INDOOR ROWING CHAMPIONSHIPS

SSV Indoor Rowing Championships

This year, Kew High School competed in the inaugural SSV Indoor Rowing Championships held at Melbourne Girls College.

The day commenced with a welcoming address from current world record holder and two time Olympic silver medalist, Josh Dunkley-Smith. Then, the 14 students from Years 7 and 8 took part in a 60 second timed race, 500m, 1000m and 2000m races on the rowing machine.

The boys walked away from the event setting records and with many medals. They had the benefit of training with 3 time Olympian Jane Robinson in preparation for the competition. Congratulations to all those students who participated.
