Talent Academy spotlight: Jacob Clark 🌟

Jacob raced at the Junior Inter-Regional Regatta at the end of April.

Representing the East Midlands region, he and his double partner were the quickest in the time trial to gain a place in the A Final. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to convert it to a medal win, finishing 6th in a very tight final🚣

It is still such an incredible achievement, well done Jacob!👏
