Boston Rowing Club had two of its junior scullers compete and place for medals at this year’s Peterborough Junior Championships on Saturday.
The racing consisted of 1,000m four-lane races, where the young rowers first had to complete a time trial on the course which seeded them into groups.
Only the rowers from the time trial that earned a place in the final A group could win a medal and both Boston rowers put very strong times in to be in with a chance of securing one.
The conditions were very challenging with a strong wind blowing straight down the course whipping up some choppy conditions.
The club’s youngest competitor for the weekend was Archie Pattinson, from Spalding, who achieved a strong third place finish in the J13 single sculls category.
Representing the young women was Lucy Walker, who put in a tremendous effort and won a thirrd place finish in her closely contested WJ15 single sculls race.
- Boston Rowing Club has a growing junior squad, and the club looks forward to more successful events this year.
