Head of the Lake and ACT Junior Championships Regattas
The Head of the Lake Regatta last Saturday featured all of our year group quads. Our Year 9 quad placed second in the A final with our School Boy (senior) number one quad placing third. It was great to have Headmaster Matthew Hutchison presenting the trophies on the day. We hope next season it will be a Championship trophy presented to Marist!
The ACT Junior Championships was held last Sunday. Some of the notable results included:
- Ben Vardy - the ACT Champion in the Under 16 Single Scull
- Jesse Rosin - the ACT Champion in the Under 17 Single Scull
- Kai Martin and Jack Miller – second in the Under 17 Double Scull
- Ben Cusack and Robbie Hanson – third in the Under 16 Double Scull
- The Under 16, Under 17 and Under 19 Quad Sculls – all placed third in their respective competitions.
The Governor-General, His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC, and Her Excellency, Mrs Linda Hurley, presented the major trophies at the Regatta. We were honoured to have them say a few words and present the Championship medals at our presentation at the conclusion of the Regatta.
