Rowers clean up in Ottawa
The Queen’s rowing team travelled to Ottawa for the Head of the Rideau Regatta last weekend and returned full-handed, with 14 gold, six silver and one bronze medal.
The men’s rowers won all nine golds in their races, with Morgan Jarvis finishing one second behind the course record in the Open Men’s Single.
The women’s singles saw the Gaels finish first and second, with Nicole Campbell and Connie Dayboll both finishing more than a minute ahead of the other rowers.
Another highlight of the day was the heavyweight men’s eight, who posted the fastest time of the day on the course.
The rowing team will be at Trent University this weekend for the Head of the Trent Regatta.
