ROWING – FIRST REGATTA
Sunday 7 May was the first Rowing Regatta for the 2023 local season. We couldn’t have asked for better weather and race conditions. Our 42 rowers took on the other Bundaberg schools with oarsome results for our first lead up regatta. All rowers finished with a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd but as this is a lead up regatta, places weren’t awarded. Overall, we saw 20 crews and rowers cross in 1st place, 19 in 2nd place and 8 in 3rd place.
The exciting part of the day was seeing our 22 new rowers crossing the finish line in in their first ever regatta. All rowers put in a great effort and gained valuable race experience for the next Regatta this weekend.
A big THANK-YOU to all the parents and coaches that helped on the day. We had parents on the water in safety boats, helping in the canteen, handing our bow numbers, in the judges' tower, boat loading, towing trailers. The day would not have been a success without your assistance. Thank you to our sponsors as well. Our sponsors have helped financially support our new team uniform. We can’t wait to show off these shirts at the Head of River Regatta.
