Members of the King’s School Rowing Club and Queens Park High School Rowing clubs have recently embarked on their annual triathlon. The club triathlon, now in its third year, had 58 senior competitors who participated in the senior event (5000 metre ergo/ 5000 metre run and a 500 metre swim) and 34 juniors in the sprint triathlon (2000 metre ergo/ 5000 metre run and a 200 metre swim.)

The event was a great success and a platform for the rowers of both schools to show their levels of fitness, determination and focus.  Both David Fayle (L6CC) and Oliver Major (4AC), who are “Novice Swimmers”, competed in the senior event instead of dropping down to the sprint event. 

The racing was extremely competitive with great performances from all five category winners King’s pupils: Harry Ashworth (U6ER) (senior boys) Alice Carr (5JM) (senior girls) Anna Willis (3B) (sprint girls) and Mark Brownson (L6KS) (Coxes race). All five will receive individual trophies for their efforts along with medals.
