Outstanding Rowing Success for Nia
Over the past few weeks Nia Almond has raced in her single scull at Chester Regatta and at Henley Women’s Regatta. Due to her outstanding levels of hard work, commitment, drive and focus she has performed to an excellent standard.
At Chester Regatta Nia was the fastest female sculler over the whole day racing in Women’s Elite Single Sculls, a superb result and was awarded the ‘City of Chester Trophy’ by the Regatta Secretary and Lord Mayor of Chester Cllr Razia Daniels pictured below.
Nia then competed at Henley Women’s Regatta which held on the river Thames at Henley-on-Thames, an event targeted at elite women’s rowing. After completing a time trail down the 1500m course in the morning Nia qualified to race in the knockout stages of the regatta. Nia won the next round of the event by beating an accomplished sculler from Putney High School. In the quarter finals a Sculler from Agecroft Rowing Club, a centre of excellence in the North West, beat Nia to the finish in a tough and hard fought race. Nia has done a brilliant job to reach this high level of performance and competition after recovering from a severe back injury that ruled her out of racing for twelve months.

Nia is one of a small number of pupils who are really leading the way and are an excellent example to the younger year groups and aspiring athletes.
