BCU Southern Region Wavehopper Sprint event
Newbury, 15th November
After a couple of training sessions in appalling weather on Saturday, Riverside's Wavehopper team enjoyed a fabulous day at the races in Newbury in glorious sunshine on Sunday.
The event involved two 500 metre sprints down the millstream, under the bridge below the lock and millpond to the finishing line outside the Waterside Centre. They then had to paddle their boats back upstream against a strong current to the lock and portage them back up to the starting line for the next competitors to use.
Racing against 8 other teams from the Southern Region Riverside achieved 4th position overall. Everyone did really well with a special commendation to Jona for coming 3rd in the under 12s and Sophia for coming 4th in the under 14s. A brilliant result for their first race in Wavehoppers.
Team Wavehopper:
Kieran Husband
Jona Boender

Many thanks must go to the team, their parents and supporters and to the coaches who made this event possible.
