The group came away with two wins in the M8+ and the W8+. This is a particularly exiting achievement and marks the end of a great season for our athletes. 🏅🚣‍♀️

Congratulations to Laura on winning a silver medal in the mixed 2x with Sam Scrimgeour (Glasgow Rowing Club) at the European Beach Sprints Championships in Gdańsk, Poland! 🥈🌟 This was one of Laura’s final races representing Glasgow University Boat Club and we can safely say that her hard work and dedication over the past four years has paid off, and now as a graduate, the sky’s the limit.
