Speedy Single Sculls seal spots

FIVE ACT rowers sealed finals berths in their single scull categories on Day 3 of the Sydney International Rowing Regatta (SIRR) in Penrith. Caleb Antill, Hamish Harding, Harry Glackin, and Nicola Greenland joined Nathan Kennedy and Jilly Roberts in their respective A Finals held tomorrow (Thursday).

Not that medalling will be easy for any of the rowers, particularly in the open men’s single sculls. ANU’s Caleb Antill won his semi-final by 1.76s over his double scull partner David Watts; Caleb’s time of 6:55.64 was just under a second behind the winner of the other semi-final. Capital Lakes’ Harry Glackin won his semi-final in the under-23 men’s single scull; while beating junior superstar Cormac Kennedy-Leverett is a big ask, Harry is well placed to medal at his first nationals. ANU’s Hamish Harding is another well-placed to medal after winning his semi-final in the under-21 lightweight men’s single scull. ANU’s Nicola Greenland finished second in her semi-final in the under-21 women’s single scull, while ACT High Performance athlete Ash Nicholls is also through to the A Final in the under-21 men’s single scull.

The Canberra Girls Grammar under-19 coxed four of Zara Collisson, Grace Turner, Anna Khan, Harriet Wallace and Issy Shaw put Tuesday’s disappointment behind them to win through to their final. After being pipped into a finals spot by just 0.41s – and only 0.73s behind the winner – the CGGS crew led from start to finish to clinch their place in the final. Also making through to finals tomorrow are the CGGS double crew of Georgina Wallace & Jenna Oerder; the Capital Lakes double of Cara Brugeaud & Aisling Doyle; and the ANU double of Lilli Reardon & Allulah-Beth Collins, along with ANU’s Jana Pretorius.

Caleb Antill made it two from two when he won his open men’s double scull heat; Caleb’s win in the semi-final along with Luke Letcher’s fifth means that Caleb is now confirmed as the ACT representative in the interstate men’s single scull on Sunday. Other rowers in tomorrow’s B Finals include ANU’s Alexandra Moylan, Allulah-Beth Collins, Lilli Reardon, Jana Pretorius, and Maxine Rennie, and Capital Lakes’ Nicholas Tanner.
