The Junior Sculling Regatta 2026

To round the weekend off the J14s, J15s, and J16s returned to Dorney Lake to compete in the Junior Sculling Regatta, they fielded an impressive number of crews, demonstrating impressive depth across all age categories. The highlights of the day included an impressive performance from the J15 2nd 4x+ placing 15th overall and being the second fastest 2nd crew in the category. The J14s also produced a dominant performance with both the quad and octo finishing in medal positions (1st and 2nd respectively). It was excellent to have so many crews out and racing, with great preparation taking place in the lead up to the National Schools Regatta.
