Golden Girls!
The under 15s double sculling duo, Lexi Kerr and Sarah Smith, won gold in their event at the Maadi National Secondary Schools Rowing Regatta held at Lake Karapiro on the 2nd and 3rd of April, with a lead of two lengths. Our first gold in 22 years. On the podium, they thanked their coaches and fellow squad members for motivating them to reach their limits. 122 schools and 1989 students competed in 48 events; six Epsom crews progressed to finals. An amazing feat for the girls and the school.
