Congratulations to all the crews who made it through to the finals on Sunday. No matter how you placed in your race, be very proud of yourself, your crew and your coach. It is no small thing to have made it into the Sunday final of this regatta. A special congratulations to Lisa Roy and the Jr Women’s Quad: Kylie Rogg, Lilana Biktimirova, Kate Maki and Sapphire Ingram who won a Bronze medal.
To the coaches – what an amazing group of volunteers you are. The amount of time, energy and effort it takes to coach in this sport is unparalleled. You have worked with our athletes since November, six days a week (did you really take a day off? – not sure), arriving at the cage or on the island all those early, early mornings to mentor, organize, teach and deal with student athletes and all that they bring with them. Your commitment and service to these students, and our school, is greatly appreciated. You are one special group.
Thank you so much to all the parents who contributed food and fun at the Bulldog Tent. A very special thank you to Angela and Andrea (Mouse) who organized the food donations, cooked fajitas for two days and stayed at the tent serving our athletes for the entire regatta.
A long season of dryland training, erg’ing, weights, the Brock tank, Hydro Hill, early mornings, cold early mornings, travel and regattas has come to an end. SWC can be very proud of all of its rowers this year. You trained hard, believed in yourselves, bonded with each other and represented your school always with pride. Most importantly, you all grew as rowers and as young adults. This year has helped to shape you into your most excellent future selves. Congratulations.
Photos are still in progress – stay tuned.
