Kelsie Gibson, Morgan Hellen and Tim Grant have all been selected to represent Great Britain. Kelsie Gibson was selected in the LTA Coxed Four on Saturday for the World Rowing Championships in New Zealand.
Kelsie at only 17 was selected on Saturday to represent Great Britain in the adaptive LTA Coxed Four. Kelsie’s selection makes her the club’s most successful athlete at an international level. She has represented Great Britain twice earlier this year in the Varese International Regatta and Rowing World Cup in Bled winning 3 Gold Medals in May.
The crew hopes to build on the success in May and continue to win Gold in New Zealand in November. The results over the few months confirm that London 2012 is a real prospect.
Morgan Hellen represented Great Britain at the World Junior Championships in Racice, Czech Republic in the Junior Mens Eight earlier this month. The crew battled hard and came 5th overall. In the last 500m they overhauled the Czech Republic and took 5th place in 5:47.18. The USA took the Gold with Germany and Italy in Silver and Bronze respectively.
Tim Grant raced at the European Championships, Le Coupe de la Jeunesse, in the Junior Mens Eight in Hazewinkel, Belgium. The crew won Gold on the Saturday and Silver on the Sunday. A fantastic result for the crew and ensured that Great Britain won the Boy’s team trophy and came 2nd overall. Tim will trial once again next season to represent Great Britain as a junior with hopefully even greater success to come.
