THE newly formed Tavistock College Indoor Rowing Club competed at the College of St Mark and St John, Plymouth in the West region schools' champion-ships.

This is a superb achievement by a group that have only been rowing since January — to even qualify for this championship the athletes had to be within 15% of British Rowing Gold standard.

The winners of the groups are invited to the GB Rowing team quick start team. 

The team Will Hornby, Harry Birt, Anya Ansty, Tim Peaden, Georgina Cousins, Tara Twine and Fen Eastaugh all had hard races in their age groups all finishing high within their age groups as well as posting new personal bests. Outstanding results by Fen Eastaugh 14 out of 37 and Anya Ansty 13 out of 34 set the standard followed by the rest of the team.

Tavistock College Indoor Rowing Club is an after school club run on Monday at 3.20pm-4.20pm and supported by British Rowing, Tamar and Tavy and Caradon Gig Clubs.
