Scholar Success 💪

A huge congratulations to our Powerlifting Scholar, Ruby Howard, on securing 3rd place at Junior Nationals after an incredibly demanding competition schedule.

With Junior Nationals being Ruby's third competition in just three months and only 2.5 weeks between BUCS and Nationals, the focus going into the event was on maintaining a positive mindset.

After overcoming an early setback in the squat, Ruby bounced back to achieve a 160kg squat, a 100kg bench press PB and a huge 190kg deadlift PB. The final deadlift secured not only a 5kg personal best but also a place on the podium.

Final Results:
• Squat: 160kg
• Bench: 100kg (+2.5kg PB)
• Deadlift: 190kg (+5kg PB)
• Total: 450kg (+5kg PB)

Reflecting on the competition, Ruby highlighted how much her mindset has developed over the past year, focusing on controlling what she can do on the day and trusting the process.

Following an international appearance, a 2nd place finish at BUCS and now a podium finish at Junior Nationals, this has been an outstanding season!

Congratulations Ruby!

A huge congratulations to uea+sport scholar Harry Sewell-Catchpole on representing Great Britain at the 2026 ICF Wildwater Canoeing Senior World Championships in Banja Luka, Bosnia.

Competing on the challenging Vrbas River, Harry delivered an outstanding performance alongside C2 partner Eddie Mackintosh, securing two team medals in the MC2 team events:

🥈 Silver - Sprint Team Event
🥉 Bronze - Classic Team Event

Harry also competed in the individual MC2 events, finishing 13th in the Classic race and narrowly missing out on a Sprint final place by just 2.32 seconds.

Congratulations Harry on an incredible achievement! 👏

A huge congratulations to Ethan Kirby on an incredible performance at Loughborough.

Battling through cold, wet conditions, Ethan produced a fantastic 400m personal best of 48.74 seconds, a time that currently ranks him number one in the world in the T20 category!

To achieve a personal best in challenging conditions is impressive enough, but to top the world rankings makes this performance even more special.

Congratulations Ethan, we can't wait to see what comes next! 👏

So we think the answer is no... 🥬⚽️

After seeing Tesco's football lettuce, we had one very important question...

Can you actually play football with a lettuce?

The uea+sport and Sportspark team put it to the test.

The results? Let's just say there's a reason footballs aren't made of lettuce... 🤦‍♂️🥬
