World Championship Gold for Pembroke Rowing Duo

NEWS |

Pembroke rowers Brianna Stubbs and Ellie Piggott have taken gold at the World Championships in the U23 women's lightweight sculls competition. It was a very tight race in the final, but the determination was there to take the girls home just ahead of a very strong Romanian crew.

Brianna came to Pembroke in 2009 to read pre-clinical medicine, and is now about to start her DPhil studies with us in the coming term. Ellie also came up as an undergraduate in 2009 and completed her PPE degree last summer. Both Brianna and Ellie have spent many an hour in Pembroke boats in the past four years and we are delighted to congratulate them on their latest success on the international stage. A truly impressive achievement!
