Rowing Captains with all the Rowing trophies...that the team won....at The 2015 BUNDABERG RADIOLOGY HEAD OF THE RIVER

On Sunday the 14 June, rowers took to the water for the annual Bundaberg Radiology Head of the River regatta. They had been training very hard, up to 6 times a week on and off the water leading up to the regatta. There was much competition between all 6 schools with the point tally even between St Luke’s and rivals Shalom going into the last few races of the day. There were many individual trophies won by students from St Luke’s including the Year 10 girls’ and boys’ singles as well as the Year 12 girls and boys singles.

The medal tallies were as follows:

21 Golds

17 Silvers

15 Bronze

However, without the rowers who entered the races for the extra point, we would have not had a chance of winning the overall trophies: the percentage points trophy and overall points trophy.

This was a special year for St Luke’s as we had won the overall points trophy two years in a row and were looking to make it a third. St Luke’s comfortably won the percentage points trophy and the overall points trophy, just nine points separating us and Shalom. St Luke’s is now on a three year winning streak which is an amazing achievement for a smaller school such as St Luke’s.

All St Luke's rowers should be commended for their outstanding commitment and performances both individually and as a team throughout the day. Another thankyou goes out to all coaches and parents who gave up their time to coach students and transport boats to and from the courses.

Thanks to Mr Ian Grotherr, Mr John Pressler, and all our Coaches, Mr Pike, Mrs Hellmuth Mrs Weston and Mr Robinson for all their help.
