On Day One of the event, the King’s rowers completed an historic triple race win. The boys’ 1^st octuples brought home gold after rowing through Shrewsbury School in the last one hundred metres and the boys’ 2^nd octuples won their race by three quarters of a length. The girls’ 1^st octuple won their race by one foot to claim the first gold medal for a girls’ team in the history of the School.

The J16 1^st VIII added a bronze medal on Day two after a solid performance. With a winning margin of more than a length, the J15 2^nd VIII retained the Mariners Trophy and secured another gold medal.

Strong winds made racing on Day Three of the event difficult and the racing was reduced to a 1000 metre time trial. The girls’ J15, racing up a year group, showed great ability by finishing fourth overall, missing out on a medal by just 0.2 seconds. The senior coxless pair of Elizabeth Williams (L6ER) and Charlotte Seddon (U6NH) also gave a terrific performance, similarly finishing in fourth place and just 0.2 seconds away from a medal.
