Was also a silver medallist with the coxed four at the 2004 World Junior Championships in Banyoles, Spain. Coxed Abingdon Schools first eight for five years, winning the Triple in 2002, including National Schools Regatta, the Schools Head of the River and the Princess Elizabeth Cup at Henley Royal Regatta. Three times a medallist at Munich junior international regatta: bronze (eight 2003), silver and gold (coxed four 2004). Has plenty of experience of coxing on the Tideway.
