Aoraki Rowing Regatta


Nine athletes from St Kevin's competed at the Aoraki 1000 mtr rowing regatta in the weekend as part of the Oamaru Club.  The first Regatta of the new season produced some very good results, almost all athletes made it to finals on the Sunday, with Hannah Cunningham getting first in the U16 Girls Single, and then an impressive 3rd rowing up an age level to get 3rd in U17 Girls Single.   Jack Andrew did well to finish a close 4th in the U16 Boys Single.  Logan Docherty and Max Smith combined well to compete in 6 races on the Saturday and make it to 6 finals for Sunday, collecting two 2nd and a 4th. Unfortunately the wind blew up on Sunday which didn't allow the last few races to be rowed.  The last race in these conditions was Shea Direen and Roshni Crow to get an impressive 5th in very trying conditions. To all athletes well done, next Regatta Ashburton 26th and 27th November.
