Ruth Carpenter, Emily Gade in singles and the double of Aimee Broadbent and Therese Coen qualified with ease. Cat Stenhouse and Hermione Tuck where not so lucky in the senior double and just missed out. These girls are newer to UL and with more time at the club, they will improve exponentially to be key athletes to the club in the future. Ruth Carpenter’s first race in the senior single was unfortunate to be against one of the firm favorites in the event.
