Holly is now back at Cambridge training for the Cambridge Small Boats regatta, where she will be competing in a pair, and for the British Universities regatta where she will be competing in the 8 and 4. Holly is hoping to trial for Team GB next year and wants to improve her sculling over the summer with the help of DRC.
