Caris Marsh reports on Wallingford Long Distance Sculls (Sat 29 September)
Four scullers from the squad (Sarah Cornick, Caris Marsh, Emily Piggott and Katie Taylor) competed in this early-season head race on our new home stretch in Wallingford.
In the first division all four competed in very competitive singles events. In WS3 Sarah came 2nd, clocking an impressive time of 17:43 with Emily (only 4 seconds behind at 17.47) in 4th place. Caris (also S3) was placed 7th in a time of 18.27. Katie, competing in women’s novice sculls, came 2nd in a time of 17.57 (a time that also would have placed her 5th in the S3 event).
In the second division the four teamed up and raced WS2 Quads. They dominated the event; winning by nearly 2 minutes and upsetting a fair number of school boys along the way! Their time of 14.32 placed them 16th overall, making them the fastest women’s crew of the day.
