TSS ROWING FIRST VIII CLAIMS HEAD OF RIVER AFTER 12 YEARS

TSS Rowing had a good season with a number of crews performing exceptionally well at the Head of the River. The TSS First VIII pulled off one of the great victories to win the Head of the River, bringing back the O’Connor Cup to TSS for the first time in over a decade. This result was huge for the School and we now place our focus on sustainability in the hope to produce more winning crews in the coming seasons.

The TSS Rowing program had 210 rowers signed on for the 2018 season. Using this large squad the School was able to field all GPS point scoring events available, with three extra crews to bolster the squad. TSS Rowing had a solid day at Lake Wyaralong in the Beaudesert Hinterland, achieving third place in the Old Boys Cup, which reflects the depth across the GPS squads.

One of the many highlights was the fact we finished in the top three in 12 of the 15 available races on the day. We will continue to work hard, with the focus of keeping all TSS crews competitive and getting all boats into the top three at the Head of the River. There were many highlights to the 2018 Season. Our Year 8 learn to row program introduced all new rowers, with their performances reflecting this with six of the 10 divisions winning their race. The Year 10 program performed solidly improving on their Year 9 season with a noted increase in performance and attitude toward shed culture.

Our Year 11 program performed well on the day and have proven they will be a strong group coming through for 2019. One of the major highlights of the 2018 season was the Year 11 VIII. They were a small cohort in Year 9 and have developed into a strong squad and we wait with anticipation to see what they are capable of in 2019 and the hunt for the O’Connor Cup.

In addition to the Head of the River, TSS attended the Australian Rowing National Championships held at the Sydney International Regatta Centre.

• Men’s Under 17 Quad – 3rd • Men’s Under 19 4+ – 1st

• Men’s Under 19 8+ – 4th

• Championship School Boy VIII – 4th The 2018 rowing season for TSS saw many solid performances throughout the season. There is no doubt that the School can aspire to higher levels of achievement within QLD GPS Rowing. Based on our improvement over the past few seasons we are looking forward eagerly to the 2019 Head of the River.
