On Saturday 13 May, the Yarra River played host to the 142nd edition of the College Rowing Regatta, continuing the tradition since the event's first in 1881. The foggy weather did not deter the spectators, who flocked to the banks of the Yarra for the year’s biggest Intercollegiate event.
Trinity and Ormond College ended up splitting the honours in the races despite great efforts from all competitors
Overall, it was a highly successful event, underpinned by enthusiastic crowd support. Congratulations to the winning crews from Ormond and Trinity. Additionally, many thanks to the volunteers from Melbourne University Boat Club, who contributed significantly to the running of the event and special mention to Greg Longden and Maddy Goldsmith as the Regatta’s principal organisers.
