Despite windy and sometimes wet conditions Chris McGrath and Reuben Crocker-Corlett achieved their best ever results at the North Island rowing championships boys under 16 double skulls at Lake Karapiro. After finishing second in their heat and fourth in the semi-final the boys gained a very creditable 7th position in the top 8 final.
Chris and Reuben have both been rowing for about two years. However, they only started to row together six months ago and have quickly forged a partnership which has the potential to go far. Having achieved such well-deserved success they are planning to do even better next season. Their aim is to make the top five and improve their time by 20 seconds.
Something tells me that with their dedication and ambition this is well within their capabilities.
