We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of two OBMs who have represented Great Britain on the international stage this summer.
Ellie Sillar (2017-24) won a Silver Medal in the Women's Eight (W8+) at the U23 World Rowing Championships in Duisburg, Germany. This impressive result is a testament to Ellie's dedication, resilience and countless hours of training. From her days at Bedford Modern School to competing for GB, Ellie continues to inspire the next generation of BMS students with her commitment and ambition.
We are also thrilled to congratulate Ewan (2020-24), who recently won Gold in the Junior Men's Pair (JM2) at the prestigious Coupe de la Jeunesse in Lucerne, Switzerland. Representing Great Britain, Ewan produced a superb performance against some of Europe's best young rowers, reflecting the hard work, determination and commitment that have characterised his rowing journey.
We are immensely proud to see Ellie and Ewan achieving such success in GB colours, and we look forward to following their future success!
