The S5 girls’ rowing team became Scottish champions at last week's Scottish Schools’ Indoor Championships in Motherwell.

The team, consisting of Fifth Years Sarah Paterson, Gabriella Smart and Lana Wallace, as well as Katie McCall of Fourth Year, were victorious in the S5 Girls’ Team event, winning the 2000m race by a margin of just three seconds.

There was also individual success for team member Sarah Paterson who covered more than 1500m in six minutes to win individual Silver, while Gabriella Smart finished just outside of the individual medals with a fourth place finish, missing out on Bronze by a distance of just three metres!

On an impressive day for the School's female rowers, the S6 girls’ team of Lucy Ashton, Lucy Gardner, Morgan Ritchie and Ciara Rogers also finished as runners up in their team event.
