Interstate Pathways Regatta

On Monday 15 April and Tuesday 16 April, eight girls from our Pymble 1st VIII crew were selected into the NSW 1st Eight to compete in the Interstate Pathways Regatta. Our Pymble rowers progressed through their heat race with an intelligent performance to get them into the A-Final. In the final, the team started with confidence to get out in front early with only Queensland and South Australia in front.  The team showed tremendous Pymble grit and determination at the 500m with Queensland a full boat length in front, reeling them in stroke by stroke to eventually pass them and cross the line in 2nd place, taking the Silver Medal. 

Congratulations to Carolina Yemma (Year 12), Holly Craig (Year 12), Erin Porter (Year 11), Mika Naito (Year 11), Scarlet Olesen (Year 10), Millie Cullinane (Year 10), Alessandra Braysich (Year 12), Mia Booth (Year 12), coached and managed by our Head of Coaching and Performance, Mr Karl Schmidt.

Mr Ben Booker, our 2nd VIII coach, was nominated as coach of the NSW 2nd Eight. The crew raced a valiant heat to be NSW’s only 2nd Eight in the A-Final. In the final, the crew raced with determination and secured a 5th place finish.
