Crews from both Marlborough Boys’ and Girls’ Colleges claimed medals during the Maadi Cup rowing regatta at Lake Karapiro today.
The MBC boys under-16 coxed four, comprising Hamish Lindstrom, Jock Flanagan, Louis Girling, Blake Campbell and coxswain Jack Shaw picked up a silver medal, just five seconds adrift of the victorious Timaru BHS crew.
Three more MBC crews will contest A finals on the last day of the regatta tomorrow.
The MGC girls under-16 eight of Grace Straker, Sophia Saggers, Brooke Harper, Abby Craig, Izzy Brick, Mila van Rensberg, Elizabeth Bowron, Bella Rayner and Molly Wilkes bagged a bronze medal behind crews from St Margaret’s and Rangi Ruru.
MGC crews will take part in four more A finals tomorrow.
In a regatta that is normally dominated by large rowing programmes, the 2023 Aon Maadi regatta has bucked this trend. The first 15 events were won by 15 different schools, and out of the 26 gold medals on offer over the first day of finals, 20 schools were able to walk away as champions.
