HBHS Crews Perform Well at New Zealand Rowing Club Championships

The New Zealand Rowing Club Championships were held last week at Lake Karapiro from the 18th to the 22nd of February, and as part of their build-up to the Maadi Regatta, a number of HBHS crews competed and came away with a collection of ten medals.  The Novice Four won a gold and silver medal, as did the Novice Quad in their events.  The Novice Eight won gold by an enormous 26 second margin, and the Novice Double also came away with a gold medal.  Two of HBHS's novice rowers, Jacob Prier and Rhys Bain won all four novice titles they competed in, a most impressive effort.  The HBHS Maadi Crew (pictured, at right) performed very well, winning both the Club Eight with the ceremony at right, and the Under 19 Fours event.  The other Under 19 Four came a very close second in the Club Four race, and the Under 17 Eight finished a close third in the Club 8.  HBHS's final tally was 6 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze medal.  Worth noting, the Under 16 Eight and Four finished fourth in the Club 8 and Under 19 Four, contributing to a strong HBHS showing at this regatta.  For more information and photos, click on the link below to head to the HBHS Rowing Supporters website, and keep checking in to see how our rowing crews are preparing for Maadi 2014.  We congratulate them on their efforts and wish them every success.
