Thank you to everyone who attended the SA Champs regatta over the past three days. This was definitely the best attended regatta I have seen both in terms of support and participants. We were rewarded with some awesome racing from our crews, and I truly think our rowers have restored the pride in Bishop Bavin rowing.
Our sincere thanks also go to the members of staff at the school who took the time out of their weekends to come and support the rowers.
For the record we competed in 17 events and qualified for 12 "A" finals (top 8), and 7 "B" finals (second fastest 8).
In the A finals we achieved medal positions in 7 events - 3 Golds, 2 Silvers & 2 bronze medal placings.
In the "B" finals we were placed in the top 3 in 4 events.
To put our overall performance in context, please remember that we won a single bronze medal at last year's championships:
