Culcheth High rowing team celebrated success as they went head-to-head with other schools in a regatta.
The year eight pupils competed in the All Aboard Rowing Schools Regatta, showcasing their skills along the River Mersey alongside 30 other schools that took part.
Close to home, the Regatta took place on the Mersey at Warrington Rowing Club, in the glorious sunshine, with schools emerging from across the north west including Warrington, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Northwich & Runcorn.
Rowing teams set off in their respective time trails on the 300m course.
Culcheth High School girls crew came third place and received bronze medals in the Regional Results with a time of 1:39:2.
The CHS boys crew came first place and received gold medals in the regional results.
The Culcheth boys also claimed the honour of the Schools Regatta Boys Shield winning the overall open results with the fastest time of 1:25:4.
Their achievements are based on their commitment and tremendous effort levels during every training session.
All Aboard Youth Rowing (formerly known as the charity Warrington Youth Rowing) operates across six rowing clubs in the north west.
The program currently has almost 400 students from 36 schools benefiting from weekly sessions, which take place as part of the school curriculum.
The charity not only provides high quality coaching and facilities but it is deeply passionate about giving a wide range of young people new and enhanced experiences through the wonderful sport of rowing.
And the rowing programme initially started at Warrington Rowing Club in 2016.
Culcheth High School began its rowing journey back in 2017. Past and present students of CHS have achieved many successes over the years at both the Indoor Rowing Championships and School Regattas.
Miss Creighton, pastoral support officer at CHS, and the rowing coach for the team expressed her tremendous ‘pride’ at how the team performed.
“Students wear their rowing kit with pride and thrive not just from the physical challenges they face and overcome, but their own personal goals they achieve; developing new skills which will stay with them for the future,” she said.
“The students have done extremely well, and deserve to be very proud of their achievements.”
