2022 Australian Rowing Championships Interstate Regatta | NSW Wrap Up | Single Scullers, Lightweights & Youth 8s

Last week saw 560 athletes from NSW venture to Lake Nagambie for the 2022 Australian Rowing Championships (ARC). With assistance from coaches and support staff our athletes brought home a multitude of medals and trophies throughout the week with many successes from both club and school levels. The final day of racing made way for the 2022 Interstate Regatta with some of the best racing conditions of the week.

Interstate Women's PR3 Single Scull

Sunday's racing began with the Interstate PR3 Single Scullers, which saw Lisa Greissl (LMRC) claim silver in a strong race just behind Victorian Jessica Gallagher with ACT's Rebecca Jones taking home bronze.

Interstate Men's PR3 Single Scull

James Talbot (SUBC) pushed through for silver behind a convincing win from ACT's Nick Neales with Queensland's Mac Russell securing bronze.

Interstate Women's Single Scull - Nell Slatter Trophy

Excitement was felt throughout the race for the Nell Slatter Trophy as Harriet Hudson (SRC) pushed past Queensland's Lily Alton at the 1000 metre mark to finish with a time of 8:10.81 as Harriet claimed first place, holding true to NSW's position in the event since 2019.

Interstate Men's Single Scull - President's Cup

David Bartholot (SUBC) also displayed a convincing win for the President's Cup almost six seconds ahead of ACT's Caleb Antill and Victoria's Redmond Matthews.

Interstate Women's Youth Eight - Bicentennial Cup

NSW shone brightly with both Interstate Youth Eights claiming gold in what were some close margins for competing crews.

Interstate Men's Youth Eight - Noel F Wilkinson Trophy

Following the WY8+ win, the MY8+ displayed a fantastic row across the course to claim gold with a very close margin between first and second place.
