The Scottish Schools Indoor Regionals

The 18th of March saw Scottish Rowing, in partnership with both Glasgow and Edinburgh Universities, host the Scottish School’s Indoor Regional Championships.

The simultaneous events saw over 200 pupils from around 20 schools stretching from the West coast to the East coast of Scotland compete, both individually and as part of age group relay teams, all in the name of school pride.

Reigning Olympic Champions Katherine Grainger and Heather Stanning are among the Scottish rowers named in the GB Rowing Team for next month’s European Championships – the first major selection of the Rio 2016 Olympic season.

Former World Champion Polly Swann returns to the team after missing last season through injury, while Alan Sinclair has fought off some fierce internal competition to secure a place in the men’s pair.

Relative rookies Karen Bennett and Angus Groom also get the nod from the selectors, while Imogen Walsh and Sam Scrimgeour are also in the squad for the regatta in Brandenburg, Germany from May 6-8.

Seats in the GB Rowing Team for the non-Olympic summer programme will be the target at Caversham over the next two days as 16 rowers representing Scottish Rowing get set to compete against some of the leading rowers from across the country at the GB Rowing Team Senior and Under 23 Trials.

These trials, following hot on the heels of last month’s Olympic Trials, will help to identify rowers for this year’s World Rowing Championships and World Rowing Under 23 Championships (both being held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands - 21-28 August) and the FISU World University Rowing Championships (Poznan, Poland – 2-4 September).

15 Scottish rowers will be looking to book their seats on the plane to Rio at next week’s Olympic trials organised by the GB Rowing Team at Caversham, near Reading. Whilst reigning Olympic Champion Katherine Grainger is sidelined with a ‘minor niggle’ the record Scottish contingent features a mixture of established internationals and emerging talent.

Eleven crews travelled down to London on the 19th March for what turned out to be a record-breaking day at the Head of the River Race on the Tideway. Four crews set their club record for their highest ever placing at the race, whilst five Scottish University crews finished inside the top one hundred for the first time.

European Rowing Championships legacy plans for Strathclyde Country Park will serve the local community for years to come, according to the governing body for World Rowing (FISA).

Following the federation’s first technical visit this month, Matt Smith, FISA’s Executive Director, said the Park’s loch would not only provide an excellent venue for the 2018 event but deliver economic, social and sporting legacy for the local community and host city of Glasgow.
