The Brockville Rowing Club finished the summer season on a high, bringing home a gold medal is the U17 men’s quad, the first gold medal by the club in decades.
Owen Gill, Hunter Grant, Alex Row and Fraser Blair took top honour’s in St. Catherine’s, the highlight result for the club at this year’s Henley. “It feels good to have all the hard work and training pay off,” said Row. “We typically train more than our competition and you could see this in our results,” added Gill.
The team won the race by over a full-boat length over their toughest competition from Vancouver. “The pushed us to the very end,” said Grant. “They were a great team and they made us perform at our very best to win.”
The training of the club is recognized as more of an exercise in perfection, with long hours and short intense workouts combined. “I think our coaching gave us the edge,” said Blair, adding that the crew had only one goal in mind when they entered the race… to win.
Other results from the Henley saw the U23 women’s four of Addie Barr, Mollie McCabe, Hannah de Vos and Christine Allingham finished fifth in Sunday’s final.
