SELWYN TIMES Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday May 2 2017 13 Maadi Cup stars make national team SPORTS • By Andrew King THEY TOOK on the best in the country, now Ben Taylor, of West Melton, and Thomas Russel, of St Albans, will take on the world. The duo have been named in the national junior rowing team. The two 17-year-old St Andrew’s College students were a part of the winning Maadi Cup squad which not only brought back the top prize for the first time in the college’s history, but the Springbok Shield as well. They will row in the four coxless at the junior world rowing championships in Trakai, Lithuania, from August 2-6. Rowing is in Taylor’s blood, the last time the school raised the shield was when his father, Andrew, was in the boat 34 years ago. Now he has been named in the national squad, he said he has one up on his father. “He is really supportive, really interested and completely stoked that I have made the team,” he said. Russel made the team last year and said he was nervous going into the trials, but once he got on the water he just got stuck into his work. “I was more shocked about making it the year before, but I am still extremely happy to back that up,” he said. Taylor and Russel have been in the boat together for the past four years and both agree having each other there really pushes them to perform better. “You see each other on the water but then spend a bit more time together out of it as well, and that means we really want to push for each other,” Russel said. Taylor said he has to give credit to coach Dale Maher, who has been the “perfect finishing” coach. “He won seven jubilee cups in his eight years while coaching the Rangi Ruru Girls’ eight, so he knows his stuff,” Taylor said. Both said they are incredibly proud to be able to represent their country in a sport they love. •More sport, page 15 NATIONAL HONOURS: Thomas Russel and Ben Taylor will compete in the four coxless at the junior world rowing championships in Trakai, Lithuania, in August.
