Rowing - Bendigo Regatta

On 17 October, College rowers journeyed to Bendigo for their first regatta of the year. Rowers were woken up at a sharp 6:30 to make their way down to the lake and the weather revealed to be a wonderful warm and flat day and our rowers planned to make the most of it. 

The day kicked off with the long-awaited male U17 coxed quad scull, after a heated race the College quad finished in a valiant second place. The quad races for the day were neck and neck, all crews gave their best effort with the junior boys crew claiming first place in the male U15 coxed quad scull. With an equally impressive performance the 

College doubles also saw major success, with multiple doubles securing a sweet second place and Seamus McDonald and Finn Hawthorne taking first place in the male U15 double scull. 

Our singles put on a dazzling show, some with a slightly splashy finish. All singles were flying down the lake but standing above the rest was Lulu McDonald with a convincing victory in the U15 single scull. Big thanks to the parents and staff who organised the rowers and an even bigger thanks to the rowers, especially to the newer team members for showing up and giving it their best shot.
