STUDENTS from the College of Law, rowing under York City Rowing Club colours, pulled off a fine win in the Women's Novice Coxed fours at the Bradford Regatta.
The crew of Louise Hamilton (bow), Katherine McDonagh, Lucy Preston, Jo Matthews (stroke) and Kathryn Smith battled through three heats over a 650 metre sprint course to make the final.
It was a pleasing win for Ian Hazel and George Scott as it was their first attempt at coaching women's crews.
Junior scullers Freya Porteous and Jenny Addison won the Women's Novice Double Sculls. A feature of their racing was their excellent starts and within 15 strokes forged half a length ahead of the field.
Caroline Jones continued her successful start to the season by winning Durham Regatta Women's Junior Single sculls.
Jones was then joined by Charlotte Richer and they went on to win Women's Junior Double Sculls in convincing style.
Coaches David Wilde and Phil Jones will be pushing the girls hard over the next two weeks in preparation for the National Schools Championships over the 2000-metre course at the National Watersports Centre at Holmepierpont, Nottingham, on June 1 and 2.
