Winning Henley Women’s Regatta was never something I truly believed I would achieve. Yet this weekend, that dream became a reality. Over the past year, I have balanced being a full-time university student, moving clubs, training everyday, and working two jobs as well as volunteering on the universities boat club committee. Moments like this don’t happen by chance. They are built through the sacrifices made every single day when no one is watching. Winning Henley Women’s Regatta is a memory I will cherish forever. I am eternally grateful for my support system who have seen me on good days, bad days and even worse days. I couldn’t get through even a week in my life without the people around me. 290 Aspirational Club 4 Coxless Fours The Lester Trophy 2026 🏆
