Successful young people

Meet, Sam Wratten

Sam is part of the LYR alumni network. He rowed with LYR for three years, finishing at Mossbourne Academy. Sam was in the first crew that LYR ever qualified for Henley Royal Regatta. He won a bronze medal at the British Championships and went on to graduate from Oxford University.

Meet, Leila

Leila heard about rowing in 2012 after her school advertised an LYR learn-to-row course. This lead to her getting involved in London Youth Games and eventually joining Mossbourne Academy Rowing Club. She has since been offered a rowing scholarship to study at the University of California, LA.

Meet, Sam Nunn

After completing a learn-to-row course when he was 15yrs old, Sam signed up to row competitively with our programme at Mossbourne Academy. He went on to win a bronze medal at the British Junior Rowing Championships and in turn was offered a scholarship to study and row at the University of Washington.
