New J18 Mixed 100,000m Record
Posted by Concept2 News on the 20th of July 2004
Carlton-le-Willows School in Gedling, Nottingham broke the 100,000m Team Mixed J18 record recently, just nine months after the school took up the sport. Chasing Wycliffe College's time of 6:15:16, they were nearly three-quarters of an hour inside that mark, setting a new record time of 5:37:39. English teacher and squad mentor Roger Jeffries said: Everyone is absolutely exhausted. We had to nurse them through the last 6,000m because they were so drained. Even I'm exhausted, emotionally and mentally, but I'm extremely proud of them.For more team records: http://www.therowingcompany.com/racing/records_team.php
