Andrews House Wins Roberts Family Trophy Interhouse Indoor Rowing Competition!

Returning to the Fitness Centre Breezeway for its second year of competition, the Inter-House Relay lived up to its ‘Loudest Interhouse’ event title. The lunch time relays saw boys' and girls' teams race each other as several athletes exhausted themselves chasing some much-needed house points.

Tuesday was the Open relays with athletes from Year 11 and 12. Andrews House set the standard from the first race with a win to the Open Girls team, followed closely by Franklin. A special mention of the Veivers House solo effort from Eliza Strong. The top results were flipped for the Open Boys with Franklin taking the win and Andrews finishing second.

On Wednesday lunchtime it was time for the Year 9 and 10 teams to take to the ergos and race for the line. Laver produced a fantastic win for the Girls team, holding off a fast-finishing Veivers. For the Boys teams it was Andrews who set the pace over Veivers for the win. The two second places for Veivers were much needed as they defended their 2022 title.

Finally, Thursday had the Year 7 and 8 teams to decide which house would claim the Roberts Family Inter-House Rowing Trophy. The lead changed several times in the Girls race as Starkey, Andrews and Veivers all pushed each other for the win. With some smooth transitions it was Andrews who were able execute some great teamwork and score the win. With Andrews now well on top it was then down to the Boys teams to decide the minor placings. Despite a huge deficit the Laver Boys finished on top to win the last race of the competition and Veivers posted a second place to finish second overall behind Andrews House.
