History of the Queensland GPS Head of the River rowing regatta

1999 NSW Schoolgirls Head of the River

(Alex Brown, Sydney Morning Herald, 29 Mar 1999)

Fellow North Shore school Pymble Ladies’ College overpowered their rivals in yesterday’s Schoolgirls’ Head of the River, winning the first eights race by almost nine seconds from Wenona.

A staggering 29.06s separated the field over the 2km course. PLC also won two other titles in the preliminaries in the 21-race regatta.

Loreto Normanhurst held off a game challenge from PLC in the first coxed four – one of five second placings the Pymble-based college achieved on the day.

Queenwood emerged triumphant in the open coxed fours, with SCEGS Redlands and Roseville in second and third.

The idea for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin developed and extended these histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and then expanded the site.

Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
