Meet the Cambridge University Boat Club ladies’ crew as they bid to beat Oxford for the sixth consecutive meeting

The Cambridge University Boat Club women’s crew will be looking to continue their recent positive run in the Gemini Boat Race when they meet Oxford again on Sunday.

Last year’s victory, by 2 and a quarter lengths, gave Cambridge a five-match winning streak, who now lead the outright record by 46-30.

Here are the eight athletes and Cox who have been selected to compete in the 2023 game.
