Scot Champs

Scot Champs (2- 4th June)

At the start of June ASRA travelled down to Glasgow with a total of 50 athletes to compete at the Scottish Championships, where the weekend took place with a rare show of fantastic hot weather, still water and sunshine at Strathclyde Park. Glasgow being the hottest place in the UK that weekend, clocking in at highs of 25 degrees: a temperature not often faced by the athletes in Aberdeen. Medals were won at all age groups with some very impressive and exciting racing across the two days. A highlight of the weekend included Lottie M and Ines DK winning gold in the WJ14 2x in a very impressive and dominant performance that only got stronger throughout the race and through each round. Another impressive performance came from our J18 girls who put a stamp on the WJ18 4- event, never giving their opposition from The Glasgow Academy the chance to catch them to win gold and the ‘B” four from ASRA also pushing the 4- from TGA from behind to come in bronze. On the boys side, our dominant J18 boys once again put in an impressive display, winning the J18 hat-trick - J18 pairs, coxed and coxless fours across the weekend. Murray and Magnus decided that that wasn’t quite enough for them though, putting in a big fight right to the line against one of our own ASRA FPs - Xander Beeson from Glasgow University - to also win Open Pairs. Overall, a fantastic weekend had by all, well done! Full list of medals below:
