Last weekend the six Agronautes travelled to Hannover to give the EUC a try. Unfortunately, they did not succeed in winning a medal. The race was especially exciting for Nynke Groot Koerkamp and Tessa van Hateren. ‘At two thirds of the race number 2,3 and 4 were still in line,’ says Nynke. Finally the two just missed the podium, but ‘for Tessa and me it was still a good finish to our competition rowing times.’
The lightweight women were rowing against teams with high levels of skills. The four students could not achieve more than a fifth place. And still Argo can be proud of their first year competition rowers, says Nynke. ‘It is a good international experience to take with them for future careers. They have shown what they have got, which is a good promise for their season as second year rowers.’
