the greatest number of athletes we’ve ever taken to this event and shows just how well the junior section is thriving.

Ball Cup South 10th May

Massive congratulations to our junior contingent who went medal hunting at the weekend and didn’t disappoint.
Due to the weather, side by side racing had to be abandoned and instead they reverted to time trials. Even so all great experience and all managed extremely well.

Our A final place finishers were:
Nik J16 1x first 🥇
Polly WJ18 2nd🥈
Lottie WJ18 4th
Mae WJ17 2nd 🥈
Polly & Jemima WJ18 2x 1st 🥇
Lottie & Darcey WJ18 2x 3rd 🥉
Poppy & Sibylla WJ15 2x 3rd 🥉
Poppy WJ15 1x 2nd 🥉
Jasmine WJ15 1x 4th
Will & Henry J18 2x 5th

Must say particular commiserations to Jasmine who was only 0.1 sec off a medal position and Lottie who was 0.7 seconds off. So close girls.
Thanks to our coaches, towers and parental support group who made the day such a great success.

HEAD RACE CANCELLED

Unfortunately due to the heavy rain yesterday the Environment Agency has issued a flood warning on our stretch of the River Nene which they do not anticipate will be lifted in time for our race tomorrow.

If you are in the area and fancy some soup or cakes tomorrow morning please drop in and help us avoid food waste and reduce our loss from the organising of the event. We will be open from 9am - 12 noon.

We are deeply disappointed to have to make this decision but hope competitors can understand.

We look forward to organising next years event.

Best wishes,

NRC Head Race Committee
