For the J15 squads, the A crew competed in their first-ever Schools’ Head and achieved an impressive 11th-place finish. The J15 B crew also put in a solid performance, finishing 8th in their category, demonstrating the depth and promise of the younger athletes in the squad.

In the championship category, last year’s 1st VIII champions proved their speed, finishing considerably faster than many other first eights and placing a commendable 6th. The 2nd VIII also displayed their potential, securing 6th place in their category with a strong and determined row.

Many congratulations to all six crews for their outstanding performances. These results are a testament to the dedication and hard work of our rowers and coaches. We look forward to building on this momentum as we head into the regatta season.
