The Newnham College Boat Club 1st VII crew of 2018-19 have been shortlisted for the University Crew of the Year at the British Rowing Awards.
This award is for university crews with outstanding achievements in the 2019 calendar year, or over the course of the 2018/19 season.
NCBC Captain Jasmine Wells said “Newnham are delighted with this national acknowledgement of the great work our rowers, coaches and cox do. Rowing is a great community within Newnham, fostering support between the MCR and the JCR. I’ve loved my time being captain and I look forwards to many more years of success for NCBC and the Griffins.”
Crews can be nominated for their achievements over a successful year of racing, and for notable achievements of other kinds, such as having faced and overcome adversity.
Jo Burch, President of the Roll and herself a former member of NCBC, responded “This is fabulous news and so well-deserved – a wonderful achievement.”
