KSR rowing team recently competed in the prestigious Schools Head of the River Race for the very first time, a remarkable achievement in itself.
Considering that this was also our first experience with sweep rowing, the team rose impressively to the challenge. With just three training sessions in an eight and two sessions in a coxed four, their performance was outstanding and showed real determination, teamwork and adaptability.
As one of the largest and most competitive school rowing events in the country, this race provided an invaluable experience. Our rowers represented the School with pride throughout the day on the River Thames, demonstrating commitment and enthusiasm from start to finish.
Well done to everyone involved for a fantastic effort and a memorable day on the water. This marks an exciting step forward for our rowing programme.
Thank you to David Trace for the support on the day and a massive thank you to Gavin Kerr from Cymba Racing for lending us an SL racing eight for the event.
