Last week our rowers attended the New Zealand Secondary Schools Rowing Championships, also known as the Maadi Cup. We had eighteen boys competing with over 2,000 other competitors.
The boys conducted themselves well for the entire week and were great models of the POWER values. Despite coming close, no medals were won but as a squad they all rowed extremely well, making eight semi-finals and one straight A final. From this we had six B finals and a further two A finals - a wonderful achievement! Congratulations to Brad Cvitanich who has been selected for the South Island U18 Trials.
Notable results were as follows:
· Tim Hepburn and Brad Cvitanich were 4th in the Under 17 Double Sculls A final and 2nd in the Under 18 Double Sculls B final.
· Jack Clayton and George Copland were 5th in the Under 15 Double Sculls A final.
· Jamari Vou, Jake Edwards, James Steven, James Davidson, Neil Paver, Jack Clayton, George Copland, Farren Landers and cox Matt Kennedy were 8th in the Under 18 Novice Eight A final.
· Jamari Vou, Farren Landers, James Steven, Jack Clayton and cox Matt Kennedy won the Under 18 Novice Coxed Four B Final
