Additional Information
Despite having no big names in terms of athletes, Hundermark has produced a very strong crew that appears to be gaining speed. Toby Thomas and George Patterson have received invites to GB Final Trials and the crew narrowly missed out on the Championship Eight final at National Schools. They didn’t race at Marlow despite entering but word is that they’ve gained speed since National Schools. Hundermark’s distinctive technique has begun to show in Shrewsbury’s style and he’ll be hoping to produce strong results at Henley. Having won the Princess Elizabeth twice with Abingdon School, AH knows how to win at that level and his crew look pretty strong. They have a strong J16 contingent so watch out for them in the next few years.
My Prediction
Although Shrewsbury probably aren’t a potential winner of the competition, I can see them challenging a few of the top eights. I think the Friday would be a good achievement for these guys as they have the potential to upset a few established crews.
