Harefield Results – August 2017

Big thank-you to everyone involved in making the Harefield Slalom was our most successful yet, with nearly 120 starts.

Also big congratulations to The Shark paddlers who took part in the event, which was blessed with sunshine.

Jacob Simpson (Junior 14) won the Division 4 Men’s kayak event on Saturday, his first ever slalom event, and won promotion to division 3 enabling him to race in Sunday’s Division 3 event where he came 11th. Well Done Jacob.

On Sunday it was another Shark, Sam Liddy (J14) who won the Division 4 event with Alex Aldred (J14)coming second, both were promoted to division three.  On Saturday Alex had been 5th and Sam 11th, also on Saturday James Cluett (J12) raced i coming 7th. This was the first event for any of these paddlers.

So, well done guys.
