The Canadian School Rowing Championships took place last week in St. Catherine’s, Ontario. Proud parents Bronwyn and Stewart Macdonald celebrated when their daughter Danielle rowed to a gold finish along with her Junior Women’s four with coxswain crew.

The crew is from Brentwood College on Vancouver Island where Danielle is attending school. Danielle was also in the Junior Women’s 8+ which placed a respectable third place for a bronze metal.

Danielle started rowing May 2014 in Cranbrook with the Rockies Rowing Club and joined three other rowers from here (Reili Savage, Katie Clark and Zoe Chore) to participate in the BC Summer Games in Naniamo last season.

Danielle went from sculling where the rower uses two oars to sweep rowing where the rower maneuvers one oar. She can be seen in the picture above second from the left.

Congratulations Danielle on your success.
