This is Your Captain Speaking


Hi everyone and welcome to a special edition of the WARC newsletter.

In case you didn't know, our top athletes have been racing hard in the heat all week at the Australian Rowing Championships at Champion Lakes. We're now up to the final three days of racing, with all of the medals to be decided.

If you can, I'd strongly encourage you to make your way down to Champion Lakes to cheer our team on! Below you'll find a full list of all of the races to watch over the weekend, though do check the race times at http://roms.rowingaustralia.com.au/, as races may be moved due to the expected hot weather.

To the WARC athletes: well done, we are all incredibly proud of how you've performed thus far and we know you have what it takes to succeed. Good luck and race hard.

To the small army of coaches, parents and volunteers who have assisted in getting our crews on the water and with the running of the event, you have my heartfelt thanks - we couldn't make it without you.

So, onwards and upwards!

Cheers,
Mike Jones
WARC Captain
