On Friday 28th March, as the winners for the regional rounds, Amy in 9RT and Evan in 9BC represented Birchwood Community High School in the National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships at the Copperbox Arena in London.
Competing against schools from all over the country, Amy came 16th out of the 179 Year 9 Girls who took part and Evan finished 21st out of the 220 Year 9 boys, both managing to beat their current personal bests, an absolutely amazing achievement.
In the team relay, Warrington Schools Year 9 Girls finished 10th overall out of 97 teams taking part. Again, a great score to be proud of.
The Warrington and Merseyside schools travelled together by train to the event and watched the exciting National Final with Plymouth Amateur Rowing Club just managing to hold on to the title for another year. Everyone had a fantastic day arriving home on Friday evening exhausted but proud and happy.
