London HOR – great results for Queen’s Ladies!
The results are in for the Women’s HORR with two strong performances from Queen’s Ladies. The Intermediate VIII were 31st out of a field of almost 300 boats, and the 5th fastest university crew. The Novice VIII came 95th beating all other novice crews – an amazing performance given the crew have all been rowing for less than six months!
If the womens’ VIII was Intermediate, why were they rowing as ‘elite’ according tom the results?
It was a great sight seeing the A boat leaving Hammersmith Bridge rowing through four crews and disappearing into the distance towards Putney. Confusingly, both boats were listed as Elite in the draw. Congratulations!
Thanks for your query Ivan<o:p></o:p>Both Queen’s crews entered as ‘elite’ because overseas crews can only enter as elite, and Northern Ireland is perceived as being ‘overseas’ by the event organisers.<o:p></o:p>Posterous<o:p></o:p>From: Posterous [mailto:
