Holy Rosary  School Rowers Shine on RowSA U.16 Development Tour. I am sharing a wonderful achievement from Holy Rosary School following the return of four of their U.16 rowers from the United Kingdom.

Erin Beeming, Cleo de Keizer, Emilia Riccardi, and Kate Zillen were selected for the prestigious RowSA U16 Development Tour, where they represented Rowing South Africa at the iconic Dorney Lake.

The girls competed in two major international regattas, securing a Gold medal in the JW16 Four and winning the B Final in the single sculls.
