Central Queensland<br />
<strong>School</strong>s Rowing<br />
Championships<br />
Tough and windy conditions met rowers at this<br />
year’s Central Queensland <strong>School</strong>s Rowing<br />
Championships held at Bucca on Saturday 18 and<br />
Sunday 19 June 2011. Many of <strong>St</strong> Luke’s athletes<br />
were able to handle the conditions well to progress<br />
through to the finals and eventually win 8 medals.<br />
Demi Pressler-McHugh led the way winning gold in<br />
the Under 16 Girls Single Sculls and then paired up<br />
with twin sister Emma Pressler-McHugh to take<br />
first place in the Year 10 Girls Double Sculls. The<br />
Pressler-McHugh twins teamed up with Melanie<br />
Schmeider, Alexandrea Franks and Sarah Dimes<br />
to finish a close second in the Year 10 Girls Quad<br />
Sculls. Melanie Schmeider went on to place third in<br />
the Under 17 Girls Single Sculls while Alexandrea<br />
Franks and Sarah Dimes also finished third in the<br />
Year 10 Girls Double Scull. Emma<br />
Pressler-McHugh placed second in the Year 10<br />
Girls Single Sculls. Benjamin White and Ryan<br />
Chivers combined well to place second in the hotly<br />
contested Year 8 Boys Double Sculls and Rick<br />
Bennett progressed strongly through the heats and<br />
semi-finals to win the bronze medal in the Under 15<br />
Boys Single Sculls. <strong>St</strong> Luke’s rowers will now<br />
prepare themselves for the South Queensland<br />
<strong>School</strong>s Championships in July and Queensland<br />
<strong>School</strong>s Championships in September.<br />
