Wednesday 18 May 2011
From Jack Warner about his first Elmbridge Sprints !
Tuesday 17 May 2011
Although the squad was depleted due to forth coming exams Max and Elliot performed exceptionally well.
The event commenced with the time trials over 200m and 500m .Max came second out of all the 15 and under C1's in both trials even though he is 2 years younger than the winner Richard Buckley of Richmond. Elliot came 3rd in the 200m and 4th in the 500m.
Max did 1.05 and 2.43 respectively and Elliot did 1.09 and.2.48
In the head to head races saw a race of 6 C1's start the C1 500m event. Many watched in anticipation of carnage but all the athletes showed great skill and the out come was a very clean and close race .Max came out of the blocks fastest , but was overhauled by Richard of Richmond who just beat Max by less than a length with Elliot less than a length behind Max in 3rd place.
200m head to head races were set with the fasted 3 racing each other followed by the next fastest in the following race.
This meant a head to head with Richard , Max and Elliot. The race started with Max again fastest out the blocks but Elliot showed again what a great racer he is by over coming all with a fantastic win with Max just behind Richard.
Well done to the boys !

John , Gabor and myself realise that as long as the guys keep up the training it will only be a matter of time until we are beaten by the boys!
Marcus and his Richmond crew will trying to reverse the results in the coming races especially the nationals in July and September Macgregor paddle events so let’s disappoint him again
Congratulations to all the boys- keep up the training !
