What a weekend for Wolverhampton Canoe Club at the Sprint National Championships in Nottingham! 🛶🏆💙
We couldn’t be prouder of our paddlers. There’s been some fantastic racing, brilliant results and, most importantly, every one of them went out there and gave it everything.
🏆 Paul had a fantastic weekend, taking 1st place in the Over 54 K2 500m and becoming National Champion! He also stepped down to race with the youngsters in the Over 44 K4 500m, where he came away with a brilliant 3rd place. Proof that the old guard have still got a few tricks up their sleeves! 😂💪🥉
🏆 Sienna had a brilliant Championships, becoming Under 18 200m K1 National Champion and 500m K4 National Champion, as well as taking a fantastic 2nd place in the 500m K2. Some brilliant racing across the weekend and so much to be proud of! 💪
💙 Lydia faced some really tough competition this weekend and did brilliantly. She kept fighting, kept pushing and gave everything she had in every race. Medals and results never tell the whole story, and the determination she showed out on the water is something she should be really proud of.
🌟 Lexi had a fantastic weekend, becoming 5x Under 14 National Champion, winning all of her heats and finals along the way. She also finished off the weekend competing in the Mixed K2 500m and K4 500m.
To perform with that level of consistency across an entire National Championships is a fantastic achievement and something she should be incredibly proud of.
🛶 Tyler competed in his last regatta as a Mini Sprint paddler and gave it his all. He came second place overall in the Mini Sprint Class A🏅🏅🏅🏅.
It’s the end of one chapter in his paddling journey and the beginning of the next. It’s been brilliant watching him develop and I’m excited to see where he goes from here.
As coaches , we are obviously proud of the medals and National titles, but we are even prouder of the team behind them.
The hard work they’ve put into training, the determination when races get tough, the encouragement from the bank and the way they support one another are what make weekends like this so special.
We arrived in Nottingham as a team and we’re heading home with eight National Championship titles, a silver medal, a bronze medal, some fantastic racing and plenty of memories. 🏆🥇🥈🥉
Well done Team Wolverhampton! 💙🛶🏆
