15th in the world juniors wow – 3.29 in great conditions. 6th in the B final. Congratulations and very proud of you both Mitchell Hughes and Jayden Newell. Good luck to the rest of the team and shine for Australia!
What a brilliant effort by Mitch and Jayden. Massive pb in the heat, in fact I don't think this pair have an official k2 time as they were thrown together as a team after nationals, were not even guaranteed a paddle at worlds, now they are top 18 in the world, in the b-final and have only trained together for 3 months. It just goes to show you can put 2 talented paddlers together, with commitment, who will make the effort to train together even though they live in 2 different states and shazam, a great result so far. Congratulations to both their coaches Brian Trouville and Jaydens coach from sunshine coast canoe club
