The 2024 Junior Sculling Regatta was a roaring success for Team WinTech and King as our shells collected 27 medals including 11 golds. Held at Dorney Lake just 24 hours after Wallingford Regatta, the event provides ideal preparation for athletes ahead of the National Schools’ Regatta in just two weeks’ time.

Our first golds came in the women’s single events from junior 15 to junior 17. King’s School Ely took the WJ15 prize whilst City of Bristol claimed the WJ16 title and Hartpury College won WJ17, all in WinTech International shells. On the open side, we collected two silvers and a bronze in the equivalent events, courtesy of Exeter Rowing Club in the J15 category (silver), Tideway Scullers School in the J16 division (bronze) and City of Bristol Rowing Club in the J17 race. Our final singles medal came thanks to Nottinghamshire County Rowing Association, who finished third in the women’s junior 18 race.

We won gold in nearly every open double category except for junior 17. Marlow Rowing Club took the J14 win (in a race where we also won silver and bronze whilst riding with Maidenhead and Guildford respectively), Windsor Boys claimed the J15 title whilst their older team-mates won the J18 race in a WinTech Cobra. We also secured bronze in the same race, again via Windsor Boys in a Cobra. Our fourth gold came with Shanklin Sandown Rowing Club, who won the open junior 16 doubles whilst Bewl Bridge finished second (both in WinTechs). 

On the women’s side, we managed a silver in the J15 category alongside Nottinghamshire County Rowing Association (WinTech) plus a silver and bronze in the J16 final (Hartpury College and Sir William Perkins respectively). Royal Grammar School Worcester won gold in the J17 race (WinTech Cobra). 

In the quads, Henley Rowing Club won the open junior 14 coxed quad race (whilst Yarm School took the bronze) whilst Windsor Boys School collected yet another gold in the J16 coxless race. Lea Rowing Club won the bronze (all in WinTech shells). 

On the women’s side, we won a further three quad medals, including a brilliant one-two-three in the J15 coxed race. Great Marlow School took gold, ahead of Marlow Rowing Club in silver (both in WinTechs) whilst Headington School won the bronze (King). 

Our final medal came in the women’s junior 14 octuples, as Marlow Rowing Club collected a well-earned bronze. 

We were super excited to see such strong racing at junior level after a blockbuster weekend at Nottingham for BUCS Regatta. We’ll be bankside for all the major summer races and look forward to supporting all of our clubs and athletes.
