Historic BNCBC performance at Summer VIIIs

The College is delighted to celebrate an historic performance by the Brasenose Boat Club (BNCBC) in this term’s Summer VIIIs. The Boat Club President, Flo Brooke, explains what they have achieved:

We have made BNCBC history with the best aggregate bumps movement ever for Brasenose in Summer VIIIs: our crews went a cumulative +14. The next best BNCBC performance was +13, back in 1947. We qualified 3 boats on each side of the club for the first time since 2003, and every single crew went positive. Our Men’s first boat moved up a division, establishing their position in Division 2, and our Women’s first boat is close behind, ready to make the move up next year. Our Men’s second boat secured blades with an unwaveringly strong performance throughout the week. It was an incredibly exciting week of racing to top off an awesome year for BNCBC.
