Additional Information
For Westminster, the pinnacle of their season is National Schools. Their victory in the CH2x and CH4x was very, very special for the crew and coach and, when I briefly spoke with Cam Kerr, he emphasised the importance of National Schools to their season. It’ll be fascinating to see what additional speed Westminster have drawn out of their crew as they’ve chosen not to race at Reading or Marlow. Sam Meijer recorded possibly a first for a junior earlier in the season by finishing in the top 5 at the three major head events; Pairs Head [4th], Scullers Head [5th] and Fours Head [3rd in a composite with Imperial College BC]. I think Westminster will be quick and I’ll be interested to see if they’ve retained the necessary speed to compete with the likes of Borlase and Northwich. They have a very strong J16 contingent so the future is bright [their J16CH8+ has been pre-qualified for the Princess Elizabeth Challenge Cup]
My Prediction
Westminster just haven’t seemed to click at Henley over the past three years; they’ve had exceptional crews that haven’t made it past the Friday in the last two years. This year could be different though; the crew aren’t setting themselves any expectations but I feel they’ll have it tough to get past the Saturday, if they make it there.
