Silver and Bronze at Blenheim Regatta

On Saturday the 6th of June, a number of our Year 8s and 9s raced on the lake in front of the magnificent Blenheim Palace. Despite strong cross winds, the rowers all competed successfully with a GMS crew in every final of the events entered.

The Year 9 girls A and B quads both made the final, winning Silver and Bronze respectively. The crew of the A team were Kereth Magnussen, Alice Armes, Mia Taylor and Auriane Jobbagy with Flo Braybrooke as cox. The team that earned Bronze were Polly Coleman, Millie Turner, Devon de Winnaar and Sophie Denson with Mia Agar as cox.

The Year 8 Boys’ Double Scull, rowed by Robert Petrea and Toby Holden, won Silver.

In the afternoon, the Year 8 Girls’ Quad, rowed by Hope Smith, Rebecca Galbraith, Lucy Peace, Jessie McAuley and Auriane Jobbagy as cox, won Bronze, sadly, missing out on silver by one foot on the line.
