TEENAGE canoeing star Emily Lewis was promoted to ‘Girls A’ at the May Canoe Sprint Regatta held at the National Water Sports Centre, Nottingham.
Lewis, who lives in Malvern and is a member of the Worcester Canoe Club, won the final of both the 500m and 1,000m sprint in the K1 event, held last weekend.
She is now ranked in the top 10 Under 18 junior girl paddlers in the UK. Success was also achieved in the K2 event over 1,000m where she teamed up with Vicky Croucher, of Weybridge Canoe Club, comfortably holding off a late bid from the Elmbridge crew from Surrey.
