Our rowing team made it into 3 A finals and 1 B final at Maadi, winning two gold medals!
The first gold medal was won by Emily Young and Zara Blackie in the Girls Under 18 Double Sculls. With 42 crews entered from around the country, Emily and Zara won their heat, quarter final, semi final and the A final, coming home five seconds clear of Queen Margaret College from Wellington who secured silver.
The second gold medal was won by Zara Blackie in the Girls Under 17 Singles Scull. This event had 55 entries and once again Zara stormed through her heat, quarter final, semi final and the A final. The bonus for winning this A final was that Lazlo sponsored a brand new single scull boat to the A final champion.
Our Under 18 Novice 8 crew of Melody Ding, Neve Dunphy, Evie Doell, Isabel Mahon, Charlotte Vincent, Zara Greig-McKay, Isla McGhie and Briar Jacobson with coxswain Linaya Karunatillake made their A final and finished 8th. A fantastic achievement to make the A final in their first season of rowing.
The rowing season is now complete and all coaches, athletes and parents are on a well-deserved break. A big thank you to all our parents, supporters, and the wider school community for being there on our journey.
