Day 4

Day 4: Racing begins. We have ten crews racing for a spot in the semi finals tomorrow. All of these heats are the winner and a number of fast crews making it to the semi finals. It ranged from twelve crews after the winners in the Senior Men 4+ to seven  crews in the Senior Women 2x. Here are the results:

 

8:14 am – Senior Men Double: 5th in heat. They did not advance.

10:20 am Sr. Men 72 kg 4+: Third in heat. They had the third fastest time out of the 28 crews and qualified for the semi finals.

11:16 am – Sr. Men 4+ -Won their heat. Straight through.

11:44 am – Junior Men Double: Won their heat. Straight through. 

11:58 am – Sr Men 72 kg 1x: Brett was 5th in his heat and did not advance.

1:36 pm – Sr Women 2x: Interesting race of the day. Leading for the first 750 meters, Claire and Deirdre had total control of the race. Unfortunately, Claire caught a boat stopping crab and they came to a halting stop. Claire had to take her oar out of the oarlock and unwrap it from the buoy she caught it on. Now in last place, they raced to the finish line, passing four boats to finish third. Fortunately, they had the second fastest "next" time and qualified for the semis.

1:43 pm – Jr. Men 4+: Second in their heat and qualified with the fastest "next" time in the event.

2:53 pm – Jr. Men 66 kg 4+: They finished third in their heat and placed 3rd in the "next" fastest time in the event.

3:14 pm Race –Sr. Men 1x: Tom L, our Grade 9 student from Tasmania, finished 5th in his heat and did not advance. He will have lots of energy to race in the junior single tomorrow.

4:31 pm – Sr. Women 1x: Claire V redeemed herself in the single by taking control early and winning her heat with the fourth fastest time in the event. 

Saturday races are all about qualifying for the finals on Sunday. We are in thirteen races tomorrow and we hope to see many Brentwood crews in the finals.
