Harry Brightmore (U6SB) and Elizabeth Williams (U6ER) continued the tradition of King’s rowers gaining international representation this summer by qualifying and competing for the Welsh rowing team at this year’s Home Countries International Regatta in Strathclyde, Scotland.

Harry was able to secure the coxing seat in the coxed four. At the British National Championships the four rowed a high performance race to win gold and become British champions. A week later a slightly more disappointing row saw the four come in third at the International Regatta behind Ireland and England. Elizabeth Williams, Vice-Captain of KSRC in 2011 won a seat in the Welsh junior quad.

After a disappointing row at the National Championships the quad trained well in the build up to the regatta to secure a third place finish in Strathclyde. Elizabeth will be hoping to go one better in 2011-2012 as she sets her targets on a full GB vest and begins the process for qualification into the full GB team.
