Topic: Shawnigan Lake School Regatta

This coming weekend is the Shawnigan Lake School Regatta. We have been training really hard these past couple of weeks to prepare, and with the weather not wanting to co-operate with us lately, it has been very difficult to get on the water. Our coaches usually have pretty high expectations, and are always working with us to improve as a team! The rowing crew this year has some really great spirit and is hoping to do well this weekend. With a couple of injuries within the seniors, we have still managed to put some fantastic boats together. As for the juniors, I have seen some really fast boats on the water, and I believe that they have great potential! We are going to race this 2000m with some intensity and hopefully some great cheering from the School and walk away with a few medals!
