Local rower Harry Dymock represented his school, Kinross Walaroi School, Orange at the International Regatta Centre Rowing Championships in Penrith last weekend.
Harry competed in the Under 19 Men’s single scull in which there were 46 entrants. In heat one Harry emerged as the winner with a time of 7 minutes and 30 seconds. His next race was the semifinal in which Harry came in second behind a rower from Wendouree Ballarat in a time of 7 mins 18 seconds.
In the final Harry came in a very creditable 5th place. However, he was bested by a member of the Mosman Rowing Club who took first prize with a time of 7 mins 9 seconds. Later in the evening Harry and his team of Ollie Smith, Oscar Cleary and Toby Buckland ran 4th in the Coxed quad scull heats with a time of 6 minutes and 32 seconds.
The boys then competed in the final which was a great race from start to finish with The Kinross Walaroi crew winning in a time of 6 mins 35 seconds. They were followed by the Southport School in second, 1.46 seconds behind with Radford College a further 4 seconds behind. A big turnaround from the heat results.
The final winning time was slower than the heat time. A great result for Harry, Ollie and Oscar as they have won this event three years in a row. The final Quad event was the Under 19 quad scull, with the winners unfortunately leaving Henry behind.
