Congratulations to all ACT athletes who competed in the 2025 Henley Royal Regatta! It was wonderful to see some familiar faces make their way down the traditional course on the Thames.

Marist College Canberra and Canberra Girls Grammar School both moved into the coxless boats to contest the Junior Quads in the Fawley Challenge Cup and Diamond Jubilee Cup respectively after a successful Australian Season but were knocked out in the heats.

CGGS also sent their Junior double across, who despite fantastic racing missed out on qualifying by one place.

ACT Academy of Sport athlete Alexander Wolf gave the Diamond Challenge Sculls a strong effort but was up against some strong competition and was knocked out in the heats.

It was however a former ACT and ANU Boat Club athlete in Olenka Moran who shone bright with the Rutgers University crew in the Island Challenge, setting a new record in the final and heading back to the US with a very shiny trophy.

We also want to give a shoutout to our friends at the Rowing Australia Reinhold Batschi National Training Centre, with the Men’s Eight taking out the Grand Challenge Cup and equalling the record.
