Rowing Report by Rowing Captains – Joah Henderson, Catherine Coad & Meg Mason.
Well, what can we say... we knew it would be hot! However – despite the scorching sun, our committed group of Damascus rowers arrived at the regatta centres for both the Melbourne Head and Ballarat Schools Regatta. Our Juniors, Intermediates and Senior Girls crews were very keen to hit the water at our home stage – Lake Wendouree, but after only a few races the regatta was cancelled due to the uninvited high winds.
In Melbourne, the Senior Boys raced down the long, curvy and also windy Yarra River course. We competed in both the Schoolboys Quad Scull and Schoolboys Four events. It was evident that boys rowed with great effort and focus in order to knock off the rival crews. They ended the day placing 8th out of 14 in the Schoolboys Quad Scull and 10th out of 14 crews in the schoolboys four.
Our boys Rowing Captain Joah Henderson also raced his single scull in the Schoolboys Singles Sculls event and placed 6th out of 60! A fantastic effort in a very tough competition.
Well done everyone!
