After journeying up over the stateline to the windy Sunshine Coast, Mosman Rowing Clubs members on the NSW Youth Cup Team; Olivia Heath, Adam de Koning and coach Simon Hoadley, competed well to bring home a swag of medals.
Ollie and Adam definitely did their bit for the NSW team. Of the official pointscoring races, all but one of the NSW medal winning boats had a Mosman Rowing Club athlete on board. Olivia grabbed a brace of Bronze medals, racing in the lightweight 2x and openweight 8+. This is a great stepping stone for Olivia as she has several more years to race in this age group, and competed well in all her events.
Adam also medaled in his lightweight 2x, getting a gutsy Silver medal for his inspiring efforts. A second Silver medal was earned by Adam in the openweight 4x. NSW’s only other medal was a Gold through Kurt Spencer in the Open 1x.
Both Olivia and Adam got a 4th placing in all their other events.
Overall the NSW team finished a competitive 3rd place behind the victorious New Zealand team, and the strong hometown team from Queensland.The 3rd placing was achieved through a solid and consistent all-around team effort, where every NSW crew qualified for the A final.
