Held on International Women’s Day, WeHorr is the largest women’s rowing event by number in the world. One of the things that makes it so special is the fact that anyone from novices all the way up to Olympic champions can compete in this race. The lead up to the event was tough, as flooding continued to keep the team off the water. Despite these difficulties, the girls stepped up to the challenge, eager to demonstrate the results of their solid winter training.
This year, Headington sent out 3 crews to compete on this 6.8 kilometer stretch of the Tideway in London. Out of 43 boats in the junior categories, the 1st 8+ came 2nd behind Tideway Scullers by 0.6 seconds, the 2nd 8+ came 10th and were the fastest 2nd 8+, and the 3rd 8+ came 22nd and were the fastest 3rd 8+.
What an impressive set of performances across the board, and the girls will surely be excited to see how much they can step on for the final head race of the season: School’s Head of the River.
