Josh, James and Rei make the WA Pathway Team
Congratulations to our Year 12 rowers James Watson, Josh Strohmeier, Rei Poon and coach John Pisano (‘16) on their recent results at the 2022 Pathways Regatta held in Canberra. Coinciding with youth selection trials for U19, U21 and U23 national teams, the regatta gave the boys the opportunity to witness rowing at a national standard and combine their skills with talented rowers from other schools, culminating in a 3rd place finish for the WA Men’s Pathway 8+ in the A final. Well done boys!
