Thomas Williams (4CM), 14, has been selected for the RYA GB National Junior Topper Squad and the Welsh National Topper Squad for the 09/10 season. Thomas gained these places after a busy summer attending the Topper nationals, World Championships in Austria and 5 nationwide competitions around the country. He came 3rd in the Welsh Youth Championships and 26th out of 350 boats at the National this year.

Being in the GB squad will require considerable commitment with residential training camps and a week-long squad camp in Hayling Island.
