Oakland Strokes varsity women's team returned with a "boatload" of gold medals from the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta, which took place in Ontario on Aug. 4-11.
Of the 21 events they entered, Oakland Strokes boats reached six finals, and won three of them: Senior Lightweight Womens Dash 8+, Under 23 Lightweight Womens 8+, and Under 19 Womens 8+. Between the three boats, seventeen athletes won a total of 27 gold medals.
"Getting to the finals at Henley is a challenging goal for any rower," says Teresa Guthrie, varsity girls' coach, "winning gold is a real accomplishment."
