West Australian Rowing Club

Head Race season wrap up!

Three races. Countless kilometres. Plenty of early mornings.

From Guildford to Garrett, through Mettam’s Head Race, and finishing with the iconic Perth to Fremantle, WARC crews delivered a fantastic head race campaign.

Highlights from the season included:
🥇 Open Women’s Double Scull - Mettam’s Head Race
🥇 Masters Men’s Single Scull - Mettam’s Head Race
🥇 Masters Men’s Open Coxed Quad - Mettam’s Head Race
🥇 Masters Women’s Coxed Quad - Mettam’s Head Race
🥇 Open Women’s Single Scull - Perth to Freo
🥇 Open Men’s Eight - Perth to Freo

Behind those results were countless personal bests, strong debuts and determined performances across events.

Congratulations to every athlete, coxswain, coach and volunteer who proudly represented WARC throughout the head race season. The hard work over winter has set us up well as we head into Pennant racing.

Bring on the side-by-side racing! ❤️💛🖤
