Our youngsters, the ‘Mooky Rookies’ qualified for the quarter finals and just missed a semi final berth. With an average age of 17 they were the youngest U/19 crew competing and did a remarkable job in their first year of rowing up against much older and seasoned crews. They still have 2 more years of competition in the U/19 age category, so they have a big future ahead of them. The ‘Mooky Rookies’ crew consists of Mia Garin, Eliza Green, Chloe Scott, Kyla Wall and they are swept by Marty Drysdale.
