What They Had To Say

1V4: "Against strong currents, water nearing flood level, and a powerful head wind, this boat pulled well together. We pulled far ahead early in the preliminary race and raced even faster in the grand finals in one of the hardest days of racing we have had. I am proud of everything this boat had to give." - Cecelia Martyna
 

N8: "I'm very happy with how we raced today and with the amount of progress we've made in these few short weeks. Can't wait to see where it goes from here!" - Ella Lewis
 

2V4: "I believe we worked very hard and improved with every stroke. We gave it our all and will continue to do so every chance we get." - Gaby Gómez Gómez 
 

1V8: "Despite tough conditions and it being the 4th race of the day for most people in the boat, we really made sure to dedicate every last ounce of our energy to the Grand Final. Our perseverance today is a testament to our commitment to improving our fitness throughout the winter and spring seasons." - Sarah Duncan
