We had 5 rowers represent the club at this year’s event. Kate had another very successful National’s campaign. She won the para single, double and coxed four. She then, representing NSW, convincingly won the interstate para single. Kate's impressive performances put her in a good position as Australian trials quickly approach. Miles and Jooya contested the under 17 double and raced well to make the semi-final but were subsequently knocked out. Miles also contested the under 17 single in which he narrowly missed out on a spot to the semi-final. Jason and Angus contested the club men’s double. The boys had a good heat to progress straight to the final. They then had a good race in the final that everyone was happy with, which earned them fourth place. Shortly after the race, it came to light the third placed crew was disqualified due to breaking a rule. Subsequently, the boys were moved up to third and given the bronze medal. Another opportunity for rowers was upon us and three Nepean rowers, Sarah Berechree (St Paul's Grammar) Letisha Hopton(Cranebrook High), Aimee Wagner (Blaxland High) took to the regatta centre to represent their schools.
Sarah came away with the bronze in the year 8 single while Aimee claimed silver in the year 9 single. |
