SLRC boys continue strong rowing in London

 

Eryk Taylor, 17, of Simcoe, and Zac Azzopardi, 19,  of Port Dover continue to train hard and represent Silver Lake Rowing Club well while racing in London over the weekend racing crews from Durham, Peterborough, Toronto and London.

 

With no event for their younger age and lightweight category in the mens pair  the boys started the day racing again in the open heavy pair event where they placed third. 

 

Zac then raced the under 23 lightweight boys single event and placed 2nd.

 

The duo teamed up again later in the day to race the open age lightweight double  where they placed 2nd and ended up ranked first amongst all the under 23 crews, matching last weeks success.

 

SLRC alumni Chaundra Manorome was part of the University of Western womens four that won their race in London.

 

Some other SLRC University alumni were racing at the Independence day regatta in Philadelphia over the weekend where Terry Lovegrove (Simcoe Comp) and Jake Martens(Valley Heights) were team together representing St. Catharines Rowing club and won the intermediate mens double.

Other SLRC university alumni racing and making finals at this event were Ian Edwards (2nd in the single 500m dash, 6th in his 2k event) and Tyler Wilson (5th in a lightweight double), both rowing for Guelph Rowing Club.

 

The SLRC duo and alumni  will all be racing at the Central Ontario Championships in St. Catharines next weekend.
