The Central Ontario Rowing Championship took place in St. Catharines this weekend where the summer duo of Eryk Taylor (17 of SCS) and Zac Azzopardi (19, recent HT grad) once again had a podium finish in the under 23 lightweight men's double event.  They raced one of their strongest rows this summer season and earned silver in that event.  They also raced earlier in the day in much rougher conditions in the open pair event placing 5th as well as  Zac racing very well in the under 23 lightweight single placing 4th.

 

Three SLRC alumni rowing for The Guelph Rowing Club  also had podium finishes at the championships.
Ian Edwards (HT grad, now at U of Guelph student) placed 2nd in the under 23 men's single event.

Ben Auld (SCS student) and Tyler Wilson (SCS grad, U of Guelph student) formed half of the Guelph lightweight men's quad that also placed 2nd in their event.

Rowing for St. Catharines, Terry Lovegrove (SCS grad, Brock student) placed third in the under 23 men's eight event.

 

The boys will be attending an invitational regatta this coming weekend in preparation for the provincial championships.
