The Brentwood Crews at the Regatta

Boys Jr. B 8+: GOLD	Dan Thompson, Dan Bester, Spencer Crowley, Seb Kallos, Cam Gilham, Simon Woods, Jacob Robinson, Kelen Elp, Jason Pasnak	An impressive display of talent with this crew. They took control of the race early and won by 10 seconds at the end of the race.
Boys Jr.B 4+: GOLD	Andrew Gottlieb Sebastian Kallos, Cam Gilham, Simon Woods, Spencer Crowley	Another impressive performance by this enormously talented crew. They raced the field hard and won their final with grace and respect for all crews in the competition. These five athletes have 3 gold medals from the regatta — a substantial achievement!
Boys Jr.B Novice 4+: GOLD	Andrew Gottlieb, Luke McLellan, Ollie Greenberg, Liam Harrison, Geoff Friedricks	This crew’s first race was the novice 4x+. They did not have an enjoyable race here, despite winning a silver medal! They much preferred sweep rowing. Once they only had one oar in front of them, this crew had an excellent qualifying heat, and demonstrated their skill and fitness, winning gold in this event.
Boys Jr.B Novice 8+: GOLD	Andrew Gottlieb, Ollie Greenberg, Luke McLellan, Geoff Friedricks, Liam Harrison, Jacob Robinson, Dan Munsell, Jason Pasnak, Nick Hsu	Continuing a tradition, this crew raced a gutsy race from stroke seat down to the bowman. They are a crew that has managed to come together and realise their true potential when they work together as a crew. They raced this straight final with determination and technical skill.
Boys Jr. A JV 8+: GOLD	Dan Thompson, Dan Bester, Spencer Crowley, Seb Kallos, Cam Gilham, Simon Woods, Jacob Robinson, Kelen Elp, Jason Pasnak	This crew raced against other Jr. B crews and demonstrated that their hard-work, talent and technical achievements make them a crew worth reckoning. The Jr. A JV race, however, was a true test of what this crew was made of. It was a four boat race from the word go. These guys fought hard amongst crews of older boys for the entire race, and put it all out there in the last 300m and won by a boat length, to achieve a first in Brentwood history: a Jr. B boat winning gold in a Jr. Acategory. Truly a great accomplishment.
Boys Jr. B 4x+: Did not advance	Andrew Gottlieb, Mark Stephen Wells Greeno-McNeil, Brenden Hodgson, Derek Kozel	These guys had two substantial rows over the weekend, and it was a tribute to their hard-work and great attitude that they had some unforgettable experiences! Unfortunately, they were a crew who suffered from the weather. Again, their winning spirit deserves a gold medal!
Boys Jr.B Novice 4x+: Silver	Andrew Gottlieb, Luke McLellan, Ollie Greenberg, Liam Harrison, Geoff Friedricks	This crew tried to put some good strokes together, and managed to complete a solid race against some excellent competition. In the end, they had two solid races, where they raced very well demonstrating their skill and fitness.
Boys Jr.B Lwt 4+: Did not advance	Dan Thompson, Sean Ferguson, Andrew Meyer, Dylan Wood, Kelen Epp	Tough heat and little down time between the races did not allow this crew to perform to their full potential. Fourth by the smallest of margins shows us that there is speed to be found in this crew.
Boys Jr.B Novice 4x+: Did not advance	Dan Thompson, Derek Kozel, Dan Munsell, Mark A—N, Cooper Bockus	The sea was angry that day, my friends! This crew braved the waters, and just reaching the shore was victory enough for them. Kudos for their great attitude and winning spirit!
Girls Jr A Novice 4x+ SILVER,	Alexandra Prieur, Seghan MacDonald and Amanda Munsell.	Boat included Hanako Okano (cox), Quinn Erickson (subbed for Lindsay Rinning, who was in another race too close to compete in this one).
Girls Jr A 3V 4+ GOLD	Sarah Bell-Etkin (cox), Annabelle Glass, Alexandra Prieur, Sarah Laird (who switched sides and rowed in the lightweight 4+) and Kelly Heeringa.	With a solid lead, the crew cruised to victory in a time of 5:49.

Girls Jr.A 3 V 8+: Bronze	Sarah Bell, Annabelle Glass, Kelly Heeringa, Jessie Helfrich, Lindsay Rinning, Seghan MacDonald, Alex Prieur, Sarah Williams, Sarah Rosen	Incredible finish. There were five crews vying for the final two positions. Their time of 5:52 was one second faster than the fourth place crew.
Girls Jr.A Novice 8+: Did not advance	Hanako Okano, Amanda Munsell, Alex Prieur, Seghan MacDonald, Kristine Friesen, Natasha Zadra, Gillian Hunter, Abby Rosen, Jess Kosa	This crew has not rowed that many times together and came up against some very stiff competition from the American crews.
Senior Girls Jr.A 63 kg 4+: Bronze	Gigi McQueen, Kiri Bleecker, Sarah Laird and fellow lightweight Sarah Rosen combined with	Excellent race and the results were very positive for these girls.
Girls Jr. A 4	Ria Parks, Ashley Van Order, Kat Davy Trainer, Lisa Small, Kim Benda	These girls fought an epic battle over 1500m only to be edged at the line by eventual Gold and Bronze medalists Everett and Sammamish.

Boys Jr. A 8+: 6^th in the Grand final	Chris: Ambrose Noah Joni Joshua Geordie Adam Adam Elliott	Racing in the Junior A race gave the crew an opportunity to place themselves against the best in the Pacific Northwest.

Boys Jr.A JV 4+: Did not advance	Warren Lewis, Jeff Ulmer, Ross Gilmour, Tyler Dietrich, Graham Gilbert	Johannes Buschling was injured the day before the regatta so Ross Gilmour moved in. Equipment problems during the course of the race prevented the crew from advancing to the final.
Boys Jr. A Ltwt4+: Did not advance	David Summers: Max King, Charles Angle, Mike Mains Pat Johnston	The final was the heat and the top four boats had four of the top six times for the event. Placing 4^th in the heat meant that the crew did not advance to the Grand final.
Boys Jr. A 1X: Did not advance	Adam Bensted	Adam raced gallantly but did not make it through to the final.
Boys AJv2X: GOLD	Tom Holland Ben Higgs	The two rugby players made a decision in December to focus on rugby and row recreationally. Their goal was to win a medal in the JV double at the Brentwood Regatta. Making it to the final in lane 1, the crew was able to see what the rest of the field was doing. With a tremendous sprint the crew was able to get a one length lead before cruising to victory
Boys A2X: Silver	Noah McColl, Ambrose Carr	This was the only event where there were heats, semi finals and then at the end of the day on Sunday, the Grand final. In the hunt for the entire race. Was close to the St.Georges double only to lose out on the last push to the line.

Boys Sr. Lwt 8+ Final: Bronze	David Summers: Max King, Dan Bester Pat Johnston, Mike Mains, Dylan Wood Charles, Angle, Jason Pasnak Kelen Epp	Always an exciting race for the crowd. This year was no exception. The crew performed according to plan and stole the bronze medal from Mt.Baker in the last 250 meters. The Jr. B Boys were excited about this race, and that certainly came through in their performance. They raced hard amid some tough crews. Their commitment to this composite crew of Jr and Sr rowers allowed them to put forth a very strong race!

What an amazing event! I want to thank all the parent volunteers for their continued support of the regatta and helping stage this magnificent event. The competition was fierce yet the final results from our club are the best in five years.
