Three juniors from Maidstone Invicta Rowing Club represented Great Britain last weekend in Vichy, France. James Crumpton, Josh Pendry and Morgan Hellen took part in Le Coupe de la Jeunesse a European rowing match and came away 7 Gold Medals and one Bronze.
James, Josh and Morgan raced in the Mens Junior Eight winning Gold on the Saturday and Sunday racing. Morgan Hellen, who attends Oakwood Park Grammar School, also raced in the Mens Junior Coxed Four winning Gold on the Saturday and Bronze on Sunday. The eight won on both days by a clear 2 or 3 second victory and the Coxed Four winning by 5 seconds on Saturday. All three athletes help to assist Great Britain to win the overall trophy with France coming in second and Italy in third.
These are some of the best results Maidstone Invicta has seen on an international level together with 9 athletes winning Gold and Silver only two weekends ago for England. Well done to all the athletes involved and coaches and parents.
