York Rowing Club women's junior crews won three races and reached two more finals at Bradford Sprint Regatta.
Racing over the 700 metre sprint course, Caroline Jones and Morven Porteous won the women's junior double sculls, beating St Peter's School in the final. Jones and Morven Porteous then raced in a higher category in women's senior 2 double sculls, beating a Bradford adult crew by one and a half lengths.
Freya Porteous, despite not having had time to train in her single scull because of her training in quads for the National Schools' Championships at Nottingham next weekend, won the women's junior 15 sculls.
In the semi-final she beat a St Leonard's School sculler who, three weeks ago, won women's junior 15 single sculls event in the GB Inter-regional Regatta at Nottingham. In the final Freya beat a sculler from Newark.
Freya then double sculled with Rebecca Weerakoon but they were beaten in the final of women's novice double sculls by St Peter's School. George Scott reached the men's senior 2 sculls final, losing by two and a half lengths to a Newark sculler.
