Ones to watch at HWR 2025?

Last year, Leicester RC’s Eleanor Gough raced in a junior quad at HWR, following in the wake of clubmate Lauren Henry – who won Olympic gold at Paris 2024 in the quadruple sculls.

A year on from being pleased to qualify in a regional quad, Eleanor teamed up with Lizzie Websiter in double. With Lauren Henry’s former coach Howard Marsh guiding them every stroke of the way, this young crew have got a ‘big summer’ planned.

UPDATE: Eleanor and Lizzie won Aspirational double sculls at HWR 2025!
