The Year 10 girls had their main event today, the Year 10 Quad. The heats were fantastic with all 3 crews having an absolutely brilliant row. Given the competition, the girls performed very well with some close 4th places and a strong 1st place from the 1st quad girls.
The girls went into the Final as one of the top 4 crews and it was such a fantastic race. Somerville won 1st place and then 2nd to 4th were separated by just .5s! Our girls were just rowed out of 3rd by All Hallows' in a cracking finish. Well done girls!
