Head Of The School Girls 2019

From Thursday the 14th of March until Sunday the 17th, all the MGC rowers were in Geelong competing at the 2019 Head Of The School Girls regatta, the biggest single sex sporting event in the southern hemisphere with 2146 competitors. After a bumpy season, the MGC rowing club pulled together for an incredible final few days of racing. 

On Thursday we competed in and won the SSV Regatta and at the HOSG on Sunday we had 60% of crews through to A finals, one crew winning gold (!!), five silver and two bronze. 

It was amazing to watch all of the girls getting around each other, cheering all weekend along the banks of the Barwon River, to smash out their races. Congratulations to all MGC rowers and coxes on a fantastic effort over the last 6 months and to the year 12 senior seniors on completing their last season of school girl rowing. 

A massive thank you to everyone who made this weekend possible, to Andrew Beck (Rowing Coordinator), Paul Blanchfield (Head Coach), Trevor Howlett, Jono Rundell, Karen Money (Principal), the teachers who came down, coaches and our amazing parent support team.
