ANU Rowers Win 7 Medals at Uni Championships

After qualifying for 15 of the 16 A finals at the Australian University Rowing Championships in Ballarat, ANU’s rowers went on to win 7 medals, equalling the highest number of medals that ANU has ever won at the Championships.

The athletes battled rough conditions and a tricky cross wind on the final day at Lake Wendouree to notch up their tally of 1 gold and 6 bronze medals.

The gold medal was in the mixed four (Dave Wright, Riley Owen, Jacqui Williams, Emily Caudle and Renae Domaschenz), and the bronze in the women’s pair (Sarah McFadden and Hilly Salmon-Krone), men’s pair (Richard Young and Matt McCormack), women’s four (Jacqui Williams, Emily Caudle, Hilly Salmon-Krone, Sarah McFadden and Siobhan Tobin), men’s lightweight four (Dylan Conolan, Nathan Ryan, Ben Morgan and Mark Dawkins), men’s lightweight single (Dylan Conolan), and men’s double scull (Dave Wright and Riley Owen).

The result placed ANU third of the nineteen participating universities in the overall regatta point score, just behind Sydney and Melbourne.

The result was a tribute to the ANU Boat Club coaches who have worked all through the Canberra winter to prepare the team, including Renae Domaschenz, Ben Adams, Tom Watkins and Avril Baker. Thanks also to the pre event logistics planning of Anthony Pardy and other members of the club committee.

The result was also a product of invaluable equipment and funding support from ANU Sport, and of funding from the Australian National University through a Student Extracurricular Experience Fund grant.

ANU Rowers Strike Gold in Ballarat

The ANU team achieved a win in the first finals of the Australian University Rowing Championships, raced today on the 1956 Olympic Games rowing course in Ballarat.

ANU’s mixed four of Jacqui Williams, Emily Caudle, Riley Owen, David Wright and cox Renae Domaschenz powered away from a high calibre Sydney University crew in the last 200m of the final to notch up ANU’s first ever win in this boat class in intervarsity competition.

The win capped off a great day for the ANU team, which qualified for the A finals in 15 of the 16 Championships events. Two of the finals were raced today, with the remaining finals to be held on Friday.

The Rowing Championships are being held separately to the Australian University Games this year, as there is no full length rowing course available at the Gold Coast Games venue.

The ANU team is defending its crown as the champion men’s rowing university, won at the 2012 Australian University Games, and is looking to improve on its third place in the women’s rankings.

Andrew Randell Appointed as ACTAS Head Coach/ACT HPDC

Rowing Australia, the ACT Academy of Sport (ACTAS) and Rowing ACT are pleased to announce that Andrew Randell has been appointed as ACTAS Head Coach and ACT Development Coordinator.

Andrew is currently the Director of Rowing and Head Coach at Prince Alfred College and the Adelaide Rowing Club. Prior to this Andrew worked predominately within high performance clubs and schools in NSW. He was involved in roles such as Director of Coaching at The King’s School, Technical Coordinator for Rowing NSW and Head Rowing/Technical Coach at NSWIS. In the past Andrew has also held the positions of Technical Director of Rowing and Head Coach of Heavy Weight Men at Sydney University Boat Club, Head Coach at Drummoyne Rowing Club and Director of Rowing at Sydney Grammar School.

Andrew has a Post Doctorate Fellowship in Exercise and Sports Science from the University of Sydney, a Doctorate of Philosophy in Medicine from the University of NSW, a Master of Science (Hons) from the University of Wollongong, and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Canberra.

Andrew has held numerous National Team roles including Assistant Coach for the Australian Rowing Team at the Beijing Olympics, Head Coach of the Australian U23 team a number of times and a National Team Coach prior to that. He was also an Australian representative during his formative years.

Andrew spent many of his earlier years rowing in Canberra as a member of Canberra Rowing Club. He represented the ACT on several occasions in the Penrith Cup for lightweight fours.

Andrew indicated this morning he is looking forward to commencing in his new role. “I am very excited to be returning to my rowing roots. I see that the ACT rowing environment is a vibrant community and believe there is a lot of potential to build the program into the future. I am excited to see, and be involved in the development of all areas of rowing in the ACT including the school, club, elite and masters programs.”

After attending to the birth of his child towards the end of the year and finishing coaching duties in Adelaide, Andrew will commence his new role in early in 2014.

Until this time Ben Southwell will continue in his role as program caretaker and lead coach, a position he took up following Gordon Marcks’s transition to the National Rowing Centre of Excellence as head of Para-rowing.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Gordon for his many years of service and Ben for taking on his current role and ensuring services have continued for everyone currently involved in the ACTAS program.

We congratulate Andrew and look forward to working with him into the future.
