Seren Palmer, 14, became the national champion in under 14 single sculls at Nottingham on Friday.

Racing in the Omnium event, a mixture of skills and racing saw Seren come out on top of 93 other competitors from all over Great Britain.

Following that first success, Seren raced in a quadruple scull with Lara Foulkes from City of Ely College and twins Madison and Emillie Howard and Emma Huckle from Bottisham Village College.

The girls competed in a time trial, qualified for the b final and then went on to win the b final. They finished seventh overall in the under 14 event quad event.
