2022T1W10 - Rowing Dinner & Fellowship award

On Tuesday evening in the DEC the College held the End of Season Rowing Dinner. This is a great opportunity for students, staff and families to come together to celebrate the time and commitment of all the rowers, coaches and parents. Rowing captains Morgan McCann and Joshua Matheson showed great leadership and spoke well on the night. All senior rowers were presented with a Rowing Badge that they can wear with pride on their college blazer. These were gifted to the students by Brad Beutel (coach) and will be given to rowers each year in their first year of Senior Rowing.

This year we presented for the first time, the Damascus College Senior Rowing Fellowship. This will be presented annually to a Year 12 senior rower who has rowed for four seasons and excels in all areas of rowing, including behaviour, attendance, attitude, aptitude, on water performance in training and racing and 2000m ergo testing results. The winner of the fellowship receives $800 to cover the cost of one year’s rowing fees. The benefactor of this fellowship is Brad Beutel and inaugural Damascus College Senior Rowing Fellowship was presented to Joshua Matheson. Josh’s attitude to training and support of his fellow crew mates throughout the whole season has been inspirational. He is the only male year 12 rower at Damascus this season and has remained focused on his and his crews goals while leading by example both on and off the water. Congratulations Josh on receiving this award – the smile says it all!
