The weekend before half term saw KSR rowers competing in the first race of the season. It was an amazing day on the river, filled with great racing and outstanding performances. From start to finish, the energy, determination and team spirit on display were absolutely inspiring. Every crew delivered brilliant performances and the results reflected the hard work everyone has been putting in during training.
A standout achievement of the day was that every crew improved on their testing times, highlighting the significant progress being made. This improvement is a true testament to the dedication and effort put in both on and off the water. Hard work is paying off and the team is heading in a very promising direction.
