Congratulations to Theo Hatcher and Louis De Neve who have been selected for The Boat Race on 13 April.

Theo Hatcher (Natural Sciences, 2021), began rowing at the nearby St John's College School and learnt to sweep at Robinson College Boat Club. He has been selected to row for the Lightweight Blue Boat at seven seat. 
“Rowing has been a big part of my life for many years, especially throughout university. I joined RCBC in my first year after thinking I wouldn't continue rowing after 6th form and was hooked since. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with RCBC and after third year felt I was ready to trial with the CUBC Lightweights. I came with no expectations of how far I would make it and am privileged to be selected for the final crew. My favourite part of trialling is the squad dynamic and the people I am surrounded by. I see these guys, usually multiple times, every day and can always count on them for support, a good laugh or advice. Alongside the rowing, I am currently writing up my masters thesis on computational organic chemistry in predicting stereoselectivity of specific organocatalysts."
 

Louis De Neve (Natural Sciences, 2021), who began coxing with Robinson College Boat Club in his second year has been selected to cox Blondie, the women’s reserve boat.
“Learning to cox with Robinson was a highlight of my time at Cambridge, an experience that continued as I progressed within the sport at CUBC. The best moments of this season have all been with the Blondie crew, from Head of the Charles in Boston, through all the fixtures against top clubs from across the country so I am honoured to have been selected to cox them for the Boat Races. The training has certainly been full on, but the people around you at CUBC make it incredibly enjoyable. When I’m not at training in Ely or at the Goldie boathouse, I can usually be found at the British Antarctic Survey where I am currently researching for my thesis on the impacts of undersea topography on biological productivity in the Southern Ocean.
