The medal was won by the Junior women’s team in the K1 (kayak single) race in a time of 289.28 seconds, which consisted of Hannah Burgess, Alice Spencer and Claire Kimberley. Well done to the team!
Other key results include, 20 year old Lizzie Neave in the women’s U23 K1 event who raced a calculated semi final run to place 3rd and made the final, but faced with some superb runs from her opponents she was unable to match it and had to settle for 5th place. A brilliant performance again from Lizzie as she prepares to go to the Worlds next month.
Congratulations to the team for some truly memorable racing!
