“Stopping was Never an Option”

“Stopping was Never an Option”

The Boat Race this year was fantastic for the University as a whole – wins for the men’s Blue Boat, after 3 years of Oxford supremacy, and for Blondie, CUWBC’s reserve boat. We can all enjoy those moments together – after all, we are Cambridge!

The performance of the CUWBC Blue Boat under pressure and in the face of disaster makes us all very proud. Hannah Roberts, CUWBC President said ‘stopping was never an option’ and this embodies the mindset of the team and has been evident all

year, in training at Goldie and on the water at Ely. We are proud that two of our Magdalene women, Daphne Marshenko and Evelyn Boettcher, are part of that team and of all the work they have both done in the past 7 months leading up to race day.
