British Rowing Junior Trials

February 26, 2010 on 4:29 pm | In 2009/2010-SPORT, Dorset

Anastasia Chitty and Alex Wilding took part in the Junior Rowing Trials on the Great Ouse, Lincolnshire in snowy conditions.

Anastasia sculled well in a highly competitive field of 56.
The Canford girl set out to achieve a place in the top ten so coming home in 6th more than fulfilled her ambitions for the day.

The following day Anastasia joined pair partner Sarah Lonergan to row the 5 kilometre course coming home in fine style in 2nd place. This is an encouraging performance for the sixteen year old who has carved a niche for herself amongst her older rivals for a place on this year’s British rowing teams.

Alex Wilding, one of Canford’s top boys, came home richer for the experience finishing 40th in single sculls and 36th in the coxless pair.
