Records fell in seven categories at the Hamilton Indoor Rowing Championships Saturday at Leander Boat Club. As the ergometer (indoor rowing) machines cooled, Westdale Warriors emerged as the winners of the first indoor high school rowing title.

The championships, held Saturday (Feb. 18th) also featured university and senior athletes, as well as others competing in the 30-and-older masters divisions.

Westdale held off an early charge by second-pace St. Mary’s Crusaders in the junior lightweight divisions. The Warriors prevailed in six races, while St. Mary’s placed first in five. Bishop Tonnos Titans picked up wins in two divisions. Hillfield-Strathallan College and the new Ancaster high school rowing program entered rowers in a handful of divisions.

Anise Truman beat her record from a year ago in winning the senior high school women’s 135 lbs division. The Grade 12 student at Westdale posted a time of 7:54.8 over the 2,000-metre (2K) distance.

Westdale’s Tom Brown was also on record pace, winning the senior high school men’s race by more than five seconds in 7:11.3. Moments later, Warrior teammate Alex Glaros posted a time of 6:53.5 to win the high school men’s senior 165-lbs division.

First-year Westdale rower Griffin Wallace had a stellar debut in the Hamilton championships, winner the junior high school men’s 150-lbs race in a time of 7:22.9, almost seven seconds ahead of the nearest competitor.

Westdale’s Vienna Lam pulled double duty Saturday. After racing in the senior women’s 135-lbs division, Lam won the coxswain’s crawl, a 1K race, in a record time, 4:06.9.

Warrior rower Daniel Castellana also turned in a first-place finish in the under-23 men’s 165-lbs division who went head-to-head with McMaster’s Ian Connell. The latter’s record time of 6:29.6 was among the fastest of the day.

St. Mary’s Crusaders earned a victory in the first high school race of the day, courtesy of Dave Naar who turned in a winning time of 7:14.8 in the junior men’s race.
