College rowing team top their league

Bexhill College's Girls' Rowing Team have won the girl's year 12-13 National Schools League for 2007.

The Teachers' team were also successful coming second in their category.

The competition was an open national event involving a monthly relay where teams of 8 had to complete various pre-set distances and times on a rowing ergometer (stationary rower). These results then had to be sent into the organisers, Concept 2.

The girls were Gemma Cropper, Rachel Garland, Jess Campbell, Sophie White, Hannah Ruddock, Lucy Sangster, Becky Frost, Holly Makin.

The teams will be entering the Schools League again next year and will also be participating in the British Indoor Rowing Champs in Birmingham in November 2007.

Principal, Karen Hucker said "Rowing is a new venture for the College. Congratulations go to the students and staff for two outstanding results."
