The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race sponsored by Xchanging

Tobias enrolled to study Modern Languages in 2005 but decided to concentrate solely on his studies in his first year. Having now decided to try out rowing, Tobias could potentially emulate his Great Uncle Kenneth Garnett who was a Boat Race winner with Cambridge in 1914 but who then died during the First World War. Previously, Tobias has won gold at the Coupe de La Jeunesse with Great Britain in the coxed four in 2004 and was in the British eight at the 2005 World Junior Championships. Tobias was a member of the GB National Youth Sailing Squad but preferred rowing because he wanted to be involved in a team sport. His younger sister, Amelia, has continued in sailing and competed this year in the European Junior Championships. Tobias has sung in choirs at school and has performed Evensong at various locations. He is now part of a close harmony group in Cambridge. There is a tradition in the family of studying at Cambridge and particularly at Trinity College.
