Local schoolboy Zak Jenkins has been selected for the GB Junior Rowing Squad.
Zak, a former pupil of Waverley Prep School in Wokingham, who is now in Year 10 at Leighton Park School in Reading, was thrilled to receive the news.
Zak was recently invited to the squad’s first training camp over the Easter holidays at the National Watersports Centre in Nottingham.
Zak’s Gold medal at the recent Henley winter regatta, his indoor rowing machine times and past racing history all contributed to his selection.
At 15 years and 2 months old, Zak now becomes the youngest member of the GB Junior rowing squad.
Zak, who now rows for Henley Rowing Club, is very excited to be starting on this journey that could hopefully lead to international representation.
