Head Coach Ben Jackson says, "This season has been nothing short of exceptional for the Hartpury Rowing Academy. The effort that both our athletes and coaches have been putting in year round are a an absolute testament to the dedication of our staff, athletes and the environment we create for success. I'm really pleased with the results we've produced, and already excited for the upcoming season".

There are of course too many results to go through one by one, so just to brush over a few. Elliott Donovan-Davies, became the youngest person to ever win a BUCS Championship medal, became the first person to win both a National Schools Gold, and BUCS Championship medal in the same year. He was also the youngest person to represent Great Britain at the U23 World Championships, whilst only being 18 years old. Hartpury won all three doubles events at Henley Women's Regatta, College athletes, Millie and Chloe winning the J2x, College and University athletes Katie and Ellie winning the Club 2x, and alumni Jenny Bates winning the Elite 2x.

Hartpury won it's first J16 GOLD at National Schools in the WJ16 4x-. Alongside wins in the Men's Championship 1x, and Women's Championship 2x who also broke the course records. We had a total of 14 International Representations throughout the year by current athletes, and a further five from alumni (Including the Paris Olympic Games). Our Junior Girls dominated at the British Indoors, coming 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the Junior Women's 2k race. Accompanying that, medals in the Junior Men's 2k, Senior Men's Lightweight 2k, Senior Women's 2k, J16 6 minute, and many medals in the 500m races.
