Saturday 28 February began with uncertainty as early morning thunderstorms rolled in from 5:00am, forcing racing to be suspended until 9:30am. Fortunately, the skies cleared, the rain eased, and crews were greeted with fast-moving yet flat water; ideal conditions for competitive racing.
As the fourth and final round of the School Premiership Regatta, there was plenty at stake. With valuable points on the line ahead of Head of the River, every crew arrived determined to perform at their best.
Despite a light sprinkle during parts of the program, conditions remained quick and smooth. Our rowers demonstrated development, resilience, and dedication, delivering some fantastic results across the day.
A special mention to Maximo. W, Slater. H, Josh. A, Daniel. N, and cox Jacob. L, who produced a thrilling race in the Schoolboy Year 7/8 A Final, finishing an incredibly close 2nd, just 2.10 seconds behind first place.
Congratulations also to Scarlett. P, Julissa. A, Grace. S, Serena. A, and cox Grace. K, who claimed 1st place in the Schoolgirl Coxed Four B Final with a commanding performance.

Overall, it was a strong showing to close out the final premiership round. The continued growth across all year levels is a testament to the hard work being put in at training, and the team now looks ahead to Head of the River with confidence and momentum.
