Deep Sea Angling
Karla Rautmann (Grade 10) participated in the 2021 SADSAA Senior Bottom Fish Nationals in Struisbaai this past week. This is one of the 3 most prestigious boat angling competitions held in SA each year for senior anglers. Provincial, SADSAA and Protea anglers all compete against each other in teams of three in this competition which this year boasted 14 participating teams. Karla, still technically a junior angler at 16 years old, was the youngest participant.
We are extremely proud of her and her team. The Western Province Senior Ladies Team, consisting of Adele Palmer (captain), Amanda van Staden and Karla Rautmann, won a silver medal in the woman’s division of the competition. Although it is a team and not an individual competition, individual standings are also given. Karla was the second-best angler in the ladies’ division and ended up in 11th position overall out of 42 anglers.
Congratulations on once again making RGHS so proud of your achievements.
Rowing
RGHS rowers competed with their club, Peninsula Girls (PGRC) in the Spring Regatta at Elgin on 17 October.
In the Open category, Alice Wannell (Grade 11) came 2nd in the U19 pairs and 2nd in the U19 coxed quad. Darcy Gliddon and Hannah Murphy (both Grade 9s) won a medal for 1st in the U16 Doubles event with Robin Day in 2nd place with her Herschel partner.
Robin won a medal for 1st in U16A Scull (single) in which Darcy came 2nd.
Lyla Cahill (Grade 8) won medals for 1st place in both her events – U15A scull and doubles.
This was the first regatta for the following Grade 8 learners who did extremely well in scull, doubles and quad events: Shannon McDiarmid, Taylor Deacon, Sarah Williams and Sienna Calow.
Congratulations on these outstanding results.
These rowers are competing in a Sprints regatta and a Heads race next weekend at Misverstand dam and we wish them all the best.
