A former Queen Elizabeth School pupil, 16 year old Christy has her sights set on representing Great Britain in the Olympics and the JTYAF is delighted to support her in the pursuit of this ambition. The photo above shows Christy rowing for Christchurch Rowing Club.

Christy will be boarding at Hartpury College and studying for four A-levels during her two year course. As part of the Elite Development Group she will receive coaching on a daily basis from GB rowing coaches.

We wish Christy all the very best for her course and every success in her rowing career. Go smash it girl!!
