The latest chapter in an impressive sequence of performances from Quinn Mosley came in the GB v France J16 Match at the London Docklands on July 12th in which he was selected in a team of 54 to represent Great Britain for the first time, in the Men’s single scull. The match is an annual fixture for J16 athletes from the two countries and is now in its 43rd year. The selection policy is generally for each crew to be selected from a single club.
After 14 races over a 1500 metre course in 30 degree heat the GB and France teams were tied on 7 wins apiece, with Quinn winning the Men’s 1x event and GB also winning in –
- Women’s 8+
- Men’s 8+
- Men’s 4+
- Women’s 2x
- Men’s 2-
- Women’s 2-
GB secured top spot by virtue of having the greater number of individual athletes in winning crews. More details here.
Quinn Mosley and coach Martin Tyler celebrate victory
Along with 11 other entries from Durham ARC Quinn will be entering the British Rowing Club Championships over the weekend of July 18th to 21st, an event in which he was victorious in record time last year in the J15 1x. Already this year he has won gold at the Junior Inter Regional Regatta and silver at the National Schools Regatta.
The future looks bright.
