Published Tue 01 Jun 2021
Rowing NSW would like to congratulate the NSW Masters State Team who competed at the 2021 Australian Masters Rowing Championships (AMRC) at West Lakes, South Australia from 27 May - 30 May. The 2021 AMRC saw an incredible effort from our NSW Masters State Team and NSW clubs who raced to the finish line. Racing can still be viewed through Rowing Australia's Livestream here.
A total of 31 NSW Masters State Team athletes and four coaches travelled to West Lakes, South Australia, boats in tow to represent NSW in the Masters Interstate Regatta. The athletes were eager to race and to showcase the hard work they have put in over the last few months.
Day three saw five podium finishes for our NSW Masters State Team across six events. Rowing NSW is incredibly proud of the NSW Masters State Team athletes and coaches and we would like to thank you for representing our State and for the community for being such great support throughout the event.
