Rowing: Schools Regatta 3
Our SMC Rowers had a very successful weekend at Schools Regatta 3. Stakes were high as crews were aiming to qualify for finals in next week’s All Schools Championship Regatta.
With nearly 30 crews qualifying for finals, the girls showed great tenacity and put into practice everything they have been working on at training in preparation for the culmination of the rowing season.
As always team work, resilience and school spirit were on full display. Well done to all involved and thank you to all parents, staff and volunteers who assisted over the weekend.
