The National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships are the biggest adaptive rowing event of the year in the UK. 2023’s return to live competition also brought not only a record number of adaptive entries (143), but also expanded to a two-venue event – London and Leeds – in order to make it more accessible to northern athletes. Time Trial collated the results in real time to determine the national medal winners across the two venues. The event is popular among SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) schools who do indoor rowing as a part of their school PE and sport.
The unofficial SEND “Victor Ludorum” (ie. traditional prize given at rowing competition for the team with the strongest results – in this case using the 5 points for gold, 3 points for silver and 1 point for bronze metric) goes to regular SEND NJIRC powerhouses – Stormont. As with last year, Stormont topped the leaderboard followed closely by Drumbeat and Mayesbrook. The top of the north were East SILC – HCP Temple Moor Partnership and Hanson Academy with 2 medals each. And a shout out to Marlow for the strongest rowing club finish.
