World Cup II
Australia has had some fantastic results last week at World Cup II in Linz, Austria including winning gold in both the Men’s and Women’s Fours.
Canberrans Luke Letcher (BMRC) and Caleb Antill (ANUBC), along with David Watts and Alexander Purnell, raced against 12 other countries in the Men’s Quad Scull. Racing through a tough A-final, they pushed through to fourth place in the final 500m, however Germany just beat them to the podium by 0.78 of a second.
The crew will race again at World Cup III in Lucerne, Switzerland on 13 – 15 July.

Thank you to everyone who responded to the inaugural School Leaver Survey, and congratulations to the 3 random prize winners: Sarah Davoren, John Baker and Chloe Wheel. You should receive an email shortly.
Rowing ACT will be analysing the results of the survey over the next few months to better understand the attitudes and aspirations of rowers/coxswains aged 16-25 years old. This information can then be used to improve the retention rate of rowers/coxswains transitioning from school rowing programs into club rowing programs as well as ongoing engagement with Rowing ACT (eg as coaches and volunteers).
