April 16th - Kent - Page 4

Our first race of the season. Tough day coming of early weeks hampered by bad weather and some illnesses working their way through the school. Strong opposition from Kent who are on their third race of the season and looking very good.
Our target is to peak on May 28th at Interschols and now we know how ferociously we will have to work over the coming weeks.
John Dent, of the Dent Oars, joined us this weekend and shared his 60 years of rowing experience with our young rowers while announcing the retirement of his trophy to be replaced by a new spectacular trophy in honor of his two close friends Hart Perry and Bill Brown. He spoke warmly of his time as a young coach at both Andover and Kent and his respect for the long history, quality and passion of both programs. John's rowing career stretches from Eton and Oxford as a student to his current role as President of a rowing club in Cambridge England.
