1. What is your greatest achievement in sport?
My greatest sporting achievement would have to be, when rowing in the novice men’ s 8 for GUBC, we won gold at the Scottish University Championships, beating every other uni in Scotland, including rivals Edinburgh. We then went on to place 6 th at BUCS.
2. How has being a part of a sport’ s club benefited your time at UofG?
I only got involved in sport at university in my second year and I can honestly say that my biggest regret is not having gotten involved sooner. It was only after becoming a member of the Boat Club, rowing in the Novice Men’ s Squad, that I realised the benefits of participating in sport at university. Training day-in, day-out with the same team of people, not only improved my university experience in terms of keeping active but it also immensely improved my experience socially.
