About Thomas:
Why did you choose Mathematics Tripos?
In my third year of the course, looking to get in to Part III (masters) at Cambridge. Need to achieve a first this year as well as trialling for the boat race. Specialised this year in statistics – enjoy the use of mathematics to approximate real world situations and the predictive power that gives.
Why did you first try rowing?
Got asked by a third year to try it out because I was tall.
Who introduced you to the sport of rowing?
Christian Lindig at Churchill College, Cambridge
What are your proudest rowing achievements?
Posting some big erg scores.
Do you have a favourite Boat Race? Which one and why?
2023 – first year I watched the race in person, and the CUBC clean sweep!!
What would winning The Boat Race mean to you?
Everything
