Team WinTech provided yet another resounding statement as to why we are so often the choice of champions with a category win in the W1x, 2nd place in the M1x and numerous top-25 finishes at the GBRT U19 Early ID Trials. Around 25% of athletes across both events elected to row in WinTech Racing Boats.

Catherine Gardner of Hartpury College – a silver medallist at the 2024 National Schools’ Regatta and U19 World Rowing Championships – won the girl’s category by a stunning 30 seconds to cement herself as the country’s premier female sculler. After a fantastic season as a J17, Gardner will likely have her eyes set firmly on both domestic and international triumphs, and her row in Boston came in a WinTech International. 

Other highlights on the women’s side included Olivia Hodgson of Royal Grammar School Worcester, who finished 21st; Amy Clarke of Sir William Borlase Grammar School, who finished 23rd; Maddie MacGregor of Sir William Perkins School, who finished 25th and Lowri Cawdell, of Marlow Rowing Club who finished 26th. 

On the men’s side, we had four finishers inside the top ten, with our highest-placed athlete – Joe Wellington of the Windsor Boys School – coming home second overall in a WinTech Cobra SE. Wellington was an integral part of the Mark Wilkinson-coached quad that won both the National Schools’ Regatta and The Fawley Challenge Cup during the 23/24 season. 

Behind him, Elam Hughes of St Edward’s School placed sixth, Henry Day Clark of Shiplake College was eighth and Isaac Thornton of the Windsor Boys School finished ninth. 

Alexander Judd of Wycliffe College placed 14th overall, slightly ahead of George Coates of Hartpury College, who was 16th. His teammate, Louis Sheasby, was 19th before the Windsor Boys School’s Adam Elliot finished 23rd to land three of their scullers into the top 25. 

With 12 athletes finishing across the top 50 male and female athletes and around 25% of athletes choosing to compete in our boats, Team WinTech is once again pitching at the very highest level. We look forward to continuing to support these athletes over the coming months and hopefully seeing many of them take to the water at the Fours Head of the River in a few days.
